Anyone watch the scenes outside the white house last night. Trump has declared war on America and likens himself to God.

It's a tragedy for Mr. Floyd, his family and friends, it's also a tragedy for those who care. A large number jumping on the bandwagon already had a chip on their shoulders.

Unfortunately, and sadly, there are always too many professional agitators desperate to stir up trouble 'for the man' and don't see anything wrong with using ethnicity as a rocket fuse.

They fall for it every time and it's beginning to happen here, now. Witness the sudden interest in the numbers of solely BAME Covid patients. They will be used negatively and irrespective of any considerations that should be taken into account apart from cold numbers. Of course, anybody who dares to call it out will be pounced on. That's a very dangerous game with no purpose other than the obvious.

Saw a Youtube clip earlier of two police officers arresting a protester.
One had him pinned down on the floor with his knee on his neck!

It was only when people around were shouting at him, his colleague actually knocked his knee off.
Clearly, the police have learned nothing!!

American Police are very different to our Police, the last time I was there I asked one for directions and anybody would have thought I was being rude to him. His reply was something like I am not a guide and pointed the way I needed to go.

The problem is because everybody is aloud to carry guns the police need to be on the defence straight away as they could end up being dead, there have even been cases of people committing motoring offences have shot the police person pulling them over

.

I am not saying what has happened is correct in any way but because the police need to restrain potential criminals a lot firmer some of there techniques are potentially lethal.

What had he been arrested for anyway?

Trying to spend a suspected fake dollar note, AFAIK.
