Why didn't they lobby parliment in the form a march on downing street about police harrasment in Toxteth?
Do you have any evidence for this? I've not seen any.
As for marches, I don't think many people of any colour still believe they achieve much, unless they can call on very large numbers, which would have been unlikely in this case.
Mrs. Simey, as Chairman of the Police Authority and very articulate woman, did her best to curb the racist behaviour of the force, but was up against it when faced with Kenneth Oxford, the Chief Constable, making statements to the media endorsing the actions of his force that would now be seen as racist in themselves.
