Abstract
This chapter situates racism in the United Kingdom and the United States by examining whether police are held accountable for murdering unarmed people of African descent. Through the use of critical race theory (CRT), the author provides evidence that the non-indictments of White police officers that murder unarmed Black people in the United Kingdom and the United States supports White supremacy, heightens Black people’s individual and communal distrust in the police, and threatens the stability of Black life. The author provides recommendations regarding what is needed to end racism as well as how people of African descent in the United Kingdom and the United States can support one another in the wake of police violence.
