Does the UK have two tier justice against white people?

A recent incident in Birmingham on 21 June 2026, where a white man was arrested after being assaulted by several black men, has gone viral with footage showing police detaining the victim while the attackers fled. West Midlands Police defended the officers' actions and initially asked people to stop sharing the video, prompting accusations of two-tier policing. Critics, including Reform UK figures, link this to race action plans that allegedly discourage over-policing of minorities, while similar claims arose after 2024 riots where sentencing appeared stricter for white protesters than some minority groups.
