The Nitty Gritty of the BLM movement

Yeh. Should add I was usually acting up, but police often made stuff up and some would turn up as witnesses who weren't even there. That used to boil my piss. Overtime for nowt.
They also used to scoop innocent bystanders and never accept their mistake.
In fairness to them these were the dark days of football hooliganism.

It was generally accepted that the police would lie in court. Part of the game.
DISCLAIMER. Police put up with a shed load of shyte so not anti them, just the ones who lie when not really necessary. Some of my best friends are cops

 

Yep, on both sides. Lived a life me mate.

 

I was on jury duty only once in my life.

One of the jurors, a young professional, wanted to quickly find the accused guilty because he had a busy weekend ahead!!!

He asked for the court usher when I threatened to put him through the window ...

... the accused was up on a big fraud charge and looking at 8-10 years ffs

 

There's something strange going on and I don't think it's at all helpful. I was just listening to the radio and hearing that a black man has been killed by US policemen ... shocking and shameful. Various black spokesmen, family, etc, were speaking about how racist the police are, BLM was mentioned, protests, road blocks and confrontations ensued.

So I went on the BBC news website and found that those responsible for the 'racist attack' were black, all five of them. All of the media are reporting that a black man has been killed. This is a human being who's been tragically and brutally murdered ...

... why does the colour of his skin matter?

 

5 black policemen wearing cameras which filmed them killing him and then filmed themselves making a story up to blame him for the beating, and they still believe they are innocent

 

My eldest daughter has a dream of moving to the States on a permanent basis when she semi retires, I've told her in no uncertain way that she must be absolutely crackers as theirs is a broken society.
She's actually going there in holiday in the summer a road trip or something, can't believe how naive she has become.
Wouldn't touch the States with a bargepole.

 

Imo if you are millionaire above states is probably great, normal person **** that. Break ya leg and end up in £30k debt, get cancer and they **** you off with ****e treatment cause your insurance policy wasn't good enough.

 

The thing about that black lad dying it’s put the BLM movement in a bit of a pickle, before they were demanding they should be arrested straight away and charged with murder, now it’s 5 black police officers and they’ve been charged with murder next we will be hearing you never charged the white police officers with murder straight away.

 

One civil rights leader said something like 'if the victim had been white, he wouldn't have gotten beaten up!' 5 black policemen kill one black man and the white population still get to feel guilty?

 

100% this^

I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning.

If a man was murdered, say in London last week, and the man was white, and the murderers were all white, then the headlines would NOT read -

'White Man Murdered In London, By Five White Men'

Why the hell are the media highlighting the incident just because the man was not white?
Why is the media evoking so much hatred against coloured folk, as though they are trying to portray non whites as a protected different super race?

We are all the same species FFS!

I only could read half of what SKY reported because the incident details upset me...

And, I'm really not ashamed to say that I stopped reading it at the point where it reported that the 29 year old man was so frightened, that he was heard ctying out for his mam!!

....that broke my ****in heart man...

 

Biden has pleaded for them not to riot in the town, I was thinking why would they be rioting they got exactly what they asked for.

 

The whole film was on the bbc this morning, how bright must the police be to actually video it all while they are doing it

 

Just read this and so agree with your sentiments , heartbreaking, great post fella.

 

I believe that in America its a police training/mentality video.

Just watched that video and not once did they have control of that situation, they couldn't get his arms behind his back because in these videos they never seem to be aware of anything other than hit them and shout for them to do it. Once you kick a person full on in the face the chance of them listening to and understanding your commands is slim to none.

They have a difficult Jon over there as any routine stop can end in them being shot but it's no excuse for the fact they struggle a lot to deal with situations without the extreme levels of force! They knew that he didn't pose a danger because quite frankly if they thought he did he would have been shot! Instead they beat him, joke about it and then lied about his actions to try and cover their arsed all before the lad had even been cared for by medical staff.

And the medical staff all want sacking aswell, they just stood looking at him.

 

Couldn't believe what I heard on the radio yesterday, there was an American civil rights leader actually complaining about the racism in this case , are you ready from his explanation.
The pure racism shown in this case is evident with the fact it was 19 days from when footage was first seen to when these officers were arrested and charged however if the officers had been white it would have taken the authorities months to charge them **** me man.
I also noticed every time it's reported on the radio it mentions a black man killed by police officers, yet there had been a teenager girl stabbed and died in Hexham, I'm presuming she is white as they don't mention it.
When George Floyd was murdered it was a racist killing because the officers where white even though there was not one shred of evidence that is why he died, yet this time time the officers are black so it can't possibly be racist, however if it was exactly the same situation as to what has happened there would be riots all over the world and all the BLM **** spouted again.
I would like racism to stop as much as anyone but why anything that happens involving a black person has to be racist.
Until that happens we will never move forward because this alone is creating a bigger divide in people's views

 

Everyone who decided Floyd was a racist attack did so entirely on the colour of the officer's skin ...

... precisely the kind of blatant racism BLM has rioted about.

This case is 'racist' because if the officers are jailed for 100 years some radical fcukwit will claim white officers would only get 99 years ...

... and be let out after 98 for good behaviour.

 

WTF is wrong with people

Loved this bit...

"A section detailing personal experiences of racism was compiled by two academics from York St John University.

They reported 'some participants expressed that they had altered their own habits and routines to avoid being targeted for racist abuse in York.' 'The most common complaint was exposure to racist language, attitudes, and behaviour.'

They found examples of 'racism' in health, education and policing and some believed racism was a 'significant' problem in the city.

However, this 'qualitative study' was based on interviews with just ten people of differing ethnic minorities, six of whom worked at one university."

 

I have ten people who have a significant problem with me on this board ffs

 

Just to clarify.

What you're saying is that it's great to make grandiose gestures to everyone watching, and act the hero ...


... providing there's absolutely no chance of any personal consequences.

Martin Luther King would be so proud.
