Love to see it!

Their message has my support, however I can't condone a mass breaking of lock down rules when we're still in the grips of a COVID-19 outbreak.

There's a stark possibility that this gathering has the capacity to kill many more lives than it may save.

Bells, every last one of them.

"He's a fraud" is the most ridiculous conclusion I've ever read regarding Kaepernick.

I believe I was talking about his NFL ability. If you can read.

True then, its honestly very unattractive to be hate filled.. Just some friendly advice

Define "Hate"

To be fair, he was lucky to get away with just a punch. It's brave to try and grab a gun from a cop in riot gear.

It was a well deserved punch. You cannot do that to a cop lol. Wtf

Love to see it!

BAME people ignoring social distancing while being the most at risk group for covid-19, and you're loving it?

Sort of blokes who think cuz they grew up in a council estate in Landon they are gangsta's and call the police "pigs" etc despite our and US society / police being chalk and cheese.

Not saying there isnt racism in the UK but some of these folk are proper wannabes who think they come from some projects in Baltimore.

That and little miss Fiona - 19 year old white girl from some 4 bed leafy superb in Essex thinking she's some inspiration to others cuz she's "slumming it up".

 

[dandydan]

Clearly the solution is for more white lads who haven't a clue about racism on a level that affects your every day to action, to arrogantly instruct minorities of when they have the right to be outraged

 

[Grinch]

Can't see how anyone can justify the protests in London, risking a pandemic spike.

Oh you didn’t hear the CoronaVirus is over now. We can now get in groups of over 10k. Magically disappeared

Peckham protests over George Floyd killing as riots rage across US

Protesters gathered in south London on Saturday to speak out against the death of unarmed African-American man George Floyd.

We prefer to just make the likes of beaches look like a riot has happened without actually doing the hard work.

thats burning my head out that. Vile animals being let loose

You can be appalled at systematic racism and also be appalled by opportunistic looting and disorder. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Massively missed the point here.

Of course there are those amongst the protesters who’s intentions are nothing to do with the death of George Floyd.

But given the Police being responsible for that death, for them to be complicit in further escalating the situation is reprehensible.

We’ve seen footage of them arresting and firing pepper rounds at members of the press, pepper spraying first aides, shield bashing an elderly man with a walking stick to the ground and there’s even a vid of a cop flashing the white power symbol at protesters.
Not to mention the national guard shouting ‘light them up’ as they fire riot rounds at civilians.

The ‘they’re just doing their job’ parade need to take a serious look at themselves here.
The police response to this situation has been nothing short of horrendous.

You don’t get to play the ‘they are just as bad as each other’ card here.
