To: the UK government

Stop the sale of bullets, tear gas and shield to US police

Suspend the sale of rubber bullets, tear gas and riot shields from UK firms to the US police forces. Condemn the police brutality and violence in against peaceful protesters and the response of the president and the state to those protesting the murder of George Floyd. Investigate whether weapons sold by the UK have been used in police abuses in the US.

Why is this important?

Black Lives Matter

UK manufacturers are complicit in the violence towards Americans involved in protests in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. By law, the UK government should be obligated to "freeze" the export of "all policing and security equipment" to the US where it could be misused and yet has failed to act or even to condemn police brutality in the US.
