It’s been 15mths @libertyhq’s legal challenge. So what next? Hopefully no more disproportionate targeting of Black people (80% of ppl on the matrix = Black) and a more compassionate & a much less blinkered framework of identification bbc.com/news/uk-england-lond…#gangmatrix#metpolice
Lo stesso è successo in UK nel caso #GangMatrix: un'operazione della polizia contro le gang britanniche, principalmente composte da ragazzi bianchi, ma che ha portato al fermo principalmente ragazzi neri, precisamente il 78% dei fermi (5/)

We wait with anticipation @AREtweets_ film about the Gang Matrix!
Their work with @WipersYouth was just one aspect of their preparation for their film.
This charity is committed to making a change to black young people today.
Keep tuned for the film launch!

in 2019 @ICOnews found the @metpoliceuk guilty of breaking the #HumanRights of the vast majority of young black people whose name appeared in the racist database #GangMatrix They put them under special measures in 2019 - the @EHRC chose to ignore this fact! They're racist too >>>
"If you're Black, the police are 7 times more likely to stop & search you. How'd they feel if it was the other way around? @Harrydcjackson needs his flowers for his short film which shines a light on institutional police racism" - @mikewhoatv

65 signatories from human rights organisations, as well as musicians, lawyers and academics, call on the Metropolitan police to stop using repressive injunctions against musicians as a means to reduce 'gang violence'
It's 2022 lets get rid of #GangMatrixcrowdjustice.com/case/gangs-…
The #GangMatrix is a "tool" used by the police to stigmatise young Black men for things such as their musical taste, & what they post on social media.
The "tool" disproportionately targets Black people - and requires scant evidence for a person to be added, with little oversight
