How all you Americans doing today?
Anyone wants a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
You have a choice between white or brown bread or your new favourite, best of both.

Imagine BLF gains traction from that clip and becomes a worldwide movement
The only comment mentioning the openly white hating BLF has 9 upvotes. Compare that with the top post which is 1.1K upvotes.
The video has 100K views. That is 0.009% of people who care.
People don't care about truth anymore. Even news agencies that are supposed to be impartial don't

London braces for chaos as hooligans threaten clashes with BLM
Police chiefs imposed the 5pm curfew in a bid to quell the unrest seen throughout the day as the anti-racist rally and a pro-statue counter-protest descended into hooliganism in London.
Khan now re-writing history for his political ends. Mate, the people defacing the statue were the BLM thugs last weekend. Trash mayor!

Yes, because most Americans have half a brain and realise that defunding the police will lead to increased crime in those defunded areas. And guess what, no one wants that.... apart from the stupid, like those living the dream in CHAZ......
That doesn't take away from the fact that the US police have become militarised and THAT needs to be addressed, but you don't throw the baby out with the bath water. You seek solutions to the problem.

Someone else mentioned it that they are acting like a child that didn't get their way and are having a hissy fit (taking over the city).
Now that they have their zone they are just acting like children and doing stupid chit.

Just like I said earlier in this thread.
No no, don't end it just yet, I'm really curious as to how this will play out. Like watching a building collapse or someone stepping on a rake. Makes for good TV.

New York Governor Cuomo signs sweeping police reform bills
Reform measures that had languished for years moved with new urgency in the wake of protests over George Floyd's death.
www.aljazeera.com
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law on Friday a sweeping package of police accountability measures, including one allowing the release of officers' long-withheld disciplinary records, that received new backing following protests over George Floyd's killing.
The measures were approved earlier this week by the state's Democratic-led legislature. Some of the bills had been proposed in years past and failed to win approval, but lawmakers moved with new urgency in the wake of massive, nationwide demonstrations over Floyd's death at the hands of police in Minneapolis.
"Police reform is long overdue, and Mr. Floyd's murder is only the most recent murder," Cuomo, a Democrat, said.
Cuomo was joined at the signing ceremony by the Reverend Al Sharpton, Valerie Bell, the mother of Sean Bell, who was killed by an officer in 2006, and Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, who was killed by police in New York in 2014.
"It was a long time coming, but it came," Carr said.
The laws will ban police chokeholds, make it easier to sue people who call police on others without good reason, and set up a special prosecutor's office to investigate the deaths of people during and following encounters with police officers.
"These bills mean some substantive change, so that we won't be sitting here going over this after the next funeral and after the next situation," Sharpton said.
Some bills, including body camera legislation, drew support from Republicans, who opposed legislation that repealed a state law long used to block the release of police disciplinary records over concerns about officers' privacy.
Eliminating the law, known as Section 50-a, would make complaints against officers, as well as transcripts and final dispositions of disciplinary proceedings, public for the first time in decades.
New York Police Department spokesperson Sgt Jessica McRorie said the department "will review the final version of the legislation and utilise it in a manner that ensures greater transparency and fairness".
