George Floyd death: How many black people die in police custody in England and Wales?

between 1989/1990 and 2008/2009 found that:"a disproportionate number of people from BAME communities have died following the use of force".

It said that between 1990 and 2009, 16% of those who died after the use of force were black - more than twice the proportion arrested. But between 2009-10 and 2017-18, there was no ethnic breakdown on the use of force in custody-related deaths.17 involved the use of force by police officersThe IOPC says, of custody-related deaths overall, it does not"necessarily mean that the use of force contributed to the death". It says mental health or drug and alcohol problems are factors. In 2018-19, almost two-thirds of the custody-related deaths were directly linked to intoxication.

But the institutional structures that hold both countries together are not identical and many people will again be reflecting on the UK's own uncomfortable history. Rashan Charles, Sean Rigg, Roger Sylvester, Joy Gardner and Cynthia Jarrett are just a few names of people who died after coming into contact with police.

Not enough....

More black people get stopped and search as more are into crime than whites. More get arrested as they normally more likely to carry weapons or drugs on them. More blacks have force used against them as they are likely to resist arrest because they have drugs or weapons on them

... why are you trying to ignite the current situation with sensationalist poor journalism?

Bein in custody is not in arrest.

You seem to miss out some vital news lately no mention or showing of the protests in London or proper statistics of the uk on the news. Hiding really what’s going on a bit like your reporting of covid19 🙁

Ask Farage, he seems to know everything about ethnic minorities.

How many acts of violence by black protestors go unreported by the BBC ?

How many black kids stab each other?

Ashamed of the United Kingdom 😡 Ashamed of BBC News 😡 Angry with fighting protesters 😡 Angrier with the far left group 😡

How many non black people die in police custody too... keep the stats true

I would like BBC News to disappear. We need a new Public Service Broadcaster.

Fvck the BBC mediascum

That’s 23 blacks, because if your not white they regard themselves as black !

The media just want to bring the government down! They’ve never got over Brexit They tried the Brexit fear They tried the Virus fear They didn’t work So now it’s try the race card Shit media!

What a waste of tax money. Are you sure you are reporting from the UK? Have you not seen the disgraceful protests that took place today? The lack of respect and the criminal activities by these people?

Thanks BBC for trying to make a bad situation worse, how does this help. You may have blood on your hands

LOL bbc logic, when the figures don’t coincide with the agenda your trying to push, move the goal posts to make it look worse than what it is 😂 ScumMedia

Just count the black Asian Chinese Japanese native Americans whites and and any other clolour don't matter ALL LIVES MATTER

Don't know enlighten me

*'Peaceful' BLM thugs starts rioting in the UK* BBC:

Your twitter feed seems to be missing these

How many White people died, how many Chines, how many Asians, how many Hispanics? How come so many Black people seem to be unable to comply with the laws of our Country?

Ffs! - destroying our nation with this idiotic behaviour! Protest when keeping a distance yes but this is not on. What is the world coming too! This is not Britain! Wow......

Is there a disproportionate amount of Brits of African decent in prison. If there is, then your population percentage is irrelevant. Stop trying to start a race war with woke stats.

No one ever mentions the case of Christopher Alder. Shocking way to die.

These numbers include heart attacks, suicides, ingestion of drugs. It is a disgrace to try and make out their is some bigger issue at play.

BBC you’re corrupt

Where’s the social distancing in Hyde park today? When everyone has been in lockdown and obeying the rules?

How many people die regardless of colour?

So, over the last 10 years, a white individual who has been arrested was about 25% more likely to die in custody than a black individual who had been arrested

So it's just A day out to moan about nothing and get a second wave going glad none of you allowed on the Isle of Wight

Baaahaaa you cannot make this stuff up .... a notice to say keep two metre distance ... idiot!

10 death's of black men in custody In ten year, is extremely low and that dosent mean brutality, also no mention of 140 whites that's racist

How many people are going to die after the violent protest today? No social distancing and guess who’s in the middle of the mob. He needs to resign now.

However to fully analyse this you need to also state how many of each of your categories were detained otherwise it’s meaningless
