Why this petition matters

Started by Pippa Krishnan
The window of Ryan Colaço’s car was smashed, after he was wrongly accused of hiding drugs. He was driving home from a TV interview in which he told of institutional racism in the police.
He was even stopped by police on the walk to collect his car. The police didn't clean up the glass and wont pay to fix his car.
No drugs have been found any of the multiple times Ryan has been searched. He shouldn't have to suffer this just because he is black and drives a BMW. At the very least the police should reimburse him the cost of fixing his car.
More details and a video of the assault on Ryan are here: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jul/04/police-smash-car-window-ryan-colaco-tv-interview-racism
