Global, and not just politicians, but the people.

Power corrupts.

Of course it does. However, based on this video snippet, it is 100% clear that this guy is merely being restrained. Absolutely, no relationship to the deal that went down with George Floyd.

Good read

"We’re watching an intellectual revolution undertaken by a cowardly mob of upper-class social media addicts - Twitter Robespierres who move from discipline to discipline torching reputations and jobs with breathtaking casualness."

So........now that icons that are historically associated with slavery are being torn down, can we expect all U.S. Democratic Party political statues to be torn down with them?

It shows an ignorance of the party system, but sure.

Have you just decided to take on a more nuanced view of the world?

That's encouraging.

Not at all. But it helps everyone if we start reading each other’s posts rather than emoting.

Indeed, and good luck.

**** me. Look at the comments under this tweet. Case in point if I ever saw it

The bloke who’s declared himself the leader is a gangster. No surprises there.

Whenever there is a vacuum of power, thugs fill that void. We usually call it government.

The cops shot and killed a black man in Atlanta last night. They shot him in the back as he ran away after resisting arrest. He was unarmed. ****.

Any white folks get killed by cops anywhere in the world in the last 24 hours?

Probably. In the context of what’s happening over there at the moment I thought it was pretty relevant as it will likely inflame the situation. It’s all on camera.

The bloke was drunk driving and parked at a fast food joint to sleep it off, the cops came and got him out of the car and at some point the situation turned.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Probably.

Okay, I understand the irrelevance.

Who the **** shoots someone in the back, as they are running away? That's intent to kill right there. Shoot him in the legs, or arse. Bring him down.

Any police officer who shoots someone like that, regardless of what has gone on to lead up to it, should be charged with murder.

Of course not. They're invested in racism.
