Good stat, and that does show a disparity. If the arrest rate for Black was high and conviction rate high, that would suggest the arrest rate is justified.
But as it is the conviction rate is lower than for white, which suggests the arrest rate per 1000 is possibly disproportionately high?

Black U.K. citizens are not in fear of their life from the U.K. police.
They may be pissed off with Thevpolice, and feel oppressed, targeted even. But their “lives” are not In danger. Therefore there is no correlation with USA movement. It is not valid
Their lives are more in danger from others in their community, they should protest about that.
