Fair enough

I do think that would be the thinking behind it with most posters, but with Arista, who the hell knows!

Your opinion is not s fact

Own that TS

The man would have been alive if he hadn't been knelt on for minutes on end. Does it matter exactly which bodily function caused him to die?

A virus doesn't know the difference. When it comes down to it, the intention doesn't matter. Even the most peaceful of protests aren't going to stop murders from happening, so they can be put on ice. For now.

Only those who have been conditioned to believe justice is a privilege not a right wouldn't get upset at this issue.

Yes we get it, you dont believe black lives are worth saving

armand.kay 30-05-2020 09:16 PM

Black lives are being lost and it isn't stopping because of this virus. People are fed up and angry.

How does spreading a deadly virus help save lives?

Trump destroyed by a tweet. Watch from 20-25 seconds in.

It's a cause far more important then the virus, it's not just an American problem it's a worldwide problem with there already being protests in England, Germany and Japan today

Kizzy 30-05-2020 09:24 PM

America is a pressure cooker right now, with the fear and the weak leadership surrounding the pandemic.
People out of work and struggling, isolated from loved ones worrying about an uncertain future a catalyst like this event has triggered a cataclysmic chain reaction across the US

All anyone wants in a democratic western society is law and order.. you get that wrong with police meting out vigilante justice and you get this, civil unrest.

The rule of law is not followed justice is not served and communities decend into anarchy, it was bound to happen... nothing would have stopped it after that choke hold. Regardless of any underlying health issue, that is in this case totally irrelevant. Heart disease or not you crush someone's windpipe they are going to die.

This has most likely happened before, only the mood in the country and in areas affected heavily by coronavirus is increasingly volatile, do I think this will end well? With trump as president? No not at all, I'm worried for all Americans right now.

"Yes, your honour, it's just a coincidence he passed out and died whilst I had my entire body weight on his windpipe and he couldn't breathe!"

Hardly. All of the police killings in the UK were people who were direct threats to the public https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...United_Kingdom

People going to the riots don't just endanger themselves, but their entire families, if they were to bring the covid home.

Marsh. 30-05-2020 09:28 PM

Not wikipedia.

Didn't the autopsy quote police restraint coupled with other factors? Possibly death wouldn't have occured without one contributing factor therefore the police constraint contributed to the man's death ergo...kneeling on his neck caused his death???

There is no difference at all, the virus doesn’t have a moral compass, you are now allowed to sunbathe if you practice social distancing....and march as well same rule applies
