    Polite request to the mods - this is obviously a very very serious thread and all reasonable opinions should be welcome. But with this thread, for obvious reasons, I hope trolling wont be tolerated.

    I'd go seek help fordy this lockdown isn't doing you any favours. You come on here just to rant about things but if the club start doing it you still rant. I wouldn't say you had ambition I'd say more fantasy going on in your head.

    To be honest I don't care. What I do see is that killing of a man black by a copper is disgusting. What I do see is Black people getting a harder time in life. I see this!

    Now, people can choose to ignore or make a difference.

    Sorry, but I am stuggling with this thread. The mods need to question is it's coming across a bit racist rather than if someone is trolling.

    I hope racism won't be tolerated.

    The thread isn't about George now and is clearly going into dangerous directions.

    I get that and agree but if it was me and I was from that background I’d be taking a lot more care than they are right now in massive groups all herded together

    racism meaning .....prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
    Unless someone on here identifies themself as being white or black or any other in between then it will be hard to claim any level of racism exists on here.

    No one else has struggled with this thread, theres been no racism or obvious attempts to wind anyone up or be obnoxious. As long as it stays that way, this is an important discussion and will hopefully continue.

    I agree, as - given the majority BAME attendance -statistically it's likely that there'll be a higher than average level of infection present.

    Point is we know way they're protesting.

    Covid lockdown is done.. it was done when people up and down the country were going to the beach.

    So let them protest and we go from there. Least they're trying to make a difference and send out a message.

    Good watch says it all about deaths that don't get media coverage.

    Bravo. The police have a tremendously difficult job, even more so in the US given the widespread access to firearms. Blue lives matter.

    The guy is obviously emotional, maybe some don't want to hear the facts.

    I wonder how many people will see these mass gatherings and think 'its pointless me continuing to make the sacrifice of not seeing my family', and arrange get togethers? Hard to blame them.

    I don't see the crowds being angrily told off by our leadership. The game is up.
