By them not recieving a caution or being sent to court, ie were arrested on a charge which wasn't valid, such as an old man calling out "rubbish" doing a politicians speach being arrested under anti-terrorism laws.
The police record how many arrests were made, how many were released without further action, how many were cautioned, how many were referred to the courts.
It's not rocket science to see that if the police are arresting and releasing 30% of blacks arrested compared with 5% of any other group, then they are targetting blacks, and this should be investigated to find out why, for various reasons such as why is so much police time and money being wasted arresting people who shouldn't have been arrested?
