But, being aware ofc is not the same as being right.

This film is laughable in how it paints the police as evil monsters, and that's from me that doesn't like the police much. But here it is clearly done to a purpose.. It's propaganda.

The reason there is a disparity in stop and search is based on evident trends and events... Some groups are just over represented and therefore it makes sense to target them more when trying to prevent crime.

Honestly, come to St Pauls here in Bristol and I can show you what I mean.

…the thing is for me when I came across the article and then looked up the vid…?…is that the Avon and Somerset police force had admitted at that time that it had “much more work to do” and had declared itself to be “institutionally racist”…so the video was in many ways, if not all ways to present an aspect of looking at ‘two sides of a community’ that needed work to bring together…Teja, was approached to take part, having friends who had been impacted so she was just part of presenting that and that perspective…I don’t see that as presenting itself as being right…I see it more as conversations open up and situations open up to be looked at by presenting all sides and all perspectives, that’s what creates understandings …(…for any who are open to understandings …)….
