    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?
    Personally I find it absolutely shocking that the biggest killer of young black males in the US is the police!

    Wait. Hold on. No it isn't. It's other young black males.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to demonstrate against, you know, young black males?

    A situation, of course, which is perpetuated by the persistent demonisation of the police, which makes it harder to police black communities because there is less co-operation from the populace. So you get lawlessness and a sense of lack of consequences, which makes murder much, much more likely.

    I’m afraid the only logical conclusion here is that you are a moron. My commiserations.
    You did actually watch the arrest didn't you? There was NOTHING racially motivated in it whatsoever. The officers involved are from different ethnic backgrounds. It was not a race issue, it was an over aggressive, somewhat bungled arrest of a criminal.
    You are the ****ing moron, moron. The only racist people at play here seem to be the black thugs doing what the **** they like and blaming the whites. The same whites that ended the slave trade, the one that had blacks selling blacks...

    Moron.

    I'm fairness, it does occur disproportionately to me. The one and only time I ever fronted up to a policeman, I promptly married her

    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.
