Justice for George Floyd petition

[J R Hartley]

I'm probably being completely ignorant here but what are these protests in the UK actually about. What do the people attending specifically want to change here?

The guy who spoke in Cardiff said he didn’t want to live in fear of being killed by police because of the colour of his skin. Perhaps he was from the USA and was just on vacation.

Do you think black people in this country get treated equally and without discrimination by the police , the courts etc ?

Are you aware of the high disproportionate number of deaths of black men in police custody ?

You do realise that black men have been killed by the police in this country ?

Any sources for the disproportionate claims?

Yes, black people have been killed by police in this country, but that isn't what these protests are about because it isn't an issue here. I've linked the police deaths so you can look through and pick out ones that were unlawful, you'll note that the worst cases were decades back (and not all related to race).

Trying to conflate US police issues with our issues is insulting and undermines the movement in the US.
