If it was a general question, I’d sort of agree, but the fact it was in direct response to another poster and he sort of agreed with me, I staying up on my high horse.

More than Kitchener will be doing outside the Barracks if the medway protesters get their way...If it was a general question, I’d sort of agree, but the fact it was in direct response to another poster and he sort of agreed with me, I staying up on my high horse.

Blacked up for a few shows back in around 2003 apparently.
It's fine though, they're cheeky Geordie national treasures so nothing to worry about ?

That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever seen on here. There have been hundreds if not thousands of peaceful BLM protests around the world, yet because some idiots cause trouble in London, the whole campaign is an anti-capitalist front?
Incredible.

Sorry but I just can’t see white officers running round looking for innocent black people to kill.
What about the long line of white people killed in police hands?

What did the Romans ever do for us?
Used us, like others as slaves!
Perhaps we should make a claim.

This started in the USA .
It’s spread to us .
The rest of the world is not immune.
The main problem is we haven’t dealt with our statues that’s the main complaint.

This is correct .
Who goes on a peaceful protest with enough rope to pull down a statue.
That was planned beforehand by a minority.

Yes I agree.

This is the perfect example of the modern day, social media/internet driven position where you can only occupy one extreme point or the other, it’s nonsense and does my head in never mind stifle proper debate.
Police brutality to people of any race/gender/individual is completely unacceptable and needs to be addressed.
The current issue in the States has highlighted, at this point in time, ”institutionalised racism“ (to bring it back to U.K. vocab post Stephen Lawrence enquiry) against the black population that can’t be tolerated and should be addressed.
That doesn’t mean that people are brushing under the carpet or ignoring sustained issues with other races or that they are equally worthy of the same levels of protection.

I do open my mind, I open it without any emotional bias or prejudice which is why I don’t focus on one race. But I’m not seeing the racism in this instance. I’m seeing police brutality, which obviously the states have issues with. There’s many instances of both races falling foul of police hands.
So many are protesting and outraged Because it’s in the news, it’s on Twitter, it’s on Facebook. They’ve seen the protests and the black lives matter placards on the media, and believed it was a racist act. The issue they’ve seen then upsets their moral beliefs and then with bias and their mind made up they get all uppity and become socially outrage justice warriors to look good for their friends, to feel better about themselves and throw in a few nice profile pictures, showing their outrage on their public platforms for a few likes.
Now the last paragraph definitely applies to every white person protesting in the U.K. IMO
If I see racism, I’ll call it racism. But most of the time racism is just an excuse. An excuse for their own personal failings.

Filming their own crime as well
We are two steps from anarchy at this rate where the normalisation of brutality against the police is getting closer for some.

Errrr I think there are a few that might have a different view.

Then you haven’t opened your mind enough, you are looking at this incident as a one off, maybe you should research as to why this death has sparked such outrage in Minneapolis, the US and then Worldwide.

No doubt the MP for Hackney won’t say a word about this incident
