This week we look at the Black communities relationship with the police. In a week where two police officers plead guilty of misfeasance in public office after photographing the bodies of two Black sisters, #NicoleSmallman and #BibaaHenry after they had been brutally murdered. We ask if the #SarahEverard case and the current public mood concerning the police could have a 'trickle down' effect meaning the Black community may start to get justice 'by proxy.'
After the Steve Mc Queen documentary #Uprising was aired earlier in the year, it was revealed that a double murderer called #MichaelSmithyman had confessed to starting the fire and the police swept it under the rug. We ask why Black lives seem to matter so little to the authorities.
We also discuss the African-Caribbean divide and ask when jokes on the subject are just not funny.
