    It's a point of view. I don't support it personally.

    What do you think though, about the rising amount of clips featuring violent police tactics we are seeing, since this all began?

    Police beating people mercilessly, ignoring people they've injured as they lie bleeding, using tear gas and baton rounds against their own people, most of whom seem to be peaceful?

    If you're ok with it fine, but what brutal world will we end up living in, if the police can do these things with regular impunity?

    It doesn't support that statistic. It can't, because it's more people than murders by a substantial amount.
    Are they committing 1 murder and having 100 people charged and convicted for it?
    It's also a Gish Gallop by some random on Twitter.

    You watching this show on BBC2 about Eric Clapton? Just heard an interview he gave on US radio, talking about music and race in America.

    Pretty depressing really, absolutely nothing has changed since 1967.

    You'd leave town, grow your hair, and get a new job.

    Imagine a few thousand Brexit supporters met up today and caused carnage?

    All the lefty freaks on here would be properly melting down about. Social distancing and all that.

    Yeah, pretty much. The scars of slavery, still haven’t healed.

    ****ing America, man; all that brilliant music. All that tragic ****. Maybe you can’t have one without the other.

    I think that the same tactics have been used to kill white scum as well. Difference if we didn’t desecrate war memorials and kill and rob small business because of it. I don’t condone any of it. If you were an American cop would you have let him go knowing he would say anything to stop what was going on? I’m no racist but I think the whole premise has been hijacked by scum and now ridiculous brits have jumped on the bandwagon and vandalised the cenotaph. I can’t forgive that. So **** em.
