Ethnic And Communities Of The West Indian Standing Council
previous four days demonstrations and looting, out of 118 arrested, more than half were black. According to Lord Scarman, appointed to chair the public inquiry into this riot, he calls them an ââ¬Ëout bust of anger and resentmentââ¬â¢ by young black people against the police (Calvin, 2016).
