3/8 #ShekuBayoh death in police custody ‘Somebody has lost their life, so anybody who attempts to dehumanise, smear or downplay the seriousness of the matter needs to take a very long hard look at themselves & think twice about what they are doing’ dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…
#GeorgeFloydVerdict is not the end. No1 should be above the law, yet since 1969 not 1 police officer in the UK has been convicted of killing a person in custody, this verdict should be the beginning -Never forget #ShekuBayoh & so many more💔 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
The UK is not innocent, there have been 1,741 deaths in police custody or otherwise following contact with the police since 1990. No police officer has ever been convicted in connection to those deaths. #GeorgeFloyd
#GeorgeFloyd was not just about racial injustice in the 🇺🇸 a black person in the UK is twice as likely to die in police custody than any other ethnicity. So what now?
