also lead on our organizations walk and our discrimination history. explain who we are, what we do, and the role that we play, and you key policing. i'm going to start right here on my laptop, looking at racial disparities in policing compared to white people. black people in the u. k are 8.9 times more likely to be searched 5.7 times more likely to face 4th by police. now, anyone who's luck valley's been growing up in u. k. for the past couple of decades. you could easily think whereas that ages ago, that's not now. but if you look at the very bottom of that source, it's 2021. levi. what he's going on with the police right now. and interactions with the public, particularly black and brown. and my ne, while at the moment, the topic policing, black, minority, ethnic communities are experiencing especially young people,

is causing a lot attention. because as you shown, the disparities around stuff and such, and the use of force that includes have tases, are used, et cetera. it gives the impression that police are like an occupying force and not a service. and that's a result of that trust and confidence is the lowest. it's been for good decade. in fact, it was an improvement after the macpherson inquiry into the death of steven lawrence and the subsequent recommendations and monitor please progress around these issues externally as well as internally and that independent oversight on the steven ernst, their group held the commissioner and all the chief principles to account. unfortunately with this new government in 2010, 10 years after we pull the independent oversight, it's gone on the streets in

a i've been literally eroded and so you've got this heavy hand to talk policing that's not being monitors or should be. there's not the supervision, a leadership that if necessary, and young people are saying the other police and unprotected, i've been running a chargeable boy you to last 20 years. and that's what those young people say. and they're 1415 year olds. and they're saying things have to improve independence over fight has gone south jumping that so i just want to take us back to mac fashion or a 2nd. i'm point that we exist only because of the racist month. people, lawrence up like 18 year old school by 28 years ago now is widely believed that the police investigate to this martyr desperately. because stephen was black. and i'm to inquire into a small talk lead to the national inquiry. and one of the recommendations led to the creation,

the p. c. and the 1st concept of independent oversight of the police and the u. k. that were dependent of government for independent of the police crash and community . and we him to improve public confidence in policing by ensuring the people that came civil father action and lessons out loud. and we do that by providing independent scrutiny of the police on behalf of the public. and it's our job to hold please to your investigations and oversight of the pizza complaint the he's fighting isn't the over fight the failing or the police fighting or both. so why was into the country it was actually those stocks that you spoke about. those stop show concerns around discrimination named the research from the haven't gone away. black people are disproportionately affected by stop and such as you've said, but also other tactics like cheese or the use of cheese or black people are 8 times more likely to have either deployed or drawn against them than the white passion.

and you've talked about the other use of force as well. and i want to bring it back to please sing chauffeur, not force. you can think why have the level of racial disparity that they do until they can start to i'm sure that fund dimensional question. they will not stop can they can roach and to community competence south you might, you might, you might such a point and let me just bring in clovis page, because this is all new to you. but i'm just gonna bring this in here. congress has to stump out racism one has knowledge to start with finding structure, racism and corruption, many recommendations with given in a public inquiry port less than fun, life were adult page. so anyway, pick up and then i, i want to make sure that we, we get away from reports and inquiries and we talk about real people and we don't

have an 8.9 percent. what person, right. you don't have that in that you have real people and camilla is our real person in this conversation. we will go ahead briefly. i'm bringing in committee next. yeah. as i said to you, i've been running, charged school, boyd cheese, and those young people said that police and under protected. and as i said that the regional young people, 1415 year old is doing a huge leadership program called young ladies for that for me. says a lot about their perceptions of please. i think the other thing is the central focus on citizens. i've been eroded by you're losing a lot of front citizens focus cups. lexi and they've been teams and faces those offices. so let me disconnect, you know, form a police officer. so you have a in 5 try can inside view. i'm going to share this, this headline. and this is that i can't think of a was headline for

a mom to be involved in. my daughter was joe for fighting off a racist attack. free c under campaign launched camilla. that's your daughter. and up until that point up to the point way, you and your daughter was involved in a huge fight that the n d tragically because she's now doing prison time and your family in the campaign is and that was wrong. this is miss herridge of justice. what did you think of police before you got involved with the police? well, i've never been involved with police before. my family, hudson's and perfection of the police. the fact they did not work black and bryan people and it was a case to stay away from them. don't speak to them. don't get in any kind of situation where police is involved or knock your door. because as a black and bryan person, you would be the one that to be accused. and that was,

that was not always been my perception of the police before they happened to see under. so scandal, when on a camping trip, when ugly, very quickly, a fight broke out police record. and then what happened? while the fight. wow. people say fight, but my daughter was brutally attacked. she was brutally attacked by 3 people. my daughter with 20 at the time. and these people that attacked her, 2 of them were men in their forties and one of them with a woman the next 30. so these were credit adults according to you know, compared to c. h. she was not from conscious true stumped on her head. she was kicked, she was brutally beaten, and she managed to get away with the help of a partner partner with unfortunately not the time of the incident. and the end when he allowed her to get away once she regained consciousness. and when she managed to

find the clear enough that com site, one police officer was already there. and the police were court because these people had said that my daughter for, for hadn't disabled daughter. he could not ruin because she had major reconstruct the surgery. 8 weeks prior to this attack had deliberately smashed the glass in the face of the woman. so to me and that was not the case. camilla, what was wrong with the way the police treat your daughter situation because she's now doing time for what she accused the people who are fighting her of doing so. she serving prison time. what to do wrong the what the police did wrong was not infest. investigate her race, hate crime allegation, not one b. and there were 2 allegations made that night and they didn't bother looking to see unders height, crunchy,

poor teeth agree and aggravated racial assaults. i need to report it as one. and they did not bother to be investigated to call, you know, white, her considerable injuries, you know, heading up the fries, dianda partition. and you are asking for what, because of why connected? well, well, what we, what we are asking for, we've raise the petition because we've shared the under side of the story. because as, as, as previously mentioned, the police did not investigate young allegations which was c v allegation she made . and we've right, the right, the petition sharing the under story in the hope that we can, you know, type bass right through to appeal stage before with the countries to stages of appeal already. and we've managed to prove already the non independent weaknesses wrong. we've already proved a life and we're trying to overturn her conviction,

and we galvanizing as much support as possible on we've got tens of thousands of people supporting us that have the common sense to see that something is not right to breathe. what's the under has been sent to prison for land or just by reading the story. it's not right. let's talk guests about that. and these are just a couple of examples here of agree jesus issues with the place where we're actually disconnection adults and saying this is racism. i want to bring in here, leroy. some thoughts about stop and search. and then let's talk about how we fix this. is it fixable? so look. so in the 1st, not in march, in july of 2020 in london. but men and boys are stocked 22000 times by the police 22000 stopping searches. a concert that's enough of action across the police force in women. hercules, both, if not in shooting races,

will i think those stop suggests otherwise there's often a strong focus on the efficacy of stopped at that in terms of whether it's useful for fighting crime, whether it's uncovered black things that actually gets dropped off the straight lee side of the human cost, and that is that black asian ethnic minority mouth predominant lays up in stockton based, much higher than their white count. and searches undermine and social factoring of our communities in our society, which is police officers are rash, b profiling communities. never. i feel like a broken record because we've had this conversation multiple times. so now what do we do when we're in 2021? that's disparity of the way police treat black and brown people. how to get, how do you address that? well, it's been

a real acknowledgment by the police and the police plan commissions, wherever they are in the country technologies they have a problem. and then start to ensure that offices who are prone to racial profiling and not stopping people through intelligence has the supervision and leadership. and so the supervisors should be holding them to account because what gets measured gets done. i mean, need to make sure that those offices are being held to account. i think the other things that needs to be a truth that there is no correlation between stop and search and knife crime. there's a lot of times they say, oh, you stop in search because it's to protect your lives. but there's never been a correlation. in fact, the home office, the company, the police, their data analysis, you can actually says that there is no correlation. sometimes they picked and trust similarly, but what you need a, a objected intelligence,

that stuff and such and working with the community you could, you can do on your own. communities needs to be working with you, especially young people. and so you've got to treat them right. you, you cost on one hand, please. can you work with us and then the other dave, you then start searching them in a heavy handed way, not intelligence led. so they asked to be proper supervision and leadership. you need to have police crime commission is holding chief constable and the commissioner to account and making sure that it's independent oversight. you call the police to do it. and so i've been in the 30th i know district and let me just most offices will do that. job without fear of favor, but there are some road offices where the very, very heavy influence influence that the argument of police everywhere as a few bad apples. a few wrote police committee. you, are you shaking your head, you nodding your head, you doing?

go ahead, go ahead. no, i think i think the feedback, the opposed, i mean the majority on the starts from the top nightly rates that you know, these higher police officers need to hold people to times on the needs to be a decent independence organization. but also police the police and that he's not there that he's not in place. and this is why we have the, the not policing the police effectively. no, i mean i hear that challenge and recognize we have more work to do to build the awareness of what we do with communities. i just like, i want to come back to stop and search because i, i agree with the roy saying around the effect that has on communities. we did the piece of work last year where we looked cities of our investigations, the all features blackman and we looked at it to see what the things that community of challenges do. we see evidence of arc,

and we did and we made you reduce our legal powers, can make 11 recommendations to change policing practice, to the metropolitan police and the syria. they were all accepted and we are following up to make sure that those recommend when you get the form of one. because often this conversation turns into recommendations and inquiries and investigations and give me one, give me one solid wall where you like, this is going to work. it is going to change racism in the metropolitan police, which is the police force that the overseas london go at. 1111 west and what other, what i'm going to give you one recommendation that we made. so one of the things that we seen where officers were routine the handcuffing individuals and i use hancock, there's a use of force and it has to be justified in law. it cannot be just customer practice to routinely slap cuts on young black men. but that's what we were seeing

. so we made a recommendation to the police. the need to address the need to address the guidance and the culture and practice that had become embedded. and the foster, the evidence that we see they've accepted that they've published their plan to address that through a new policy. now obviously the challenges for communities to see the change we work with others and assess them to deliver that change. the deputy mayor of london that focuses on policing and crime, we're working with hard to make sure that the recommendation we've paid it's actually implement. i'm not committed to see the change. so i, he, that i have the, the commitment in your voice and your efforts. i want to play something though, to you commit. this is christina dick. precedent take the commission out of the metropolitan police service. she's talking about stop and search in a way that made me squirm in my chair. and i'm wondering how many black and brown

people she has conversations with. that was my takeaway, have listened to her and then react immediately. let's take, the important thing is an eye for observers on the streets. most of the time the offices are extremely professional. they deal with it extremely well. they're on their body. one video, they explain themselves, they keep usually young people chatting and laughing and joking a lot of the time if that's appropriate and sending people away knowing why they've been stopped and searched. and in the main, i think understanding that and, and feeling feeling as, as good as they could. no, i just don't think she has an understanding at all. and you know, i think, you know, when some police officers don't wear the party warned for teaching my daughters case, the arrest the police officer didn't weigh the party one foot teach. and, and you know, when they talking to the youth in a friendly man,

that is to try and trick them to try and get information. i have them and this is the consensus of most, but brian people, there is no trust with the police a call and you know, she needs to be in the community. she needs to be speaking. can brian people and she needs to be listening to the words that come out of the nice and stop giving this service because that's all she's giving leave. i'm going to share this thought with you from you chief and then i'm going to go to a comment that takes us into a much broader area. because i know this is some of the work that you're doing, say, margaret is watching right now. margaret says it's discussing how you opinions don't want to say thought to the colonial history as impact. it's left on black lives to this day, all over europe and america, the police or racism, the u. k. this is margaret tate. i'm going to, i'm gonna add perhaps some people, some belief. does that seem fat and less generic? and then the bigger picture, the bigger story have a nice another look. the thing is not the answer to all of society sales,

and we know that we have policing around for centuries for system designed from colonial times, inherently racist because that's its origins. trying to change it and reform and in small steps work because the system itself is problematic and that's what needs to change the one sure fire way we can show that lack of asian and other minority ethnic people i left likely to explain police brutality is by putting in the kinds of social infrastructure and investment to make them less likely to come into the context of the police in the 1st place. this means youth provision, mental health institutions, community lead services for survivors of domestic violence and child abuse. strong, wednesday unions and trade unions. so people have better housing and more secure jobs. you. i am much with a problem than regulating overseeing the police

is that must have probably, and that's why i've been doing a lot of work on the no parliamentary commission on youth violence from 2016 to 2020. and in fact, in today's evening, stand to highlight in the fact that the mare and the police crime commission of the deputy met face of crime. sophie linden are not holding the commissioner to account and as a result, but these things are continuing. so we have a lot, i think the last speaker said adam on a very well he is actually highlighted the public health approach. we got to ensure that police only called to the certain areas where the data, but enforcement and ensuring that the dealing with the right people intelligence led and not into fishing expeditions because that's what upsets people. and then you got to ensure they're not going to dealing with issues with like mental health

because a lot of times police officers escalate everything. they're not deescalate. and especially when dealing with black men who may have a mental condition of one form or another. and so they treat them badly. and then i think the other thing is we need to understand that clearly police officers, it's not, it's not gonna solve all of public ills or society so it has to be done in partnership . so once we start to get that narrative, yes, please have a problem and they're going to be held to account a pre frying commission to doing it. and the i o p. c, a doing their work with through south. and i must admit the i b c as improve for it was 10 years ago. and i really want to make sure they do the things most camilla and sal. thank you so much for bringing a real personal face onto. can the u. k. police, can they get rid of racism in the police force? it is a complicated, complex conversation and you helped us have it youtube. oh thank you for your
