the term your missing is disproportionate.

12% of the country are black. 72% are white.

at an even ratio break down that’s 54 black to 19 white.

Ok cheers

But from an apology point of view, one has nothing to do with the other and so there is no need for reparation.

The police in the US are not murdering black people because they believe in the ideologies of the slave trade.

It is happening because of a completely wrong cultural stereotype about black people helped by the unfortunate fact that in the US the bad guys of any colour often carry guns.

Is there any other country in the so called Western world with a gun culture like America?

Im not saying I agree or disagree with anyone in particular in today’s debate about slavery and the roots of racism, but I honestly don’t think America will solve their problems with large portions of certain communities tooled up, so to speak.
I absolutely could not live in a society where gun ownership is seen as a right and it is so easy to get one.

I firmly believe it bears a sizeable portion of the blame for much of their societal problems.

They may as well top themselves, especially the one who knelt on the guys neck. He's looking at a minimum 40 years I reckon.

I thought the charge carried a 25 year maximum sentence.

Mentioned in Genesis right ? I forgot about the Phil Collins era

It’s in my top 100 eras of all time.

No they upgraded the charge for the man who knelt on his neck, carries a 40 year sentence.

So gross

So gross

He absolutely does not grope her. His arm does not move. Hers does. Watch it properly. He is trying to bend her forward

 

[I'm With Stupid]

New York police spend $230m a year just settling misconduct lawsuits. The reality is that they just do what they want knowing the taxpayer will cover the cost of their mistakes. Lawsuits are not the answer, sackings are.

So gross

Beating up a woman eh,must have a small dick

He isnt beating her up is he? He was restraining her, for what we dont know or rightly or wrongly we dont know either as the clip starts there. But he is not groping her, clearly. People have read the tweet saying he does and then watched the clip and decided its right. That is not what it shows

The original tweet said she was groped and that is why she pulled away. That isnt so.

In the process of restraining her he clearly puts his hands on her breasts. Whether or not that was intentional only he knows, but her reaction was understandable. The subsequent police response was totally disproportionate and unnecessary.

Agree with the last part entirely, but he did not grope her.
