For example back in 2020, in Minneapolis: George Floyd was killed by a white cop which sparked a worldwide protest regarding the BLM movement. That was a high profile one. However, before that: there are cases of "black kid gets shot for holding toy gun" or anything equivalent.

No. They face a whole other bag of different types of incidents with the UK's institutionally racist police forces.

They're generally not shot at or murdered by the police. Generally.
