Idiotic imo doing this during a pandemic when its not related to the UK (people can show support in other much safer ways) - I hope they dont catch the virus and regret being so stupid.

It does relate to the UK though.

Just because one bloke had a banner it makes it accurate? I mean if he could provide information and the names of the 1500+ unlawful murders incidents - Mark Duggan for example was I believe ruled a legal homicide and that an illegal handgun was found at the scene.
Also I believe the gentleman shot in the midst of the 7/7 bombings was Portuguese and not black (was awful that but its unfair to make out it was some racist cop when they were looking for the failed bombers that tried attacking the city shortly after the initial attack and seemed an all around awful error).
Also if white people havent the right to an opinion on this as some say then why are there more white protesters there than black?
Irresponsible and I hope if someone does pick up the virus in that crowd that its them that deals with the consequences and not some poor sod that they pass it on too.
That can't be right, there's no institutionalised racism in America and it's all in black communities' heads
In 1997 the Macpherson report ruled that the London met police force was institutionally racist. If anything society has got more racist since then. Not sure why this is so hard to understand tbh.
Nah.
I recall a case in far North Texas where 10% of the entire African-American population of a small town (39 of ~400) was arrested for drug offenses in one month based on the testimony of one undercover officer. Turns out he was a racist piece of sh*t liar and Gov. Rick Perry had to overturn convictions and drop pending charges.

1997 was a long time ago mate and society hasnt gotten more racist certainly not in the UK.
Stick to hunting deluded Geordies on twitter Jim bud lol
The UK has one of the most laidback police force in the world bar a small minority as with everywhere in life - if people are genuinely trying to make out they are some brutal racist killing force God help them if they saw how cops carry on in the US, Russia, China, most of middle east, Spain, France, Italy, Eastern Europe...
This is serious but I can't help but chuckle about "far North Texas." Do you mean panhandle or are you talking about Denton?
Just curious, how old are you mate?

Young enough mate to not have been around in the 70's and 80's when racism was much worse, prevalent and sadly accepted in UK society.
To suggest its worse now than it was back then is being disingenuous.

London protest today is disgraceful
Who ever said white people don't have the right to an opinion on this.
There are probably more white people marching because it's a problem caused by white people and they see this as an opportunity to be part of the solution.
As for covid, I'm conflicted on that, I haven't marched myself but I don't judge those that do. (at least I try not to)
replaced by xenophobia probably.
Mate there’s numerous accurate threads which are properly researched on twitter, and there are plenty of resources to research black people being killed by cops in the UK, of which there is a significant amount.
here is one of such threads:
Also in most photos I’ve seen the protests seem to be a mix of ethnicities.
No one has said white people don’t have the right to an opinion if it is well informed but white people generally do not have first hand experience of what black people have.
