Continued police profiling and harassment of Blacks throughout the 1980s culminated in the infamous case of Stephen Lawrence, the son of Jamaican parents who was brutally murdered in April 1993 by white
youths in a racially motivated attack. The incident and bungled trial of
the offenders led to the MacPherson Inquiry, which produced a scathing
report in 1999 pointing to many of Scarman’s unimplemented reform
suggestions and reciting the litany of police errors, from failing to provide Lawrence with first aid on the scene to failing to investigate suspects. Its most damning finding was that institutional racism exists both in the Metropolitan Police Service and in other Police Services
and other institutions countrywide,” and it made seventy recommen-
dations for improvement. While some inroads of change were subsequently made, they proved insuficient. Institutions like the police, are not hermetically sealed
from the nation’s broader racial attitudies and the state’s self-protection
against perceived existential threats; rather they are epiphenomena of them. Brutal police tactics, including the controversial death of Rashan
Charles in 2017, and the routine stopping and searching of Blacks at a
nineteen times that for whites, have not changed much since Lawence’s murder. “The Met police today looks and feels as racist as was the Macpherson [‘s report],” Leroy Logan, former superintendent in
Metropolitan Police and chair of the Britain’s Black Police Association, wrote in October 2020.

Most recently, an undercover report unveil once again the British culture of fascism among police forces remains prevalent.
Remember also the case of Sarah Everard at the height of the Covid Pandemic.
In the wake of Sarah Everard’s murder by PC Wayne Couzens, a report said the Met was “institutionally racist, misogynist and homophobic”. But Sir Mark has refused to accept this.
The new allegations come on the third anniversary of Sir Mark replacing Dame Cressida Dick [who had resigned because of Police gross misconduct findings] with a mandate to address deep concerns over the Met’s culture.
If Sir Mark had some decency, he would have resigned by now.
Instead, he is in denial.

The British empire will never change and will never abstain from fascist tendencies as this nation is built on fascism, exploitation, colonialism, massacres, genocides and famine, and starvation by disgn.
