Derby to stop taking the knee.....

I do, however, believe that the 8 minutes and 46 secinds was way too long and wouldn't have happened if he'd been white. It is pure coincidence that the "straw that appeared to break the camel's back" was a career criminal. Despite all of the Laws they have in the US, the non-white community is treated as 2nd or even 3rd class citizens. The police need to drastically change the way they work.

Although, and this isn't picking on you rA, I was writing this anyway: Isn't it strange that the thread concerns a British activity yet we are fixated on what's occurred and is occurring in USA

It hadn’t entered my head that you were, AF...but, no...it’s not at all ‘strange’. The BLM movement was founded as a result of such actions as were inflicted on George Floyd and we are talking about the British reaction to that wrongdoing.

What may have been started, on a similar incident by 3 women.
Has instead morphed far and away from that original aim.
BLM bring up GF to high light a police proble, which is fine. Then there are those like Markel who uses that message to further herself in the public eye. It doesn't wash with most folks, as even though she is half black, she is also half white. Yet she uses the black side to gain publicity.
The ginge will find out one day, how much he has been conned, by his wokeness training.
This is the point with BLM/GF.
Making GF out to be a lovely human and hero, clouded the issue of police methods.
It isn't the first example either.

PS watching sky news now.
They are interviewing ethnic mothers, who say they aren't surprised and the Royal Family should be hung drawn and quartered.
So there you have it. No proof/no evidence, just Markels mouth. Guilty as charged, because it's a race accusation.

I’ve very little time for Megan Markle, but there’s something absurdly ironic about you of all people attacking the reaction to her on the basis of ‘no proof/evidence...guilty as charged, because it’s a race accusation’, especially given what you’ve written about George Floyd.

To the best of my knowledge no one on here has defended the character of the man but, although you have no proof or evidence, you have plenty to say about how disreputable he was and even go so far as to say, at 2.58 this afternoon, that taking Fentanyl was the ‘cause’ of death. Really?

In the same post you also seek to compare a soldier making a split second error when pulling a trigger, with a cop deliberately kneeling on someone’s neck for, allegedly, in excess of eight minutes. Just too ludicrous for words Tricky.

P.S. Apologies, Swale, but it had to be quoted to be believed.

Did you want the full list?
The medical examiner says the injury occurred when George "experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by law enforcement officer(s)."

The medical examiner also says that other significant conditions include, "arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease; fentanyl intoxication; recent methamphetamine use.

Obviously, you want to ignore everything, except a stupid cop breaking the law with his arrest.
Perhaps you need to google his list of offences yourself. The man was anything but a hero to be reverred.
As for the trigger example. How many have been castigated for shooting first by instinct and getting it very wrong.
I am not defending that cop at all. However, it seems like his execution is assured, by the race baiters who have already decided.
Apologies to swale.
