INSTITUTIONAL RACISM
43 UK POLICE FORCES
Britain’s most senior police leaders are considering making a public admission that their forces are institutionally racist, the Guardian has learned.
High-level discussions began on Thursday and come as their special adviser on race says the declaration is needed if promises of radical reform are to be believed by black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities. More discussions will be held in January, and a decision from police chiefs is expected in February.
"The race crisis that has gripped policing led to thousands of people taking to the streets across the UK in support of Black Lives Matter, triggered by the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in the US in May 2020."

The Murder of Stephen Lawrence
Stephen Lawrence (13 September 1974 – 22 April 1993) was a black British teenager from Plumstead, Southeast London, who was murdered in a racially motivated attack while waiting for a bus in Well Hall, Eltham on the evening of 22 April 1993. The case became a cause and incident arousing widespread controversy, outside campaigning, and heated public debate up to the present day. Its fallout included cultural changes of attitudes on racism and the police, and to the law and police practice. It also led to the partial revocation of the rule against double jeopardy. Two of the perpetrators were convicted of murder in 2012.

"My son died, we have no answers, we have nothing"
Noah Donohoe’s heartbroken mother, Fiona, appeals to the public to help her find the ‘answers’ to questions she has about her son’s disappearance.
Noah went missing on June 21, 2020 and his body was discovered in a storm drain in north Belfast six days later.
A post-mortem was carried out last month and it concluded Noah’s cause of death was drowning.
However, the Donohoe family said the results of the post-mortem gave rise to more questions than answers.
If you can help and support so the family can get the answers their need. #RememberMyNoah https://t.co/0YP12Eb1Ev
