A perfect storm.
The familiar story of an unarmed black man being gunned down but this time by white vigilantes. Meanwhile the state prosecutor deliberately tried to cover it up. The Covid 19 lockdown has stressed people out and people are loosing their jobs. Of course it didn't help when the elites were seen breaking those same restrictions. Then in front of the cameras for the world to see , an unarmed black man, was asphyxiated by a knee across his throat, with the murderer looking directly into the camera.
No disrespect to you, but I hate that phrase.
Laws change all the time - what was once unlawful can become lawful (like homosexuality).
Lawful killings feel like a closing of ranks and a cover up by the Establishment and this is a classic example:

But I agree, I also hope things don't escalate here too.
Sadly there probably were some protestors who turned rioters.
It's about an attitude, a fear, a predisposition to attack first, ask questions later.Surely George Floyd was just an unarmed man (and suspect) rather than an unarmed black man, is there any evidence he was killed due to racial motives?

So much anger and destruction for something that has happened in another country, which seems for some as an excuse to go out and cause as much damage as possible.
I wonder if, when this is over, the same protesters will vent their frustration and anger at the Saudi and Chinese governments.

It gives all the evidence of his death being due to racial motives. I made it even simpler by explaining it in the same post.Does that video give any evidence of George Floyd's death being due to racial motives?
What? Amber Ruffin is a known criminal with a history of gun violence?A known criminal with a history of gun related violence....
Would you be saying the same if a white boxer was saying the same or a white boxer saying to boycott black boxers fights? I doubt it very much.
Having spent a fair few quid watching joshua in the ring, he's just lost my support.

I assume you mean George Floyd? So let's say that is true? So what? And why do I have to keep asking this question? Nothing justifies that officer's actions. Absolutely nothing!
Like this one perhaps? Would love to hear your thoughts on him, his rehab, his current high standing with boxing fans, of which you are evidently one (I'm not especially).
Christian boxer Tyson Fury in 'homophobic, sexist and anti-Semitic' rant - Premier Christian News | Headlines, Breaking News, Comment & Analysis
There are fresh calls for the Christian boxer Tyson Fury to be banned from the sport after he posted an hour-long video rant.premierchristian.news

Sorry but that was the outcome, it was lawful, my point was that if people rioted over lawful police actions then I hope things don't escalate over the George Floyd incident which appears not to be lawful
What evidence? Has anyone been tried before a jury and convicted and that it was racial?
Why is this so hard for you to understand? If you determine that a certain race is always a threat then they will be treated as such.It gives no evidence of that whatsoever

Clutching at straws now. You still didn't answer.
Some of your comparisons are very weak and don’t work in your argument whatsoever, Nabby.
Canada goose eh?! How about someone suggests boycotting their clothes because the factory has black workers?
joshua is suggesting to boycott business and economies based on the colour of peoples skin. That doesn’t sit well with me one bit.

Dave Chapelle was pulled over by a cop. Dave is a world famous comedian, he was terrified and thought he was going to die. The cop knew Dave Chappelle and was offended that Dave would think that of him. Later on that same cop shot and killed an unarmed black man. As Dave quite rightly says, a black man shouldn't have to be Dave Chappelle to survive an encounter with the Police.
I still disagree.
This is the Wikipedia account of the Mark Duggan shooting:
Shooting of Mark Duggan - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
If you scroll down to the section entitled, "Shooting", you'll find many conflicting accounts so it's not exactly a clear cut case of the action being "lawful".
And then there's this farcical scenario:
Shooting of Harry Stanley - Wikipedia

Amazingly, no one lost their jobs.
The Police do a difficult job in very challenging circumstances and they have every right to defend themselves if they're being attacked. But they should not otherwise be shooting people dead; their job is to apprehend people and let the justice system ascertain their guilt or otherwise.
They should also be transparent and accountable in their actions, no losing of evidence and no closing ranks. As things currently stand, you, Arenaman, could be shot dead tomorrow by an armed officer and they could escape prosecution by claiming they perceived you as a threat or they were in fear of their life.
This is not justice being served, in my opinion.
I don’t want to imagine anything, I’d like us to stay with the facts and not fill in blanks. Yes I mean George Floyd. And yes he does have history.It gives all the evidence of his death being due to racial motives. I made it even simpler by explaining it in the same post.

Imagine if an untrained version of the US army was policing the streets. No need to imagine, the US police are an ill-trained, un-educated para-military force.
Nothing justifies that officer's actions. Absolutely nothing!
At least the privileged hat girl in the video began to understand.Can you prove 100% that is the case? No. Get off your high horse and stop treating every white person the same.
Why are you failing to grasp no one has been convicted and that is was racial
Nothing to imagine, the US police are an ill-trained, under educated para-military force.I don’t want to imagine anything, I’d like us to stay with the facts and not fill in blanks. Yes I mean George Floyd. And yes he does have history.
You will need to take that up with the many Jewish writers of the TV show.PS. I really dislike your avatar, I find it offensive and reminds me of the nazi insignia who occupied my parents and grand parents estate.
Most of the younger generation seem to be messed up in the head.
They suffer Anxiety attacks, take anti-depresents, have no gender, approve socialism and think that destroying statues is acceptable.
Do they see themselves acting like this when they reach their 30's, 40's or even 50's? They are pathetic, and so are the people who support this sort of behaviour.

Facts: OK. George Ford was dragged to the ground and murdered in a way that we would only normally see if a person was resisting arrest. The videos I have placed on this thread highlight the pervasive attitude of all black men being a threat. If this was the first time it has happened you may have had an argument. But 10+ times means that this is a now a fact.
The fact that he has history is 100% irrelevant.
