You're right, this probably wouldn't have been news 3 months and that's where the problem lies. Black people have complained FOR YEARS about the treatment they receive at the hands of the Police but it has taken the death of a man for this to become mainstream news and force the Police force to look long and hard at some of the actions of a minority of officers. It needs to be highlighted and dealt with now so the Police can get on with what is a very hard job, professionally.
