Nick Selby looks at use of force statistics from the Metropolitan Police in the UK, and the episode starts with a segment about use of force statistics in Minneapolis. This year, of 911 calls to Minneapolis PD for domestic abuse in progress in which force was used, 57 suspects (63%) were black. That's not police selection bias - these were 911 calls. This helps us look at the results in context. But in the UK, the data provided at the direction of the Home Office by authorities is insufficient for any serious researcher to conclude anything about race and policing, or even about use of force in general. There’s data, but it is so incomplete as to mean you can’t draw from it any racial equity conclusions.
