i hope this stays civilised. UK people using this as an excuse to riot in London would be fecking ridiculous
Yeah that’s itYou talking about Tiananmen tank?
You are on the wrong side of this fight.So many people condoning violence, bloody hell, this is why I ask for purge, world is fecked in the head.
I didn't realise black lives only mattered in the US?i hope this stays civilised. UK people using this as an excuse to riot in London would be fecking ridiculous
That is the point, I am on a side of not killing innocent people, you know, common sense and all that? And yeah, I understand irony all right, too bad you couldn't see it.You are on the wrong side of this fight.
And your privilege lets you be with no hint of shame.
(Btw you need to look up the word irony, because you clearly don't get it)
You keep making that point and I don't know if you are purposely obtuse or genuinely failing to understand the context. People are understanding violence, they are understanding that centuries of violence and systemic acceptance/maintenance of that violence has created the response you see today. No one is really condoning it but many know that it is an inevitable and recurrent outcome, there is a point where people stop turning the other cheek.So many people condoning violence, bloody hell, this is why I ask for purge, world is fecked in the head.
Show one post where I condone killing innocent people.That is the point, I am on a side of not killing innocent people, you know, common sense and all that?
Dr West's book Race Matters is a brilliant read. I'd suggest everyone to check it out. Its still very relevant.Tweet

Thought this was brilliant.
His ability to articulate with such clarity while talking about such emotive matters is really impressive. He hits the nail on the head over and over again.
Sickening.Tweet

All recent stuff for meIs youtube being cencored?
My top search on "american riots" is mostly australian TV and Aljazeera
Look, black Americans are facing violence every fecking day. And not just from angry random citizens but from the very people who are supposed to enforce the law and keep people safe. How goddamn scared do you think you’d feel if the very mechanisms in place to keep law and order treated you like the enemy for no reason other than your skin colour?!So many people condoning violence, bloody hell, this is why I ask for purge, world is fecked in the head.
People are condoning Violence... Kill them allSo many people condoning violence, bloody hell, this is why I ask for purge, world is fecked in the head.
Ah ok. Yup the tank didn't run over the chap. It tried to detour around him a couple of times before someone (other protesters) came and brought the guy away.Yeah that’s it
Cheers. Will do.Dr West's book Race Matters is a brilliant read. I'd suggest everyone to check it out. Its still very relevant.
You are literally unreachable, you take everything literally, keep digging around the topics, why do I even try with you anymore is beyond me.Show one post where I condone killing innocent people.
In fact, show one where anyone does.
Whereas you, on the other hand, I can show a couple where you condone the death of billions.
Great post.Look, black Americans are facing violence every fecking day. And not just from angry random citizens but from the very people who are supposed to enforce the law and keep people safe. How goddamn scared do you think you’d feel if the very mechanisms in place to keep law and order treated you like the enemy for no reason other than your skin colour?!
So what do far too many white people, who don’t have to live with this constant fear themselves say? Oh be peaceful! Violence solves nothing! Violence just pollutes the good peaceful protests! Do you think black people haven’t TRIED peaceful protest? They’ve been peacefully protesting since the 1960’s, that’s 60 fecking years of trying to peacefully ask that their kids not be allowed to be murdered by cops.
Should they wait another 60 years? Should they let another generation of black kids grow up having to be warned by their parents that nothing short of complete submission is possible when dealing with law enforcement? That if a cop grabs you, throws you against a wall, calls you racist names, gives you a few punches, that under no circumstances can you even verbally resist, because there’s a good chance you’ll wind up dead on the floor and the police will walk away scot free because it was just another ‘thug’ who was obviously ‘resisting arrest’.
Could you live like that?
I wonder if they are trained to do that or something during their unarmed tactics? It's certainly not something that exists within training in the UK however it does seem a coincidence that it's happening again here under the circumstances.Tweet

Soooo... in the midst of protests caused by an officer’s knee on a man’s neck... this officer has his knee on a man’s neck.
You cannot make this shit up.
That’s not what I said - which is why I said I hope it stays civil.I didn't realise black lives only mattered in the US?
You don't understand the word literal.You are literally unreachable, you take everything literally, keep digging around the topics, why do I even try with you anymore is beyond me.
On the other hand you keep "hunting" me in threads like a psychopath. Bloody hell!
More valuable content to the discussion.This is spectacularly ironic.
Or they’re just a bunch of fecked up bulliesI wonder if they are trained to do that or something during their unarmed tactics? It's certainly not something that exists within training in the UK however it does seem a coincidence that it's happening again here under the circumstances.
The injustice is not exclusive to the US. There are plenty of examples of UK citizens being killed by either police or racists. The UK is just as much a nation built by racism as the US is.That’s not what I said - which is why I said I hope it stays civil.
If this progressed to rioting - that’s would be ridiculous. You don’t riot in the UK / against UK establishment of injustice in the US!
Black lives matter everywhere and people have the right to protest, not use it as an excuse to assemble a mob and trash a city/country totally unrelated to the incident.
A normal person would realise that putting a large amount of pressure on someone's neck is dangerous but it makes you wonder if this is something that are taught to do when pinning someone. @choiboyx012 @Skizzo ?Or they’re just a bunch of fecked up bullies
You have to be a different type of stupid to do this.Tweet

Yeah, those articles say it's only been used in that context by morons on Reddit and Twitter for less than a year. Most people in the UK won't know or care what they're up to.
The poster is clearly referring to you condoning violence and asking for a purge in a single sentence.That is the point, I am on a side of not killing innocent people, you know, common sense and all that? And yeah, I understand irony all right, too bad you couldn't see it.
If coppers were allowed guns as freely as they are in the states it wouldn't be that much different IMO.That’s not what I said - which is why I said I hope it stays civil.

I'm sorry but to compare police brutality in the UK to the US is wrong and very misleading. It's chalk and cheese.The injustice is not exclusive to the US. There are plenty of examples of UK citizens being killed by either police or racists. The UK is just as much a nation built by racism as the US is.
Based on what?If coppers were allowed guns as freely as they are in the states it wouldn't be that much different IMO.
Anecdotal, but a guy my brother went to school with is a county sheriff's deputy now and he said they were taught to use it but only for a few seconds if absolutely necessary... he also said the guy in Minnesota murdered George Floyd.I wonder if they are trained to do that or something during their unarmed tactics? It's certainly not something that exists within training in the UK however it does seem a coincidence that it's happening again here under the circumstances.
I think it's a great gesture from the people who are protesting, but I doubt anything will come of it directly. The US are way too big for other states to interfere. We will see some statements (most of them painfully ambiguous) to get people off their own back and that's it.There are demonstrations outside the US embassies in many countries today, this has shades of the world wide anger against the apartheid regime in South Africa.
This could all be tempered down if either the Twitler or his fat ass AG come out, hold a press conference and announce sweeping measures to regulate police power including body cameras at all times etc but there's a complete abdication of leadership from the government which is happy blaming China, antifa, radical left or whatever else floats the boat for the day.
I honestly don’t think they give a shit anymore (I say anymore but it’s not like they ever did) because there’s no way he doesn’t realise how this looksYou have to be a different type of stupid to do this.
I didn't compare them in terms of police brutality. I'm stating a fact that in the UK there are citizens that have been killed by police or racists. That's a fact.I'm sorry but to compare police brutality in the UK to the US is wrong and very misleading. It's chalk and cheese.
That said racism is a world wide issue though and not just something exclusive to the United States.
That's a good question, in France they have guns and it doesn't happen often. I don't know if the UK are that similar to the US.Based on what?
That's interesting. It's not something we are taught in the UK and I'd be interested to know what the rationale is for having a knee on someone's neck in any training syllabus would be. Is there any cross over with military tactics?Anecdotal, but a guy my brother went to school with is a county sheriff's deputy now and he said they were taught to use it but only for a few seconds if absolutely necessary... he also said the guy in Minnesota murdered George Floyd.
They might want to take "knee to the neck" out of the handbook.
