Andrew 4774 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Worth noting that the likes of George Floyd won't show up on that graph, he wasn't shot to death by police, he was suffocated by them and he isn't the only one. There's a reason "I can't breathe" has been chanted and on signs across the US. Neither will Ahmaud Arbrey, who was chased down in a pickup truck and shot for jogging while being black, which would have been completely written off if one of them hadn't been stupid enough to record and release a video of the whole thing. Breonna Taylor possibly will but then, how many white EMTs are going to go to bed tonight concerned that unmarked and unsanctioned police are going to illegally break into their houses and murder them? Those officers haven't even been fucking arrested. In the UK the government has suppressed a report into BAME deaths of coronavirus for "fears it could stoke racial tension" what does that tell you about its contents? Its only 2 years since Windrush ffs. These stories(among many) and the fact that both governments have utterly fucked the response to coronavirus were begging for civil disobedience at some point and it is absolutely necessary. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44996 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It's plain to see that this bloke is mentally ill. You wouldn't accept a lift home off him and yet there he is, in the White House. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42484 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 If Trump shows up at the next presser with KFC, a fishing rod, and 6 cans of Fosters we’re in deep shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 For context, the 2 police officers who pushed him over have been charged with assault. Huge protests over police brutality of black people, and Trump is defending police charged with brutality of an OAP It’s not even surprising anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinRobin 11313 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 And the officers remaining on that special unit resigned from the unit in support of those officers. Clearly they felt that it was acceptable behaviour and they should not have been stood down, never mind prosecuted. John Oliver was pretty brutal on the police in his programme this week. Raised some very valid points, and quite scary how the police react to any sort of external oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing seems impossible at present If he’s going to do it then this will how it’ll be done. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52984537 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44996 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The Trump campaign threatened to sue CNN for publishing a poll showing him way behind Biden. This is CNN's response. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44996 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I've just bought David Frum's book Trumpocalypse. He was on Matt Forde's Political Party podcast recently and was a class listen. Recommend that podcast btw if people don't already listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44996 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Apparently they were saying similar about Clinton at this point in 2016, but surely this time will be different. I think Michael Moore might be right about Trump trying to move the election if they get a second spike (which they look like they're getting).
