Episode notes
Legal Gap Enabled Police Bias
- Police were legally exempt from the Race Relations Act until 1999, allowing unchecked discrimination.
- That legal gap shaped policing culture and responses to crimes against people of colour.
Attack At The Bus Stop
- Stephen and Duane were attacked waiting for a bus and Stephen collapsed after about 200 yards.
- Duane repeatedly tried to get help while Stephen bled to death on the pavement.
Family Treated As Suspect
- Family liaison officers interrogated the Lawrence family about gloves and criminality instead of supporting them.
- Police treated Stephen as if he belonged to the criminal underworld rather than prioritising his killers' arrest.
