An inflammatory picture for all the wrong reasons.

Clearly the angle works nicely for controversy.

The sad thing is that it is things like this that will stir things up even more. What those Police officers (Cowards and bullies in this instance) did was beyond belief, I have no real idea whether it was a racist incident or whether it just happened to be a black guy. At the end of the day there has been plenty on this forum who have witnessed Police brutality and thuggery within or close to the two most recent homes of Manchester City. Only by the grace of god has someone not died at the hands of the police over the last 4 decades at our own football ground.

What is going on in the States cannot be justified though, it is costing more lives and that is not going to help anyone.

Equally I think those on the streets of London potentially risking causing more issues with Covid should be ashamed, after all what happens in America is Americas problem and for those people to go out and risk the lives of innocent people of all colours in this country is a disgrace and each and every one of them should be tracked down and prosecuted.

You're right and you're wrong on your points.

These are multifaceted feelings coming to the fore, here and in the States. It's about taking yourself out of the moment and seeing more than what you're told. You mention the brutality of police at football matches? You can relate to the protesters in the US; the police become energised with power of violence under the protection of the law.

The solidarity shown in places like London are multilayered, but the MSM make it JUST about the death of Mr George, when this is not true. People are taking the opportunity to voice their disapproval on the current system, whether that's an economic oppression or whatever it is, both in the States and here.

The lines have become muddied now.
 
My instagram is all Blackout Tuesday with black blank pictures...are any football clubs taking part?

I seen all the liverpool stuff yesterday and United have a HAT-RED charity thing.

City havent said a word...?

Plus other organisations have spoke out including playstation cancelling their launch of the 5 this week.

Very fair points mate.
 
this really is looking very messy at the moment. Blackhawks doing low flyby's over crowds, one report saying was so low it broke a branch off a tree which injured 4 people.

Far right groups creating fake Antifa twitter accounts to enticing violence.

Far right groups actively on the ground dressed as Antifa enticing violence.

Just a brief glance at this photo and it is obvious that the cop with the baton gun is looking past the man with the child on his shoulders.
"The eyes have it".
And he is NOT pointing the gun at them.

I’m surprised more people haven’t been killed, with the proliferation of firearms, how people aren’t defending themselves with them I don’t know, if I had a gun and they were beating my wife they’d be all dead now, self defence I believe it’s called.

lmao piss off with your conspiracies, Antifa are no angels most of them are malnourished middle class white kids who are sly as fuck when in a crowd.

Trying to blame another group for the violence, the far right will be in the countryside armed to their teeth itching for any mob to roll up on them.

Point 1) Those are the reports im reading from quite main stream sources.

Point 2) I never claimed Antifa were not doing these things too.

Also There is video footage of the helicopters, although not seen video of a blackhawk just of other military ones. howewver there are Blackhawks based there and have been for a while ( sorry for the DM link )

Even that cringe Anonymous account on twitter with 5 mil followers is saying to stop believing other groups have taken over the protests, it's a part of discrediting the message.

Far left groups are horrible around public disorder they pretend to be good people but in truth just like hurting others the protest itself is a side issue to them.
