Half of black British police suffer racial incidents from colleagues, survey finds

Officers polled about experiences of bullying, discrimination and micro-aggressions in past year

More than half of Britain’s black police officers and staff suffered racial incidents from colleagues in the past year, a survey has found.

Those affected were much more likely to feel like outsiders and to want to leave, and many believed their bosses failed to punish wrongdoers, in effect creating a culture of impunity.
