Black Lives Matter and UFFC March against Police Brutality in the UK





United Family and Friends Campaign and Black Lives Matter UK have protested against police brutality in Trafalgar Square.

Black Lives Matter UK and the United Family and Friends Campaign (#UFFC) gathered in central London to march against the deaths and abuse of those in police custody in the UK.
Fighting for justice

The activist groups were joined by supporters as they called for an end to the deaths of people who are taken in by the authorities, immigration centres and psychiatric facilities.
The UFFC, who were established in 1997 and have been marching against this since 1999, commissioned a number of fake Home Office posters across London and Manchester in the lead up to today’s procession to gain awareness for the cause.
With the posters suggesting the police and immigration services have got away with the abuse and deaths of many in their custody, it was implied that the police officer featured in the poster was urging anyone reading it to not attend the demonstration.
Beginning their procession at midday in Trafalgar Square, UFFC and BLM UKended their “silent procession” outside Downing Street with what they described as a “noisy” protest.




The rise of BLM UK

The increased knowledge of those who die at the hands of the police has been brought to the forefront in recent years through the movement in America. The deaths of African American citizens as a result of police interaction sparked a reaction in the UK, and earlier this year, BLM UK was formed and there were a number of protests in this country in support of those here and in America.




The history of the UFFC

According to the UFFC website, some of the campaigners’ goals are to see officers suspended until custody deaths are fully investigated, police forces to be held accountable for the communities they serve, and police officers to face criminal charges if they are found to be responsible for the death of someone in custody.
With this being the 18th year of the UFFC’s annual rally, the campaign which started off focusing on the disproportionate number of BAME people being killed in police custody, has now grown to include those of all races who have been affected by the problem. #Black Lives Matter UK #Police Brutality

It sure doesn't seem like it. You're the one getting worked up about Black Lives Mattering and all that. Good night


Do i? Hmm trolls dont usually bother me.
Good night hunny xxx
In other news the sun set a few hours ago.

The entire point of existence for SJWs is to invent grievances and protest them, not uncommonly violently, rather than finding genuine problems and trying to help resolve them.

Evidence of their unemployment?
Or is this you displaying your prejudices?
Shouldn't it be black AMERICAN lives matter as they don't seem to care about everywhere else.

Was reading earlier about this black guy basically blaming everything in his life he could interpret as racism as actual racism.

More black people in jails? He thought that is racism rather than maybe thats because theres more black crime (and this is just the UK he was talking about, when in America theres more black on black crime than white on black)

Black criminals get longer sentences, well he didn't take into account what crimes were being commited, where they were commited etc.

Then things that were outright paranoia, like he "notices" people cross the street when they see him or are uncomfortable around him, thus its racism.(when you see pictures of him and he looks like a gangsta stereotype)

Then things like hes been randomly searched so it must be because hes black.

Um im from a council estate, I was stopped and randomly searched many times, I was treated as guilty until proven innocent just for being on a council estate.

So it was nothing to do with colour and in fact the surroundings he was in.

Well looking at the unemployment for blacks in the UK it wouldn't shock me LOL

The smart economically productive blacks have not got the time for all the victim mentality bull$hit. Why try and get freebies off the government when you can earn more by thriving in the free-market?

I'm white from a single parent home in one of the most impoverished towns in the UK. The amount of times I was interrogated and searched by police simply on account of looking "shifty" is enough to make anyone develop a deep animosity towards the police. Incredulously I don't have that and actually have profound respect for what most officers do in the nature of their job, granted I have a strong disdain for the sanctimonious arrogant ones I encountered, but I suppose that can be attributed through years of dealing with uncooperative teenagers.

Ever since I started wearing an Armani suit everywhere I go I haven't incurred the suspicion of any police. It's really not that difficult

Generally protestors are normally whiney intolerable people from the bottom of society. Doesn't matter what ethnicity. Yeah sure they might have their *****y menial jobs that sustain their weed supply and booze but they are still parasites

Then you have your champagne socialists like Lily Allen and Colin Kaepernick who are a tier worse. They are not virtur signalling to accredit their celebrity status. Devoid of all integrity

Huh? They were specifically demonstrating against UK victims. Did you read before commenting?

And clearly everyone here lacks basic comprehension skills as the article clearly says they demonstrate for people f ALL RACES - yup, white people too! - who are affected by police brutality.

The organisation protesting just happens to be BLM but theyre fighting for anyone affected.

Okay. I'll remember that when i think of the suffragettes or anyone who campaigns for gay equality rights.

Oh you know NUS campaigned against the scrapping of maintenance grants and the rise of uni fees.

But don't complain right???

Silly people. Bottom of society university goers. Wanting rights and ****. Why can't they just work in mcdonalds, shut up and be happy??!!

No they're not.

Payback lmfao. You do realise the status quo is unsustainable. Look at the IQ gap between blacks and whites, blacks in their present state are clearly incapable of running civilisations. If they want payback why don't they get it on the perpetrators of the Arab slave trade or in Latin America were 90% of enslaved blacks were sent to from the European slave trade? The consequences of this have been dire, in Brazil you have 100 million blacks living in near intractable poverty, where they are not afforded affirmative action or government handouts. They live in favelas where police are free to shoot black people with impunity because they don't have rule of law like they do in the West. Trust me in Brazil the police kill blacks at a much higher rate then they do in the US. I'm willing to concede that police brutality does occur in the US, and that is unfortunate but when you have a nation of 300+ million people with 1+ million police officers it's almost inevitable, that's why we have laws to punish extea judicial killings and we vet to ensure we are hiring the right people. Police have a stressful enough job as it is without whiney little brats with zero life experience being on their case.


If you really cared black lives you'd be protesting about the state of blacks in Brazil or the treatment of the "abeed" in the Arab world. Consider this Mauritania an African country didn't even ban slavery unti
