George Floyd murder | Clashes between US police and protestors

Sensible policing

Absolutely the right thing to do,the stupid question that should you have protected the statute? It is a statue of a slave trader ffs,what would rather of happened,the police get in a fight with them,they came with ropes etc,that statue was coming down,well done plods

If that's true I'd water cannon the fucking lot of them next time. Absolutely disgraceful.

The idiots don't seem to realise that they are actually encouraging negative feeling with the way they're acting. The majority of decent law abiding citizens are actually disgusted with the way they're behaving.
All lives matter...not just looters and anarchists with a different agenda.

If only they'd have gone for the Lenin statue instead.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I have. What was it?

It’s a ‘barm’, apparently.

In Bristol?

He has been fired and will likely be charged with 3rd degree murder.

He did it on camera not because he thought he would get away with it, he did it because he is a stone cold murderer who cared little for the consequence.

If you really believe he thought he would get away with it with a phone pointed in his face ‘because he was black’, well we shall just have to agree to disagree.

Your ignorance on the matter shines through again.

Ask what happened to the police officers who choked Eric Garner to death on camera while he begged for his life and said that he couldn't breathe?

Absolutely fuck all.

Anywhere bud, it'll be Churchill next, mark my words.

 

[Proy]

I have. What was it?

That this murder wasn’t race related.

Perhaps I should be clearer

6/10.

See me after class.

 

[purplenose]

I am sorry but I don't agree with you on this one,has there been any cases like this? Honest question due to my shit memory

Thinking about it has a black officer ever murdered a white man in these circumstances ? If there is what happened to him?

Dont get me wrong not for one minute would I suggest this killing was not racially motivated or that the blokes colour was irrelevant, clearly it was.

I am saying that America is a fucking lunatic asylum and that includes the cops, its also a huge place and i be there will be instances of every colour of cop dishing it out or shooting someone etc.

The guy that was responsible for defeating fascism? I’m not so sure about that.

That's a whole new level.

As long as you promise not to slap my legs bud.

There is no ignorance.

Black people are treated differently in America. I accept that. It’s a fundamental issue buried deep in the police force.

It needs sorting out.

They've already defaced it denouncing him as a racist, it's not a stretch to believe they'd try it.

If he was doing it because he is a stone cold killer then the other three officers would not have pinned down the rest of his body and just let him do it,none of the others on the scene would have let him either ,the person that took his pulse wouldn't have let him either,not one of them pushed him off because they are used to doing what they want to black and other ethnics with no come back

I promise you’ll be caned by the time we’ve finished.

I go back to my first post then which you must have missed: what special knowledge or insight do you have that leads you to this conclusion? What unique understanding of African-American culture or law enforcement in the US gives you an understanding of the issue at hand?

 

[mexico1970]

Sterling with an awful comment now too, just can't help themselves.

He's effectively said that this protest about what happened in the USA comes before peoples lives, disgraceful.

I was in the centre of bristol when all this happened, but was at the other side of the harbourside so didn't see it. On walking home we walked through castle park where the demo ended 10k people, but they was kind of in a bowl so couldn't hear what was going on.In the say 2 hours in the centre today, i only seen 2 cops who was chatting and laughing with locals.
Coming away from the park maybe 5 mins away was lot's of cops in riot vans and horses all on standby.I think the cops got it right there if needed but out of sight.
As for the statue it would have been taken down in time by the council, most people used to climb it at weekends and piss on it.

Harsh but ultimately fair bud.
