Police don't think they are there to enforce the law. They think they are the law.

Above the rank of sergeant, they are part of the government spin machine.

Both Bristol City Council and Avon and Somerset police were institutionally racist for years in the way they dealt with a man beaten to death by a neighbour, a shock report has revealed.

The Safer Bristol Partnership found a ‘collective failure’ by both the police and council in the case of Bijan Ebrahimi, who was murdered in July 2013.

A report by the Independent Police Complaints Commission earlier this year detailed the collective failings in the case by the police.

Now, this new report by the Safer Bristol Partnership has looked at how council housing officers, as well as the police, handled his case.

It found the council collectively and repeatedly sided with the people abusing and harassing Mr Ebrahimi, who was murdered in his home in Brislington four and a half years ago.
