Comments by "Mack Starr" (@stonehengemaca) on "Met Police strip-searched 650 children in two years, figures show" video.

  1. So 50% of the time a child, after needing to be strip searched, is found to be hiding drugs in a school?! 58% of those were black boys?! And the problem is racism?! Wtf?

  2. ​ @random6809  Please tell me which POLICING AREA only has 19% of the population as black and yet 75% of strip searches are against blacks. I have a sneaky suspicion that you are using the whole of the UK to say 19% and then looking at figures from largely black areas to find the 75% 🤷‍♂ My figures come from the video I'm commenting on. So are you saying those figures aren't correct?

  3.  @random6809  Struggling to find that data. Can you link that source please?

  4.  @random6809  The figures used to calculate the number of searches per 1000 use the 2011 census data. The percentage of black people has vastly increased by 34% from 2011 to 2018 and has only increased since then so that isn't at all accurate.

  5.  @random6809  I can only find "stop and search" data and not "strip search" data from the met.

  6.  @random6809  Maybe you could supply a link to where you are seeing these figures. The only met data I can find is based on stop and search and doesn't go into age, only ethnicity and is based on 2011 data. Please help.

  7.  @random6809  If not a link then the title of the data set. Typing in what you said comes up with articles and not data.
