police malfeasance

HOLDING POLICE TO ACCOUNT (without torching the neighbourhood)

In 2018, 996 people were shot dead by American law enforcement.  In the years 2018-2019, there were 3 such fatalities for England and Wales. Three! Granted the population of the United States dwarfs that of the entire British Isles, but that is still one enormous disparity. The reason is of course America’s insane gun culture, but that doesn’t mean the police never overstep the mark in the UK.
