If the problem is with White police, then how come in "Black" countries, eg Jamaica, the figures are not exactly low. In this recent incident, 2 of the officers were not White(J Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao). Around twice as many White people as Black people, are shot and killed by Police in the US. Although there is a number classified as "unknown".
It's all about how you behave when cornered or under arrest. Most of us wouldn't face problems, as we were being arrested, because we recognise the futility of resisting and struggling. Not being under the influence of drink and/or drugs also help with that.
Anyone remember the Darcus Howe documentary, "Who you calling a ...".

And a good place to start would be to accept that WE don't decide that BLM is about exactly the same issues in the UK as it is in the US.

Certain people are going on about absolute drivel of, "Oh, it's not safe out there", and "We have a pandemic of black people dying every day", when all that is actually at the hands of black people.
