George Floyd murder | Clashes between US police and protestors

[kaz7]

He’s had an escort as they need to be there to keep the peace. As for getting personal I guess you don’t do irony then. you also were talking about him being a criminal previously, something which no matter what he’s done previously or even was doing at the time of arrest warranted being murdered in cold blood on the streets by those who are there to protect and serve not act as judge, jury and fucking executioner.

I did not say that the fact he was an armed robber that he deserved what happened,i was very clear that was not the case,nobody deserved to be murdered in the street by a cop in a clearly racial hatred way or any other way,the American police have some real scum amongst them

My post was about me feeling uncomfortable about the police escort as was it was discussed on CNN as a respect thing not as in crowd control,the police don't respect criminals of any colour,some of those police will have beaten up black people because they are black,it snacks of a photo op kind of thing to me,complete hypocritical shit,false

Dom laboured the point of me saying he was a criminal in my first post,that was the only thing he wanted to focus on to argue and ignoring what I was saying

Please read and try and understand my first post

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.

Like I said, I get where you're coming from and agree that the idea is absurd. I just didn't agree with the comparison you made.

This is how protesters in the UK treat our unarmed police.

In my mind looking at this, they haven't been armed enough.

It's pathetic really. There is a rise of racism in UK, but it's surely not something police is endorsing, I doubt there is a softer police in the World than British one. Absolutely zero reasons to attack them for something happening in Yankistan. If there's no covid, I'd support a peaceful protest to support american protesters, but attacking police in London is absolutely stupid.

"Two to tango" in what way? Years of instigation spilling into reaction? "Sorry state" caused by whom?

Clarify, because you're making it seem that George Floyd brought things on himself and the consequential 'final straw' for Black people is unwarranted.

Bigga, where in my actual post did I mention George Floyd (which I condone that **** of a cop for murder)
I was referring to the shitty media regarding the looters/rioters and the police... Sorry if I upset you, I should have made my post more clear.

You didn't 'upset' me.

I read it over a few times, trying to work out what angle you were coming from, hence the way I asked you the question!

This was streamed a couple of hours ago IF anyone is interested...


Mayor Frey was particularly hurt, it seems.

Saw that in his press conferences too.

For those who don't know, Senators Harris and Booker are both black.
