It looked more like the cop dropped it, and the man tried to grab it tbh.

If you fan the flames prepare to get burnt

That’s such a childish thing to say.

This not a bloody game.

He put it in his hand..

he grabbed his hand and slammed it on the stick?

no way, he dropped it and forced the guy on the grounds hand on it?

[Liam-]

I agree that the rioters should have some comeback, but the forces who attack and break up peaceful protests should be dealt it, a peaceful protest is protected by the constitution and there are many instances where cops have ignored that and gotten violent

It's hard to tell for sure, he could be grabbing the guy's hand to stop him from getting the baton.

No question. But that does not excuse rioting and destroying people's homes and properties.

The rioting started before he crawled off to his hole.

[The Slim Reaper]

Well all I can say is, I will fcuk anyone up regardless of colour when comes to protecting my family.

Trump has no choice, decent people don’t go out looting and mindless vandalism.

There is a difference between the people on the streets so are decent protesters and some are scum that deserve a bullet in the face.

What’s a leader supposed to do let the feral street rats run riot.

Alright Arnie

[Niamh.]

He would have if the scum in America did not do there usual and turn it about a man being killed at the hands of the police to Normal people have their livelihood destroyed and being afraid to go on the streets

Would you go out on the streets in support after what you have seen happening?

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

No he would not..........

[thesheriff443]

Oh it's a game to Trump but this time he picked the wrong opponents because Americans wont stand for it

You are so wrong, the looters and rioters have given the power to trump.

You are white and Someone comes and burns your house down because a black man was killed so it makes that justifid does it

You just a keyboard warrior, spouting out rubbish.

[bots]

People on the ground, showing unedited videos of things as they happen, is unreliable?

This sounds an awful lot like saying black people are creating this

with thousands of people in the street, with people reacting in the moment to events happening around them, you can shoot a video to support any narrative you wish. I'm not saying that dreadful things aren't happening, but context and choosing what you video and when can change an entire scenario

[Niamh.]

When has he ever been a leader?

And even at the best of times people wouldn't listen to him, so why would they start when emotions are so high?

Never, that was exactly my point

[thesheriff443]

No he would not..........

You don’t know that, in fact he was in support of the officer getting prosecuted.

[Liam-]

It's hard to tell for sure, he could be grabbing the guy's hand to stop him from getting the baton.


It’s not hard to tell at all, he literally forced the guys hand onto it and then proceeded to beat him for it

Let me make one thing clear to you, it is illegal for the army to shoot civilians and it is illegal to take away the rights of the people

come back when you know what you are talking about

So much in support he actively spoke about Maga attacking people a group that hates black people and he keeps telling people to shoot to kill

[The Slim Reaper]

[Oliver_W]

Never, that was exactly my point

Well exactly. He's never been a leader, and since his presidency he's always in danger of being attacked, and that's at the best of times! Can you imagine if he went out on the streets?! He'd be murdered!

So while he is pathetic, it's easy to see why he's not making public appearances.

[Denver]

come back when you know what you are talking about

It is illegal for the army to shoot and kill unarmed citizens, it's a war crime

If you go on a riot, loot and destroy property you are a civilian but you are also a criminal and will end up in jail or dead.

The law works both ways.

If you are unarmed and killed that is murder no matter what you did before and its goes against so many fundamental American and international law

If you run in America after being told to stop you usually get shot black or white.

Anyways that’s enough from me. Trump will get the streets cleared and black people will continue to be shot.

But don’t think life is one sided there are many places in London where you will get stabbed up for being in the wrong post code.

Take of the blinkers and see the whole picture not just thru someone’s camera.

Sadly all this could help Trump get re-elected.

Depends on what the "man on the street" who's not involved either way thinks to all this. Joe Average is passively against racism, but doesn't want to see rioting. I think it all depends on how to riots (and protests) are seen by those not involved.

If Trump can make it look like he's saved America from the riots, they'll be right in his pocket.

It's not really the blackness that is the deciding factor, it's the socio-economic, whether they were excluded from school, and their home lives that are the deciding factors.

Black on black crime is insane, but it's not because of their skin colour.

when i grew up in glasgow, it was the knife capital of europe ... there was some serious violence going on. They had a knife amnesty and that did a lot to reduce the crime levels, also i think that many decided that heroin was an easier escape

[Denver]

Black on black crime is insane, but it's not because of their skin colour.

And that happens because they dont get funding, all the money goes to white majority neighbourhood's.

If you want people to succeed then you have to help them not throw them on bottom of the pile the minute they are born

[The Slim Reaper]

And I wonder was it ever referred to as "White on white" crime?

Of course not. "Black on black" is used as a conditioner to make us believe that black doctors, lawyers, footballers, grandmothers, brother Leon, are all equally as dangerous as each other.

[Denver]

If they think it’s not being invoked on them and just the ‘domestic terrorists’ they’ll get behind it

Well the military can throw out the rules and make their own so I think it will affect them

Reparations in the USA should take the form of improving disadvantaged neighbourhoods and communities. Funnel money into education and other services, and the lives of the people who live there - and by extension, the entire city/town/whatever - will be improved.

Both of the examples you outline are examples where the national press have been (rightly) outraged and both of them were condemned to the fullest of national fury. Lee Rigby's death was front-page news. The Rotherham gangs (and other such gangs) are still talked about to this day, despite the first group-prosecution happening ten years ago. The point here is that black people are so routinely discriminated against and treated as a threat, subject to police harrassment and brutality, and acts of minor aggression without any such coverage in the news. You might see stories on social media but they never get much attention, and are forgotten within a month because another such case (or 10, or 100) happen.

As ugly as the violence and riots are, change is never going to happen peacefully. It's way past that point.

[armand.kay]

Black Lives Matter =/= White Lives don't matter... Why is that hard for some people to get their heads around? We say Black Lives Matter because clearly the world is forgetting that.

This has the potential to be exponentially bigger than the 1992 Los Angeles riots and yet... I fear the outcome is going to be exactly the same. Nothing will change.

[armand.kay]

since George Floyd, we've seen another case where an innocent, unarmed black man was murdered in cold blood. A man who often gave the cops free food btw. We've also seen a racist man shoot a black 222-year-old and not get charged.

Why has only one officer been arrested? Why have the police not been arrested for murdering Breonna Taylor while she slept? Why are police allowed to turn their body cams off to murder black people and escape justice?

I heard all of them had been arrested and one is being charged with murder,so many inconsistances in in the stories ,getting angry with people will not help ,I happen not to take on board all the stories banded about,especially the twitter stuff,what happened to that guy and others was disgusting and hopefully now things will be looked at and all racist officers brought to book, BUT its not the fault of innocent people is it? That is my opinion and calling people names will not change that.There is no excuse for wanton violence imo, I know you don't agree so you don't have to keep telling me.

This has gone a LONG way beyond George Floyd at this point. He's a symbol, but it isn't about that case. This is hundreds of years of racial tension bubbling to the surface.

Curfew

Black Lives Matter =/= White Lives don't matter... Why is that hard for some people to get their heads around? We say Black Lives Matter because clearly the world is forgetting that.

Fragile white people that see anything that isn't focused around them as an attack on them.

Kazanne said that black people the world over has made their point and we should move on. I can't believe she ended racism in a post when people have been fighting against it to no avail for decades, what a queen.

Curfew

You are a sick person if you think people deserve to die over a silly curfew

Nope there are hundreds some as young as 12 innocently playing in the park

[Ramsay]

I heard all of them had been arrested and one is being charged with murder,so many inconsistances in in the stories ,getting angry with people will not help ,I happen not to take on board all the stories banded about,especially the twitter stuff,what happened to that guy and others was disgusting and hopefully now things will be looked at and all racist officers brought to book, BUT its not the fault of innocent people is it? That is my opinion and calling people names will not change that.There is no excuse for wanton violence imo, I know you don't agree so you don't have to keep telling me.

His name is George Floyd, you obviously don't care at all

Like they should be happy that nobody has reiterated the fact that their lives matter and you'd think that any decent person would want that same reality for black people...

If you are mobilised you are at risk of being rushed or shot. To reduce this risk, while practicing your 2nd amendment rights I'd sit down or cuff myself to something.

I don't think the civil rights movement have what they want when black people are being killed by police officers for nothing but all the progress that has been made so far has started off with anger and riots. You are LGBT, are you not? The reason why you can be prideful in yourself now is because trans women and drag queens of colour raged against the police at Stonewall, that was the match that lit the fuse and began the movement towards a seachange.

Buildings can be repaired, insurance is a thing but you can't bring someone back to life but you can rage against the entities that are responsible for that loss of life.
