Do most republicans really support the protests? yes. what happened to floyd was horrid. what we don't support was the rioting, arson, and looting. well, the media did or made excuses for it. after all, the journalists were safe and wealthy. it wasn't their neighborhoods being torched. |

"There's a reason why the police fire treat protesters so badly. They know that if they provoke a fight"
yeah, all those bricks and rocks bouncing off their heads is a real provocation. not to mention the molotov cocktails.

Rolfe's Stepmother Fired From Job"Rolfe was promised that her job was safe, but today she was told, and we're quoting, 'We have to terminate our relationship with you.' No other explanation was offered," "Apparently…[her] only crime was being officer Rolfe's stepmother." "But notice something missing? They don’t state what she allegedly did. The statement is heavy on the ‘she made people feel uncomfortable’ stuff but missing any facts. The last sentence is particularly interesting, where they say that they “respect Melissa’s personal views” but “when those views create a hostile working environment.” So they fired her for views they respect that created a hostile work environment? Really? Do tell." www.redstate.com/nick-arama/2020/06/19/this-is-where-our-country-is-going-stepmom-of-atl.-officer-who-shot-rayshard-brooks-is-fired-from-her-job/

If so that’s what happens when you have such a stupid law. |

Sounds very random, a single bloke running round getting stabby, at least they collared him.
Though everyone said it was ages after the peaceful protest and nowt to do with it. Though I'm not surprised you conflated the two mind

No I'm not, but you know, more than one thing can happen in a park on any given day. I'm just quoting what dibble and others who were there said.

Wonder if it will be "we must root out the far right!" or teddies, candles and don't look back in anger?

They've all been removed from public display after the last outrage when a white man used one to brutally repress a member of the BAME community who was doing nothing wrong and whose mother described him as a "kind, humble boy" who lived a blameless life. |

"Hundreds of people staged an anti-racism rally in Glasgow city centre despite appeals to stay away due to the lockdown restrictions. Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf, the city council and Police Scotland had called on the public not to gather for the Say No To Racism demonstration. There was a heavy police presence in the square following violent scenes from a far-right group on Wednesday." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-53120070Oooh. "Hundreds" out of a population of 1.2M. Speaks volumes. And I bet you that this would have really been a Green Lives Matter event, making some whiney sectarian grizzle. |

Reading stabbings: Police declare the three killings a terror incident.
Quote from a local: The attack "doesn't seem right for Reading".
"It's multicultural and really friendly. I was really shocked when I heard the news".
A block of flats on Basingstoke Road in Reading was raided by more than a dozen armed police officers carrying shields at about 23:00 BST on Saturday.
About an hour and a half after they entered, a loud bang was heard at the scene, after which several of the armed officers left.
Craig O'Leary, chairman of the Thames Valley Police Federation, said the "swift action" of officers at the scene prevented "potentially more lives from being lost".
"There are barely words to describe their bravery - officers who ran towards danger with the sole thought of protecting the public we serve," he said.
One officer "rugby tackled" the suspect to the ground, according to a report in the Sunday Mirror.
