"We hope the US government will take concrete measures to fulfil its obligations under the international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination to protect the legal rights of minorities," said Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry. China "always opposes racial discrimination", Zhao added. The cheeky bastards really. Talk about sticking the boot in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get back to work ffs Went for walk yesterday and saw 3 groups of teens 6 to 10 strong clearly not following the rules. There’s seems to be a growing number who either think there are no rules or couldn’t give a rats arse about them. I guess it’ll prove whether we’re over doing the restrictions or any blip will be a lot bigger than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, it's not anywhere near comparable. I know we like to complain about our society becoming too 'American' but there are still vast differences between us.

Wtf are you on about, as many white people die in this country as black all guilty of a serious offence, if you are threatening with a gun or even a knife, i have the upmost respect for OUR police force to do the right thing! And if that means killing them yes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first six months of 2015 were each higher than our figure over thirty years. It’s not just the systemic racism or police brutality. The elephant in the room in this whole debate is that America is an overwhelmingly violent country. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a blanket reaction. Some will have provoked a response, but was it a reasonable response to gas and physically assault large groups of people that were there?

If seem you just Dont get it...!!!! I think you misunderstand me. I'm well aware our police have a problem with disproportionately targeting BAME citizens (ie. the stop & search debacle), I just don't believe they have a problem with unlawfully killing them but I stand to be corrected on that. My only issue with the protest is it's bound to spread the virus a bit more. Edited 3 June 2020 by Carl the Llama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The elephant in the room in this whole debate is that America is an overwhelmingly violent country. And that is an understatement. They Nuked Japan, not once but twice (yet you rarely hear them being condemned for it or for the Vietnam war). They started a war that destabilized a whole region for almost 20-years now based on lies just to get the oil. They hired Nazis and pardoned that Japanese group that was doing experiments on the Chinese people so they can get their research, they tried to destabilize south america, and the list goes on. The writing was always on the wall with them. Edit: just to clarify, what I wanted to say is, the US government has no problem committing Crimes on the international stage so it isn't surprising that their ways leak to their domestic scene. If they have no problem using drones against civilians they will hardly feel guilty when abusing their citizens if they think said citizens don't conform to their ideology.
