Any outrage?

https://youtu.be/Z9FPYyjcgb4

Nah.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Outrageous.

also, total deflection.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And this...

But, yeah, let's ignore it. 👍
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ignore what? It seems like the people have been arrested and will likely get charged. Good.

We don’t tend to get outraged when people get appropriate punishment for their evil actions. It’s outrageous when the perpetrator gets off scot-free.

Posting irrelevant links to black people committing crimes just misses the point, and shows us what you are.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So they cops haven't been charged with George Floyd death?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eventually they were after a week of mass protests and riots. However nobody has been convicted yet, so let’s see how THAT goes.

We’ve been here before.

And try not to see white people as the enemy all the time, especially if you are white and privileged yourselves.

Think about it.

He must be racist.

There’s a word (or quite a few words) for people like him that I won’t use here.

No ifs, no buts.....

Dudes I live in 98% white NI and am not a fragile white guy, lol.

Stop being silly and debate like educated adults, not playground children.

Fragile ego has nothing to do with physicality.

Cops not getting prosecuted isn't just a black thing. Tony Timpa and Justine Damond had the same fate.

I didn’t say it was.

Cops kill and beat and jail innocent white people all the time.

Black rioters killed black cops and a black retired police chief in America, but there were few if any words,or protests for dead black cops.

White BLM guys beat up a black cop...now that is some irony.

I thought it was a bit weird when I first heard people were doing this. Floyd died from someone compressing his neck with their knee....and their way of commemorating him is using their knees.

Police Brutality in the USA is off the scale regardless of race, creed or colour.
It just so happens to disproportionately effect black people, hence, Black Lives Matter!

FFS years into this and its still having to be spelled out!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
One cop has so far, he still is projected to receive his police pension, doesn’t really seem like justice. The other three haven’t had anything determined yet.

However that isn’t the point:
Firstly, that’s a police officer, not civilians who you are talking about. Different.
Secondly, what about the hundreds of other instances of people not being charged. Breonna Taylor for example. Different.
Thirdly, we are talking about the rule not the exception here. Not one off hate crimes committed, but thousands of continual hate crimes per year. Different.

I’m still trying to work out if your on the WUM or just not particularly clever.

Cops should not shoot or kill black guys...end of.

Slavery was wrong and racism exists in society today still.

Let's not fight between black and white though.

We are all equal and should work together, not as enemies based on accident of birth.

It’s symbolism is powerful. Also highlights the Kaepernick hypocrisy.

It’s a bit weird to use that example as evidence of anything. White people disagree with white people about many things too. This black guy was lucky enough to (in his own words) never experience racism. He’s speaking for himself. I’m sure I could post 10 times as many videos of Black people who say the opposite.
