Mother of teenager killed in racist attack in 1993 says police in London ‘able to be as brutal as they want’
Black people are still not seen as deserving justice, while police officers in the UK’s capital are able to act with near-impunity, Doreen Lawrence has said, as the 30th anniversary of the racist murder of her son approaches.
Stephen Lawrence was killed in a racist attack by a gang at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London, in 1993. Two men were convicted of the murder in 2012 but others remain free.
