Will You Be Bending The Knee?

[david small]

An anti-racism campaign group is urging Britons to “take the knee” on their doorsteps for a socially distanced protest in solidarity with protesters in the US.

Stand Up to Racism (SUTR) has organised the protest for 6pm on Wednesday as part of a day of action against discrimination in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

I won’t.

That'll teach you to vaguely resemble somebody you'd ever even met...

The police need to be held to the highest of standards. There can be no excuses for Floyd's death. The fact of his arrest and the conduct of it are, and must be, treated as separate events.

//good job I didn't resist the arrested or else it would have served me right if I had ended up ever so dead.//

Pfft, too right. Going around resembling someone else. You bring it on yourself Roy.

[ponkle]

Definitely not

[tomus42]

Really, anyone trying to be an apologist for that cop doing what he did should be ashamed of themselves.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Lucky officer. Great news.

[naomi24]

So ... did anyone do it?

[Bobbisox1]

Not that I’ve heard Naomi,

Good news about Officer Shay Mikalonis, I hope he recovers well.

There can be no doubt that these riots and looting are doing nothing in the name of George Floyd and others who have suffered, rather the opposite.

I did as I said I would yesterday and paid silent reflection.

[naomi24]

Did you go outside as requested?

[Mamyalynne]

I did not go outside, haven't been outside for a long time.

[naomi24]

Right ..

[maggiebee]

I abhor racism in any way, shape or form but certainly won't be "bending the knee".

[TheWholeTruth]

so people are saying the police deliberately killed him because he was black and wouldnt have done the same to a white ?

[ToraToraTora]

so hating the English for no other reason than their place of birth isn't racist then? Right oh!

[maggiebee]

TTT it's not all about the English!!

He has now been charged 2nd degree murder, and three other officers with aiding and abetting murder.

No but it is about hating people because of the country they are from. You claim to "abhor" racism, yet you practice it yourself.

[Bobbisox1]

What’s hate?
I detest but have never hated

Please explain that statement TTT
