I shan't. I assume you object to my saying George Floyd was killed by a policeman, as there is nothing else there that might class as 'analysis' to be disagreed with in my book. If that is the case, here are the facts:
George Floyd died after a policeman knelt on his neck for several minutes (8 minutes 46 seconds, according to the New York Times, but that's in brackets as I'm presenting that as hearsay, not fact), whilst Floyd numerous times said he couldn't breathe. The policeman concerned has been charged with second degree murder, so I guess in the 'innocent until proven guilty' stakes I should refrain from calling him a killer unless and until he's convicted, should I
I also questioned whether you had evidence that people care more about George Floyd than Lee Rigby, to which you have offered no response - presumably because no such evidence exists.[/quote]
If that's your opinion then good for you. I think it wise to wait for the trial of the policeman charged in the USA first. If the police are arresting someone with convictions for armed robbery then the Dixon of Dock Green approach may not be good for your health.[/quote]
My last words (I hope) on George Floyd, and then onto the bigger picture. Floyd was being arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit note, not armed robbery.
The armed robbery occurred over 10 years earlier in a different state, so it's questionable whether the officers knew that. Also, I think it is generally accepted that Officer Chauvin was responsible for Floyd's death (i.e. he killed him), and the trial is to establish culpability and intent.
The bigger picture is that the Black Lives Matter protests were about so much more than George Floyd - his death was just the match that lit the fuse. It was about systemic racism in the police. It started in America, then got picked up oin the UK by a similarly named group, but one that does, in fact, unlike the American version, have a socialist agenda, and appears also to have been subject to attempts to hijack the movement by communist agitators. Nevertheless, the protests were about institutional racism. There were no such protests around the death of Lee Rigby, but why would there be? How do you effectively protest against terrorism? If you do, you're actually creating a superb opportunity for those terrorists to attack and kill dozens, if not hundreds. If it were state-sponsored terrorism, and you were protesting say outside the embassy of the country sponsoring the terrorism, then OK, but I don't believe there was any evidence of Lee Rigby's killers being 'state-sponsored terrorists'. At this point the whole analogy between George Floyd and Lee Rigby falls down, because there is frankly no meaningful comparison.[/quote]
Of course they would have known he had a conviction for armed robbery. In any case it's second nature for American criminals to carry guns , so saying to this guy "Your nicked Floyd , it's a fair cop" is likely to end badly for the officer. There isn't an issue that he was killed by the officer so it is up to a court of law to decide on his guilt. The BLM movement in this country has been hijacked by Marxists , not of the Groucho variety and I don't agree with football being used for political purposes. It was always said that no political gestures were allowed. Was it UEFA or FIFA who tried to prevent the England football team having the red poppy on the shirt ? Night after night the BBC news led on the George Floyd killing , and yet when several people were knifed to death in France recently by an Islamic terrorist it was hard to find anything on the BBC news about it until the very end.
Lee Rigby was beheaded in the most gruesome fashion in broad daylight by Islamic terrorists. I think it was what Corbyn and McDonnell used to call "an incident". The BBC finds it very difficult to call such "incidents" murders and terrorism.
) He then exposes that agenda in subsequent posts, I point that out, and strangely I’m the one reeled in?
