There will always be the lucky few born into prosperity , for the rest of us we have to work hard for our rewards.

If you don’t know the answer to that, I’m afraid you are part of the problem.

Does he not deserve a fair trial?

There’s no excuse for all the looting etc of course, but if the four cops had been arrested immediately and charged then a lot of the trouble probably wouldn’t have happened.

Stating these facts doesn’t make me a racist. Facts are facts.

Perhaps the wanted to look into the situation before charging. Because there was a short delay does not mean the matter was being ignored. Due process probably meant they wanted to get hold of all the evidence, speak to witnesses, interview the officers, no doubt who will have wanted to appoint lawyers first, take statements and determine whether there was a case to answer. Having done the preparation they charged the guy.

Is anybody suggesting charges should be made before taking stock of all the evidence? Not following due process could lead to the officers getting off because the correct procedures were not followed. Imagine the outcome if that happened.

Redcard has given a right wing view that millions of people in this country hold. Nothing more. Banning him/her is daft. Oh well, the left still not learned any lessons and wonder why nobody votes for them.
