Black people were seven times more likely than white people to be stopped and searched by police last year, according to official figures.
Ministry of Justice data shows the gap was even wider than in 2005, when black people were six times more likely to be stopped than whites.

I think a senior police officer did say this sometime ago? I have to be careful not to mix my words here, but drug and shooting relating violence we see and read about always involves a ethnic person. |

Recent shootings in scouse land I believe did not involve ethnic minorities, unless being white and scouse is ethnic minority   |
