Protesting is fine and having your say is fine what has happened not just on this occasion but on many more is disgusting, but if someone dies from rioting looting or setting fire to things then that person is no better than the officer or person that has been racist, while I understand it has happened now the social distancing at the London protest has also put peoples lives at risk
The overriding memory of visiting the Southern United States for me, was that there is far more racial segregation over there than here. There are black areas, there are white areas, there isn't a lot of mixing. The other noticeable difference was the attitude of the police, there was a real 'respect my authority' uptightness about them. It felt like they wanted to be seen to be laying down the law all the time. Not at all like the community policing in the UK.the US claims to be a melting pot but really, for me it gets nowhere near London in that respect.
Yes I had a few friendly wotds with a mounted officer once after his horse decided to to step on my foot
Your last line is one of the few non-football things you have posted that I actually agree with.All lives do matter.
