Black people are seven times more likely to die than white people after being restrained by the police, new figures show.
The charity Inquest, which helps families who have lost a loved one after contact with police, conducted the new analysis of official data to produce the shocking figure.
In a report called I Can’t Breathe: Race, Death and British Policing Inquest said the British system for investigating deaths after police contact fails black families and ignores racism as a potential factor.
