*SPECIAL EPISODE* About The Police & Institutional Racism10 Jun13 min

<p>This article was written last year, and rejected by establishment media so I have chosen to share it here in light of Kemi Badenoch’s dangerous article in The Times. </p><p><br></p><p>She fails to reference all the reports and reviews :</p><p>Scarman Report, Lammy Review, IPCC review, IOPC and internal reviews, Baroness Casey Report, Dr Shereen Daniel’s Race Action Plan.. she does however mention the Macpherson inquiry in an attempt to weaken it and reverse the progress it made. </p><p>She calls for an “independent review” while failing to reference all the reviews and reports that have consistently revealed institutional racism in the police and the Police’s culture of self- protectionism.</p><p><br></p><p>The met police alone receive an annual budget of over £4.6billion and yet everyone interviewed for this article has experiences of ineffective policing. In fact I am yet to hear one story of successful policing. Ever.</p><p><br></p><p>The statistics show the same:</p><p>- only 6.6% of domestic abuse cases ever result in charges</p><p>- 2.9% of burglaries ever have any action</p><p>- 0.69% of car thefts are ever even looked into</p><p>- 0.6% of personal theft ever leads to tangible action</p><p><br></p><p>So what do the police actually do? Who do they protect and serve? </p><p><br></p><p>Baroness Casey observed they are “long on activity, but short on action.” I see no action at all.</p><p><br></p>
