This is so heartbreaking; He's just a kid. The pain in his voice is evident.
This is institutional racism in action.
Daryl McLune, 16 at the time, was arrested in Wandsworth in July 2021 on suspicion of attempted murder after his mum, Annette McLune, jumped from the roof of their flat in a suicide attempt.
He'd been at his grandma's and cycled home to find his mum critically injured. He was then handcuffed in the street and held for nearly 24 hours, despite not being involved.
Police later found a suicide note and razor blades showing it was self-harm, and he was released without charge. The experience left him with PTSD and affected his schooling.
He later sued the Met Police, and a jury found he was racially discriminated against and treated less fairly than a non-Black boy would have been, awarding him £130,000.
His barrister said it wasn't careful policing, it was a child in crisis being wrongly treated as a suspect, and that discrimination can be unconscious.
Black youth are in danger. We’ve witnessed:
- A 1 year old shot and killed over diapers
-A 14 year old shot and killed over a bottle of water
- An 18 year old thrown in the system for defending himself…
i think it’s rigged and i think producers already have their favorite couple picked out to win
genuinely don’t see a point in voting cus melanie and rue are about to win this season unfortunately
@theintercept thing is.. even if it had been the RIGHT man, execution without trial should NOT be in their scope, right? Why are we giving the absolute worst among us the power to kill at whim?
Best way to support baby Kohen Wiley's family is by offering mutual aid and supporting initiatives to abolish police. His family has asked us all to stop circulating his image. It's not ours to share & this poor family is grieving an immeasurable loss. May they be comforted.
A 17-year-old Black student, Darryl George, was repeatedly disciplined and suspended at Barbers Hill ISD in Texas, all for wearing his locs. The school claimed it violated their dress code.
After a nearly two-year legal battle, on July 24, 2025, a federal judge ruled in favor of the district, permanently dismissing the case and preventing Darryl from refiling.
They really out here criminalizing our natural hair. This one hurts, but Darryl’s fight brought national attention to the issue. Keep your crown up, king. 🙏🏽
TRIGGER WARNING: Several Atlanta police officers shoved, kicked & tased a young Black man. It’s disgusting to see Black officers doing the job of white supremacy. Please find this young man & release the names of these overzealous cops!! #DefundThePolice#ACAB@Atlanta_Police
I am outraged and heartbroken. Precious one-year-old Kohen Wiley was murdered by police. I am holding the family and community in my prayers, and I stand with those demanding justice and accountability. The police violence terrorizing our communities must end. https://t.co/QhbrHsR3wm
Four missing hours, The footage behind an alleged custody rape!
Andy Burnham has been accused of failing to hold “predatory” police officers to account over a woman’s alleged rape in custody.
Zayna Iman, who waived her right to anonymity in an attempt to bring the alleged perpetrators at Greater Manchester Police (GMP) to justice, told The Telegraph she felt Mr Burnham had let her down after saying he would help her.

Remember Former Houston Police Department Officer Ashley Gonzalez because she used multiple racial slurs and boasted about targeting Black individuals on 911 calls. She is not the only Hispanic female cop with racist anti-black sentiments
