I was just making assumption that with increasing probability of being confronted by police increases the probability of killings by police.

This whole point is...there shouldnt be ANY killings by police, no matte how many people encounter them

if it turned out to be proved that actually 8 times as many whites died in police custody than blacks 

the left would just say but they were white and so not racist killings 

 

if it turned out also that in that 8 times amount a couple of whites were killed by black officers they woudnt count either

 

And does it?

Spot on.

First they come for the statue, then the person...

Remove the man, remove the problem...

Very Orwellian...very Ministry of Truth...

An irony seemingly lost on on the muppets out protesting (in the middle of a health crisis).

 

The Far Left are just as much a joke as the Far Right.

 

Thankfully this is a moderate country and nobody will ever vote for these morons.

 

If you don't like the statue, have a local referendum, get some democratic legitimacy and move it to a museum if required.

Don't simply destroy it in 30 seconds - like you just destroyed your cause.

 

 

So we should have left up all the jimmy savile stuff then?

It wan't ripped down by a lawless mob while  the 'social distancing' rules of a pandemic apply, a subject which you have been commenting about to the contrary, on an almost daily basis in the Coronavirus thread for the last couple of months !

Why stop just there? The whole point could be... there shouldn't be ANY crime.

I do indeed have concerns about social distancing at these protests. 

 

I wait with some interest to see what happens when the football starts again.

 

And it's nice to have a fan and know somebody is reading my posts!
