I think I answered the question. I don't condone it, but I understand why it happens. That is possible.

If you really want to stand together with them just drive into town and put a window through, nick a TV and set your next door neighbours car on fire.

You said after you don’t condone it that you did condone it. All a tad confusing.

Missed a word out. I didn't actually say I condoned it, I was talking in third party and missed out the word 'not' by accident.

Quite an important word in the context of the post I’m sure you’d agree

Yes, but you were still wrong to say I was condoning it.
Just curious as to why you're trying to pick holes in nonsense like this while you have completely missed the bigger picture? Had a nice evening by any chance?

I haven’t missed anything. I understand why they are upset, what happened was abhorrent, but what does looting shops and setting cars on fire achieve exactly? Why is that acceptable?
As for picking holes, I can’t believe you of all people would grumble about that. It’s your forte.

What's the problem? The police are just following their presidents orders. He told them to rough it up a bit.

Re: Justice for George Floyd petition
morons protesting in London this afternoon. Chanting 'I can't breathe' is appropriate given some of them will likely have the same issue in 3 weeks time. Sick of people in this country trying to import US politics and race relations into the UK

What America desperately needs is calm, dignified and measured leadership. Sadly they have Trump instead.

He spoke yesterday but the media forgot to report it. Regarding the riots, the governors of each state are responsible for deciding what type of response takes place, and many particularly in the Democratic controlled states have decided to do nothing, and let them continue with their rioting, looting, maiming and killing.

Trump has got nothing to do with the local state police, you need to blame the individual governors for their lack of direction.

It changes the situation a lot if they knew each other.

How brutally kicking someone to death like that is honouring the death of George Floyd I do not know.
It’s just an excuse for anarchy of the worst kind.

Re: Justice for George Floyd petition
Attorney General William P. Barr's Statement on Riots and Domestic Terrorism
Attorney General William P. Barr has issued the following statement:
“With the rioting that is occurring in many of our cities around the country, the voices of peaceful and legitimate protests have been hijacked by violent radical elements. Groups of outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate, violent, and extremist agenda.
It is time to stop watching the violence and to confront and stop it. The continued violence and destruction of property endangers the lives and livelihoods of others, and interferes with the rights of peaceful protestors, as well as all other citizens.
It also undercuts the urgent work that needs to be done – through constructive engagement between affected communities and law enforcement leaders – to address legitimate grievances. Preventing reconciliation and driving us apart is the goal of these radical groups, and we cannot let them succeed.
It is the responsibility of state and local leaders to ensure that adequate law enforcement resources, including the National Guard where necessary, are deployed on the streets to reestablish law and order. We saw this finally happen in Minneapolis last night, and it worked.
Federal law enforcement actions will be directed at apprehending and charging the violent radical agitators who have hijacked peaceful protest and are engaged in violations of federal law.
To identify criminal organizers and instigators, and to coordinate federal resources with our state and local partners, federal law enforcement is using our existing network of 56 regional FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF).
The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.”

Re: Justice for George Floyd petition
I don’t think the behaviour of a load of idiots should detract from the fact that the human rights of black people in America are substandard. The behaviour of these arse holes shouldn’t detract from the bigger picture.
The people looting etc should be ashamed of themselves for undermining what is a great cause.

Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.

What happened to that chap in Dallas went far beyond the “behaviour of an idiot”.
It was stone cold murder every bit as disgusting as the killing of George Floyd.
I’m hoping the poor fella hasn’t been killed and it’s social media getting ahead of itself, but it didn’t look good.
But, hey, either way, whatever the outcome, it is what it is.
