Also Toronto and Berlin. This is going to become a global issue.

I hope it does become a global issue, how many more Black Americans are going to die if nothing changes? How can " Death by Cop" be justified?

So Trump is withdrawing from the WHO and threatening to do the same to the G7. How about the grown-ups just proactively disengage with Trump?

it isnt justified, but how is protest in other nations got anything to do with it? we have no responsibilty, nor have any impact in their domestic problems. its only a cause for those that want any cause to take to the streets, expect to see "socialist workers" placards in London.

Ignoring social distancing and shouting I can't breathe. There's definitely a Covid joke in there, but I'm not the one to make it.

Should these riots and protests not have their own thread, by the way? I've a feeling there'll be a few more of both in the coming couple of months.

Thoughts on this?

He wants to postpone the G7, and instead get all the world leaders to take part in some kind of "let's all gang up on China" charade, deliberately timed to bolster his dick-waving election campaign.

What I'm struggling with are the twats causing criminal damage and looting, that is not protesting, it's nonsense. :shrug:

He could well be electioneering, but let's face it. While shutting its own country down, China essentially exported coronavirus to the world while the WHO said this was fine, world without borders, nothing to see here. The Chinese Communist leaders and the WHO deserve the opprobrium.

It's an excuse to cause trouble and/or indulge in the usual anti-western, anticapitalist nonsense.

Quite possibly, there's a lot to unpack, from generational slavery through to the militarisation of the police and their institutional racism.

But it's always going to come back to Trumpet.
This has been his agenda since his campaign and every step of the way since he's failed to disprove claims of being a racist.

WHO was telling the world to stop travelling and implement track and trace. China weren't exporting virus, people move about and the world chose to let that continue. lets not pin this on one nation. and lets not distract from Trump's particularly cackhanded approach to the virus, objectively worse than all others.

Trump just adds to the shite, but America in my opinion will always have a problem with racism, it seems to be ingrained in a rather large portion of the population sadly.

It ain't going to change in my lifetime.

My one rule for enjoying Twitter is:-

'Don't read below the line'.

But every once in a while I'll see something requiring further investigation, here's a case in point

After the MAGA hat wearer has stirred just some yogurt knitters (like myself) the main cause for debate seems to be whether your porch is private or public property.

Not the tank.
Not the 100 strong National Guard.
Not the paramilitary uniforms
Not the yee-ha bravado
Not the silence of the street.
Not the shooting.

No they want to talk about porches.

Cops need to look at the rules. I've got too much time on my hands...

If correct, then he is in trouble with Anonymous given what they are claiming (and what they have achieved).
