TL;DR Summary

The Casey Review has found evidence of continuing systemic racism in the UK's biggest police force, the Metropolitan Police, against both staff and the public. The report comes 24 years after the Macpherson Report, which exposed institutional racism in the Met after the racially-motivated killing of Stephen Lawrence. The Casey Review found black Londoners remained "over-policed and under-protected", and said those from an ethnic minority background were more likely to be stopped and searched, handcuffed, batoned and Tasered, creating a situation where trust and consent have been eroded. The report also found widespread evidence of homophobia and misogyny within the Met.
