The numbers are far too small to draw any conclusions, if only 163 people have died in police custody in the past 10 years despite the millions of arrests police make does that imply there’s a deep problem? You also have to consider how these deaths occur, they are usually heart attacks from drug and alcohol abuse.

Like I’ve said, there is racism issues in this country but trying to angle it as police are killing black people is factually wrong, sludge can’t comprehend this
That isn't what the BBC article said that Llandaff Blue linked. It said the opposite. That black people are twice as likely to die in police custody as white people. There may be other factors involved (or maybe not), and the sample may be small (certainly compared to the USA) but your point is wrong if this is right:
