Did you double flush?

I dont know the stats either and I do think people in general do feel less safe. I do wonder whether thats down to the reality of things or down to the way parts of the media and certain political figures are stirring the pot. I think its in their interests to make things to be worse than they...

Dont know his past history. But unless you're suggesting he deserved being stood on until he stopped breathing I'm not sure what the relevance is.

IIRC, that wasnt going to happen and thats why it kicked off. Arresting and charging him was one of the reasons things died down.

Unless yu believe having a criminal history makes someone deserving of having his neck stood on, I'm not sure I've missed anything.

I did. You ignored most of it. We dont know why the victims claims were dismissed. You've made a presumption based on your biases. That will be determined by an investigation.

If you cant see just how different the two situations are thats up to you. I don't think its particularly relevant to this situation, although the usual auspects are trying desperately hard to make it so. I do the community is right to demand and expect police accountability.

Theres quite a few key differences between George Floyd and Henry Nowak. 1 - George Floyds death was directly caused by police actions, at this stage that doesnt appear to be the case. 2 - People werent protesting the death of George Floyd, they were protesting decades of oppression, violence...

No. But I'm sure the footage will be examined as part of the investigation. And that together with other evidence will allow for a much more complete and accurate assessment of what happened without the need for people bringing out the pitchforks and protest outside police stations. I'm not...

Then the investigation should be able to establish that and the appropriate actions be taken.

I dont have an issue and I've not said the police action is wrong or right.

My thoughts are that the authorities should carry out an investigation and take appropriate action as a result of that investigation. Until that happens everyone needs to calm down a bit. Particularly those that seem to be relishing stirring the pot. Watching a video, or not watching a video...

I havent watched the video. The reasons why the police took the actions they did will form part of the investigation. This is the right way to go about it.

I dont know.

Guessing again.
