Human rights lawyer Michael Mansfield dropped the N-word live on Sky News today as he was brought on to speak about "institutional racism" within the police force.
The English barrister, who has represented the Lawrence family since 1993, recently appeared in a documentary about Stephen's murder 25 years ago.
The 18-year-old schoolboy was stabbed to death at a bus stop by a group of white youths in an unprovoked attack.
The Lawrence family's long struggle for justice exposed institutional racism and corruption within the Metropolitan Police.
Referring to the Archbishop of York's recent comments that the police force is still institutionally racist, Sky News presenter Sarah Jane-Mee asked whether Mansfield thought he was right.
