    America: Want to know what's wrong with your country? Consider the fact that you

    welcomed this festering cancer to your shores and allowed him to metastasise.

    Honestly, this is the most nauseating thing I've seen since the 1991 cup semi final.

    Skip to the last 30 seconds if you - understandably - can't bear the whole thing.

    It's genuinely inexplicable that he's not been rumbled for the egregious, simpering, bandwagon-jumping little cünt that he is.

    Fair point, la.

    America, ignore everything I just said. He's a great lad and you should never let him go. Ever.

    Jesus, what an utter ****. He failed to mention the rap sheet a mile long, the resisting arrest, the attack, beating and robbery at gunpoint carried out by Floyd on a pregnant black woman. This wasn't a race issue, it was a police vs low-life scum issue, no matter what color. No he didn't deserve to die, and the situation was badly handled, but Floyd is hardly blameless in said outcome. The FBI investigation will lead to justice being served, though i'm not sure how it is grounds for helping oneself to a new TV.

    ‘This wasn’t a race issue’

    I’m afraid the only logical conclusion here is that you are a moron. My commiserations.

    It's a race issue only insofar as it took place in a hyper-racialised context. First and foremost it's actually a police misconduct issue.

    If the police misconduct occurs disproportionately against blacks it becomes a racial issue.

    Although it was his attempt to apportion some of the blame to George Floyd that I found really offensive. As I said, he’s a moron.

    Is he a septic?

    But it doesn't occur 'disproportionately' to black people. It occurs in pretty much exactly the proportions you'd expect it to occur relative to the size of populations and their relative likelihood to commit violent crime.
    Do young black men have reason to be wary of cops in the US? Yes.
    Do cops have just as much (if not more) reason to be wary of young black men in the US. Abso-f@cking-lutely. They are much more likely to be killed by a young black male, so guess what? They tend to treat young black males with much more suspicion and more robustly. As a result, young black men harbour ever more anger and resentment towards the police and behave in ways much more likely to bring them to the attention of the police. And so it goes on...

    This is a vicious cycle that is only going to be made worse by treating it as a racial issue.
