So nobodys 'burying their heads in the sand' or worried about being seen as 'a racist' then, as per your original post?

Are you arguing for the sake of it?

To be clear
For me jail them......that’s my opinion

They ‘the government’ are burying their heads and don’t want to be called racist

He's urging people to stay at home and not protest in London this weekend.

first sensible thing I have heard him say in months.

as much as this is to do with social distancing I suspect its also a fear of what may kick off and the ability or inability of the Police to do anything

Actually it was because of the murder of George Floyd by the police. The clue is in the thread title.

That’s not what we are talking about is it? The carnage after the incident as stated above has only brought about the removal of a flag. It has created more divide and will set back any progress made no matter how big or small in years.

A lot have already said that the stresses of lockdown/COVID coupled with a likely violent protest has the potential to bring us the riots like in 2011.

I really feel for the police because they don't stand a chance if it does kick off, there is no government at the moment and the police are an unfortunate target for both sides.

Does it even matter that they aren’t official and have no head office? They’re a movement with extremist views and it often turns out that public unrest at protests are often caused by anarchists like those who have an Antifa symbol as their social media avatar.

That's why they're so dangerous to any government or society because there is no head office or head spokesperson. I mean who accountable for their actions. Who can we point to and blame. Know one because they don't exist. Communist world order backed by so called elitist.

I always maintained that the govt got away with things in lockdown because the weather was so good people could sit in the back garden, have a beer and watch the kids play in the paddling pool. The rank weather has coincided with the George Floyd murder and the BLM protests - it was never going to end well.

As for the Police. If you spend 10 years hollowing them out then as a Govt you will fear their lack of resources being exposed.

This officer is having his investigation finalised shortly.

This was shot in April...





What a joke!

But it wasn't a fight - it was an assault - a fight would be the civilian turning to face the cop and swinging punches too - the Police in the states are out of control and for the most part recruiting the wrong sort of people.
