A 14-year-old black schoolboy has accused the (STILL INSTITUTIONALLY RACIST) Met police of racist targeting after claiming he's been stopped by police about 30 times in the last two years. He's not been charged with or convicted of any offence.

A very short (for me) #THREAD on the MacPherson Report & institutional racism:

Claims that #StopAndSearch is an effective way to control & deter offending are misplaced. Every stop should be justified in itself, not in that it has some putative wider effect on crime. Stop & search is more a tool of social control than crime-fighting. academic.oup.com/bjc/article/58…
