It’s important that the experiences Black people go through are highlighted and amplified beyond the statistics and it’s great to see Jermaine Jenas listen to those voices
Channel 4 Dispatches Jermaine Jenas This is so shocking but not surprising. Working with young people I always encouraged them to know their rights, to ensure that all stop and searches are recorded by the police, but it shouldn't be this way. thecornersheffield.com/stopandsearch.… The Y-Stop app is awesome too.
And police rely heavily on low numbers of complaints when justifying high rates of stop and search. I have tackled this problem in City Hall and urge more people to at least get their complaints on record. Through third parties like Y-Stop if concerned. sianberry.london/news/safety/mo…
