Lethal violence is rarer, because UK police tend not to carry guns and are trained in de-escalation and to only use guns as a last resort.

It does happen though, and it disproportionately happens to black people. https://twitter.com/korrinesky/status/1267085008210210816?s=...

Moving away from law enforcement to mental health treatment we see black people are more likely to be detained under the mental health act, spend longer in detention, are more likely to be on CTOs, are more likely to be on forensic sections. In hospital they're more likely to be subjected to seclusion, restraint, and rapid tranquillisation.
