🧵This is horrific. The solution to our knife crisis has already been rolled out in Scotland. This blueprint does not rely on increased stop and search. The institutionally racist Met Police do not have our trust to do this with the intelligence led approach that’s needed. 1/3
We need to make knife violence a public health emergency. This violence is a disease and should be treated with urgent triage. We need to deal with the causes rather than the symptoms though. 2/3
@mikecmorgan As long as it's treated as "black on black" crime, "black culture," or any of those buzzwords, there won't be a solution. Politicians & commentators will rather use it to score culture war points.
@mikecmorgan Same demographic carry these knives every day. Bring back stop and search and you’ll be up in arms about it.
@mikecmorgan Look at your own community!!! That’s where it’s cleaned up!!! Blaming everything else don’t help! Blame the savages , the culture of young black males
@mikecmorgan I have a solution, but you're not gonna like it.
@mikecmorgan Or…we could just profile and stop & search. Then give mandatory 15 year sentence for carrying a knife.
