A good few of the Blacks killed in similar circumstances have been gangsters. The protesters make life a little more comfortable for the drug dealers for a while, so the police back off. PC Keith Blakelock was hacked to death whilst on duty. No whites rioted.
People protest, when it suits them. But remember, a lot of UK police don't have guns. They can be violent to Blacks. Racism can be everywhere from one ethnic group to another. The UK police have a great record compared to USA, France and almost everywhere else. I cannot see why there is hysteria towards the police in the UK right now in lockdown. It is potty.
No whites Rioted ?

Tottenham was full of white people rioting with black people , not against them.

Great way of turning the public against your cause, unfortunately. Still, should wind up a few far right types. Could get naughty in the next few weeks

I think that would wind up many normal people, never mind the 'far right'.

There's no hysteria from me towards our Police.

The vast majority of coppers do a very good job; in ever-increasing, difficult circumstances.

However, there is clearly an element who believe themselves to be outside of the law. So irrespective of whether you are Left- wing, Right- wing or even completely down the middle, this cannot be condoned.

How does damaging statues solve racism?

The time statues come down is just as important as when they go up. It normally signals a change in morals or understanding, new information or to support cause.

Saying Churchill was a racist isn't anything extraordinary. Saying Edward Colston's all round legacy doesn't deserve permanent memory isn't unfair. It's not Auschwitz. A bigger lesson is learned in taking it down than keeping it up.

Imagine, 80 years ago, someone put up a statue of Oswald Moseley in Golders Green. Imagine now how Jews would feel..... They wouldn't want to be walking past that every day. Well that's how black people feel walking past a statue of Edward Colston.

Calm down Snowflake, don’t get offended. It’s not that hard to imagine who’d be offended by what, even you should be able to fathom that.

People’s instincts after a black man is murdered by police is to smash up shops, beat up defenceless women and deface statues?

Ah, a white man telling other races what they should be offended by.

Amazing :D

Wonder if any of the people posting a version of ‘I don’t understand why they are protesting/why they are smashing things up/risking getting covid’ realised that they might be part of the problem?

If just one has, and thought about why they don’t understand, it would be progress.

Don’t hold out much hope though, sadly.

And regardless, no ones telling anyone what they should be offended why. The people who pulled down the statue are :)

If you think the timeline to this is simply;

George Floyd Killed ------------ Riots, smashed up shops etc

Then you are being obtuse or are very, very thick.

I believe the point is that no one rioted to protest against Blakelock being hacked to death by rioters.

In the same way that I have not noticed anyone saying that the policewomen being injured yesterday was wrong.
