i think it's a lot more nuanced than being racist in either of those cases. The police are trained to act first and ask questions later. They have set up special units that basically get away with all sorts of crap as long as they get results. They have made these officers believe that they are above the law and then act all shocked when they do something abhorrent. For every murder of an innocent, you can bet there are 100 that have been abused to within an inch of their lives that don't make the news at all.

It's not a matter of disbanding the police, but they need to re-vet officers and remove their superiority complex

Even if he wasn't racist ,that was never going to be justified squashing someone's neck & throat .....whilst they repeatedly cry out "I can't breathe" ,come on now . Why did the cop use such excessive force ??.

This sickening thing is regardless of race , if this was a paedophile or rapist or murderer getting arrested .... he'd get treated ALOT better. Fresh change of clothes,no crushing of the wind pipe. He'd still be alive and well in the police station with a cup of tea probably :umm2::bored: .

I prefer Jason Donavan educating me compared to her educating me.

Jason said "With love to guide us, nothing can divide us"

The white cop who demanded Tyre to be stomped has been suspended. Racist ****

Why did the fire the black cops first and the white cop last. So racist

her level of education is shocking

I think she makes a good point in terms of people saying because the cops were black they represent black people. They don't. It's the 'I'm about to educate people' rhetoric that shows incredible arrogance that will turn almost anybody off the point she's making. She was barely able to make her point till the end.

I would never have the privilege that she has to be given a platform on Sky news to air my opinions.

She has more supremecy than me, and millions of other White people.

Indeed. She rates herself, for sure. Her arrogance on matters that she can barely explain is almost laughable.

She is honestly a bit of a scatter brain , even when she makes half decent points...it's lost in a bundle as she goes off on a tangent.

She has almost nothing of worth to say, tbh. Ever. Like I do agree that the cops don't represent anyone but themselves, but it's not exactly a hard point to make, and I bet dollars to donuts she wouldn't say the same thing about white cops killing black men; they also represent no-one or nothing but themselves.

I dont know why she keeps getting booked on these shows. She didn't 'educate' as any people as she thinks

Because the media is controlled by the people who want us divided.

I understand that opinion gives me the title of conspiracy theorist, but that title is a badge of honour to me.

If I were being uncharitable, I'd posit that Big Media TM hires people who make progressives look as ridiculous and unpalatable as possible, such as her and Owen Jones. Neither are particularly skilled at getting their points across in an effective way for live "debates".

Or, possibly more likely, they make good TV - they're not boring, while a progressive who can make their points well might.come off as.dry and didactic. Or, looping back to my original point, they might come off as too likeable!

But either way, it's all a circus. Certain performers might think they're educational, but they're just the dancing hippos.

Agree with the last two comments. These characters on these shows have be 'interesting' even if they're talking bollox

she is demented

but gets booked to troll for likes

thats what i call moving the goalposts

She's un watchable for me, I just flick her over, awful woman

And all it's doing is causing more of a divide & we're not actually getting to the root of the problem...which is corruption in the police force .

BLM are saying it was racially motivated.

Of course, that organisation only profits if things are racially motivated. So they need it to be.

I do not Like Whoopi's Views

Sack her for good
