THREAD: A lot of people have been asking us what they can do to support #BlackLivesMatter.

Police systematically target black people with stop & search - so much so that in London black people are 4 times more likely to be stop & searched than white people. #BLMLDN

Many of those killed by the police in the UK were done so after a stop & search.

We've revised our guidance on filming the police during stop & search.

Film the police. Film, film, film the police:

@GBCLegal @UFFCampaign Shout out to our trolls!

Delighted you are sending your racist nonsense towards us rather than black people.
