In the London Borough of Hackney, in the early hours of 22 July 2017, a police officer pursued a young black man into a convenience store. Within minutes the young man was dead.
His name was Rashan Charles. He was 20 years old, the eldest of seven children, a father himself, his daughter nearly two years old.
We’re not allowed to know the police officer’s name. We can say that he was a member of the Metropolitan Police Service’s highly trained Territorial Support Group.
