Unfortunately these 'demonstrators' are no doubt from far and wide - will have brought the virus, shared it around - and taken it back far and wide. One placard read "I don't care about the virus, I don't care about the economy - I care about Black Lives". We will ALL be shut down again, loads of jobs will be lost ......... and people (including black people) will possibly die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is dead, the officer has been charged. Horrible, but I am not going to lose any sleep over it. I don't actually feel that personally affected by the story. Worse in my mind was the protestor pushed to the ground in Buffalo because I used to live close to there. A baby got shot in the head in Harlesden yesterday, where are you on that?

WalkedUp Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) The situation is complex but our disgust at the violence is simple. 1. The officers appear to have made a serious transgression with their aggressive actions, however they have now been charged and will face a trial in which the full facts will be presented. If they are found to be guilty they will face serious consequences, if they are found to be innocent they will be freed. Their careers are probably over either way but unfortunately that happens. I consider what I saw in the video to be murder but have absolutely no expertise or evidence to make that call >>>> the legalities of the death-in-custody are now being dealt with appropriately so further speculation or protest on this is redundant. 2. This is the latest of many incidents showing excessive force and extra judicial punishment in the US. But look at the culture it occurred in... America has serious violent crime issues, I would not want to be a police officer there ... who on earth would? The movement against police brutality appears justified, but the society must reflect upon how they allowed or fostered their police to become this way. >>>> The violent protests are only brutalising and alienating the police further. 3. The demonstrations against the death of an unarmed black man in police custody are legitimate. It is reasonable to show solidarity when this incident is part of a long trend of institutional racism. However, the dead man’s character is being twisted and he has practically been beatified. A ‘gentle giant’ who committed the armed invasion of a pregnant woman’s house? People need to accept he was a dangerous and violent individual, >>>> the protests should be in general rather than in glorification of this criminal drug addict. 4. Bringing violence to the streets of the UK is not acceptable. It was not acceptable after the death of drug dealer Mark Duggan and it is not acceptable now. The peaceful majority were let down by the violent few, however if you whip up a protest you must bare responsibility for how it descends. As soon as the protests became violent or destructive they became counter productive. You are arguing that you deserve civility when you can’t behave with civility? >>>>> The protestors have lost any support from the common man. 5. Destruction of our heritage will do nothing to improve the lives of those who are disadvantaged or any other gainful result. The pursuit of this destruction shows the idiocy of those involved. The only way to move forward is to forgive the actions in the past. We did that with Germany, Japan, Italy. I don’t whinge to my Italian brother in law about his responsibility and complicity for the actions of Mussolini. Liverpool has a maritime museum that exposes and explains the historic slave trade. >>>>> All those involved with or complicit with any destruction of property should be traced, tried and imprisoned.

Infact suggesting it does takes away from true racism and gives a space for real racists to hide, saying "well everything is racist these days" because it is. The word racism is loosing it's punch and it's because people like you sling it around for no reason. As for what his six year old would think, that's a separate issue for a separate thread.

REDINGTON Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 This was written by an American fellow, you know, someone who actually lives in the USA. I trust he won't object to my placing it here. Suspects killed by police in the USA are 75% less today than they were in 1980. That is true for blacks, Asians, Latinos, everyone. Rate of shootings remains pretty steady since 2015. 919 people were fatally shot by police in 2018. 1,023 people were shot and killed by police in 2019. Whites comprise over half those killed by police. Black compose 13% of the population and comprise 26% of those killed by police. Blacks are arrested and convicted of 38% of the violent crime in America: 3 times the rate of whites....disproportionate to their population. In 2019, 10 people of 1,023 were killed by police accidentally or by use of force excessive to a crime being committed. So, here’s the 2018 breakdown of the 995 people shot and killed by the police: 403 were white, 210 were black, 148 were Hispanic, 38 were classified as other, and 199 were classified as unknown. Out of that 995, 47 were unarmed — 23 were white, 17 were black, 5 were Hispanic, and 2 were unknown. Out of the 30-50 million interactions that the police had with the American public last year, 10 million people were arrested, and less than 0.01 percent were shot and killed by the police. Out of those 10 million people arrested, 47 of those shot and killed were unarmed, which equates to 0.00047 percent, 17 of which were black. 948 of 995 criminals killed by police were armed and committing a violent crime at the time. 95% of those suspects killed were armed. The reality is that out of the 10,000,000 arrests made last year in the U.S., 17 black people shot and killed by the police were unarmed, which equates to 0.00017 percent. That does not mean they were innocent. It does not mean the shootings were racially motivated. Blacks are "disproportionately" over-represented on police forces, for those who place some value on such things. Black police and deputies do a lot of the patrolling and call responding to black neighborhoods. Latino police and deputies do a lot of the patrolling and call responding to black neighborhoods. So the criminals are being arrested by police of their own race, more than by white police. Black police are involved in shooting and killing a lot of these black criminals. Are they racists? Of course not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
