More than 100 relatives of people who have died after contact with the police in the UK since 1971 have joined plans for a class action lawsuit in pursuit of compensation and justice. The plan for group legal action was announced at the People’s Tribunal on Police Killings, a two-day event in which bereaved families presented evidence to a panel of international experts on how their relatives died and the long-term impact this has had on them.
Great idea, can we, the law abiding section of society, take one of these out against all the BLM-type fakecharities and activists out there arguing that ethnic monoritires shouldn't be held accountable for their actions?
The findings and conclusions of the event will form the basis of a first-of-its-kind legal action directed at police officers, police chiefs and government departments involved in the deaths. Activist and film-maker Ken Fero, who is helping to lead the action, said: “I think it’s quite revolutionary what we’re trying to do. There has never been a class action of this kind done in the UK before, there hasn’t been a call-up like this one before.
Ken Fero, as expected, is whiter than I am...
Samantha Patterson, whose brother Jason McPherson died in 2007 after being stopped and searched by police, said: “We’ve explored all avenues. We’ve done campaigns. We’ve written letters. We’ve met with prime ministers, Home Office secretaries, everybody that you would think. Something needs to change.
Indeed! Families whose family member has concealed drugs from a police search then swallowed them while in custody shouldn't be able to whinge and whine that the inevitable death from such action is somehow the fault of the police.
The tribunal was organised by a collective of campaign groups, including United Families and Friends Campaign, Migrant Media and 4WardEverUK, with the aim of “exposing the extent of the injustice” and placing it on the international stage. It also aimed to highlight the disproportionate impact of police killings on black people, and key themes explored included torture, terror, state cover-ups and black resistance.
'Resistance' to what, exactly?
