Today's shooting in America thread

[FantasyIreland]

Watching it on NBC News....
1st talking head says this is the first time it has been black cops on black victim.
2nd talking head turns it around and comments on how quickly the black cops were suspended / charged compared to when it is white cops.

Fucking needy,antagonistic and racist ****.

(Not you x)

Errr, what's happening now?
Lots of people with their knickers in a twist...
A person I recognize got killed this morning in a head on vehicle collision, poor fucker just driving to hs next delivery and some **** decided to overtake others on a blind corner

 

[Keeper!]

Why should race even enter the equation? he was a person.....thats all that matters and anything more is unnecessary divisive bollocks.

100% true but sadly the fact that the police responsible were black may well calm things.

But regardless, what a cesspit America has become, the leader of the free world my arse, a broken, horrible country.

Don’t know if this Memphis cop stuff needs a thread of its own ….but can someone explain to me why the footage is going to be uploaded when it’s allegedly so abhorrent ?

Money and lawsuits I would imagine.

Tyre Nichols beaten to death by 5 cops.
It's not been a Goodyear so far

You won't be welcome in a Michelin star restaurant after that comment.

Great country to visit for its scenery and short but interesting history.

Would I want to live there - no bloody way.

Population of 285 in Arkabutla at the last count. With 22.3% of the US population being under the age of 18 that means one gunman has managed single handedly to kill 2.71% of the adult population in that town.

If that percentage was applied to the whole of the US he could have killed nearly 7 miliion people.

What a crazy perspective I never thought to consider. You can even apply these to school shootings and measure the percentage of the student body killed.

Strange country where there are more guns than people, and they cling to an antiquated amendment to their constitution.

If god didn't want guns in America then why did he say it in the Bible?
