    Sadly that is probably normal "day wear" for American policemen!

He had just finished his shift and was on his way home, so he could have left her there, knowing that an ambulance was on its way.

    Instead he stayed and tried to revive the child whilst waiting. When the ambulance was clearly delayed he showed compassion and took the mother and child to the hospital A&E department himself.

    As a result a permanent bond has been formed between the two families, one black the other white.
    Fair point, But no one is saying all police are bad just that if you’re black you’re more likely to be mistreated by the police.

    The protests aren’t anti police they’re anti racism. This one amazing act doesn’t change that.

    Just watched a brilliant film called just mercy about a death row lawyer with jamie Foxx. I’d recommend it to anyone, really good film.

    Really? I mean, really?? So no-one is saying or thinking that?

    We’ve had police in this country attacked because of some police brutality in the States.

    But, no, NO-ONE is saying all police are bad.

    She was feisty because the Senator tried to discredit her in front of the TV cameras with an out of context tape recording, but she was savvy enough to turn the tables on her accuser.

    Not really, a load of poor people voted Tory during the last Election, people do very strange things when they feel like they have no options.

    The knowledge that you've found a kindred spirit.

    You know things are ****ed up when the left are championing Piers Morgan. Mind blowing.Thick as mince.

    Boris hoodwinks the brexiteers and long term labour voters into voting for him and Piers, interested in GMB ratings only, has got the left holding him up as some kind of moralistic martyr.

    Worlds gone cuckoo.

    What’s mad is people have become so brainwashed that they consider viruses and racism partisan issues that can be split into “left and right”

    I don’t know the opinions of everyone but the whole movement is about racism within the police of which their is plenty.

    Again if you want to reduce a civil rights movement to the behaviour of the minority of the biggest arse holes involved you might just be looking for any reason to undermine it.

    I find it ironic that she thinks the USA is nationalist and not globalistic

    Trumps America ?

    Is she having a laugh ?

    America has just about the dodgiest foreign policy of any country in the world and under trump is trying to put its tentacles out all over the world again

    It's a fecking global capitalist superpower that has huge influence in every country in the world

    It killed the native american indian , enslaved and oppressed black people and it's only in the 1960s that it gave civil rights to African americans

    I dont think she talks any sense at all , shes talking out of her arse in my opinion and I worry that anyone would agree with her views

    Well done to the people in South Wales who managed to peacefully protest without turning ugly and resorting to looting and violence.
