George Floyd murder | Clashes between US police and protestors

I think we should all just stick with our love of City, before it all gets out of hand on this thread.

It got 'out of hand' all last week, thanks in part to your input. Surely we can have a good 5 days of pointing and laughing (or we'd cry) at the violent racist hate groups defending our nations integrity. Join in if you like?

It's mental that some people seem desperate to equate the BLM protests with that embarrassing shitshow yesterday from Tommy Robinson's herd of fucking morons.

There's no comparison whatsoever to be made between the two movements; one is a just cause, the other is just a bunch of pissed-up, braindead scumbags spoiling for a fight.

Afua Hirsch sums up perfectly the sheer stupidity of trying to equate these two positions:

There was a just cause among both groups i.e. stopping racism and stopping mob cultural cleansing however the fact they've put other people at risk by turning up in groups and attacking the police is a totally selfish and irresponsible means of trying to achieve their cause. That's why people are equating them.

Saw that late last night but not seen any verification.

Locking this thread now as it's strayed a bit from the original subject. Will start separate threads for the US and UK protests.
