George Floyd death

[OrbitalDawn]

Some interesting ideas here:

Unbundle the Police

American policing is a gnarl of overlapping services that should be demilitarized and disentangled.

I apologise for briefly thinking you might be genuinely interested in exploring the topic.

On your knees yet? Have you apologized for constantly trolling with propaganda and Fake News™?

Congratulations leftists. The ministry of Truth has decided what you may or may not find funny.

Perhaps more likely to have been the reason for the episode's deletion are racist terms used by the hotel's elderly, doddering resident Major Gowen in relation to a cricket match. This is despite even the argumentative, short-tempered Fawlty calling him out on his use of the language, outdated even by the time of the programmes mid-70s production.

Fawlty Towers deleted by UKTV - British Comedy Guide

An episode of Fawlty Towers has been removed from UKTV's streaming service amidst growing racial-cultural arguments.

It is actually something that is done in modern "no till" market gardening.

Layer cardboard, then thick layer of compost. It's enough to kill the grass underneath, and the roots will grow down through the cardboard.

But this is quite funny.

I know if you try to go slowly in your head, you might realise that it could be both.



I dunno, my Soros meeting was at the same time as the ANC one, so I had to skip it. What did your friends in the KKK say?

Or it could be none of them, ever thought of that?

Useful rejoiner for the 'muh crime rates' folks.

A look at the findings of 160+ studies into racial bias in the criminal justice system.

Even controlling for crime rates, class and income, racial bias infects every nook and cranny of our courts, prisons, jails and police stations

How does one "control" for 13-15% commiting 50+% of violent crime ?
You can't do it , racial bias makes a way smaller contribution than people would think , unless of course you have videos of every arrest and judgement and the majority of them have cops and judges saying they are doing x because of the person's race.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Fools never differ.

I completely agree with you.

While the black rioters, steal fridges and toasters and blame it on a George Floyd "protest".

Not just black rioters. Many of them are white. It's communist ideology more than skin colour.

Craig, it was horrible what that white cop did, but this has gone way past that now. You see no issue with looting for flat screen TV's and nike airmax?

It's possible to disapprove of both you know.

Another horrible aspect of this incident - 2 of the cops were rookies with less than a week on the job. The meathead that killed Floyd was their training officer.

That makes it a bit more understandable actually.

Completely ignores ?
No , I want it explained in layman's terms by the poster , how they understand the "control" factor.
The 13% of pop. Engaging in 50% of violent crime is an actual stat , you realise stats aren't racist right ?
A bit early for you to have your head out the sand isn't it ?

Dem white guilt bags are heavy. So heavy.

White guilt is a red flag for a closeted White Supremacist.

It's all in the article. Don't be so lazy

I love watching boomer videos. They always have such innocent humour in them.

Man, American news is...interesting.
Funny how people worldwide still think CNN is legitimate. Yeah, because the CNN we get is CNN International, not CNN US.

It's not worth the effort arguing with people who can only have one thought at a time.

Reason i stopped arguing with you.

Another guy was killed the same way by cops it seems, wonder how many people this has happened to in the US

2:36 is the one

 

[Moosedrool]

Why do you think the USA has Trump? Because he was so good? Thing is these types don't get it, they never learn.

And in other news: Cops attack woman, she wants them arrested!!

These are the type of nut cases we're dealing with.

It's the burying of stuff like this by the media, and viral social posts by people lying about police targeting them for being black, that gets us to where we are today.
