But without protests, none of the officers in question in America would not have faced a murder charge. Neither would the onlookers. So essentially black people, get back in your boxes, justice for an execution can go unpunished again and have another 300 years of subjagation while we wait to try and get things sorted.
Nobody made those cops execute that fella. If you want to blame people, blame them. Blame the president who called people peacefully protesting terrorists. This has been going on too long Dave.
And we are in agreement they shouldn't be out protesting but I think the blame is in the wrong place. Imagine if the government would have come out, acknowledged people's anger, and done all they could to prevent people protesting. Imagine they'd have come out, denounced Trump, told him there's no trading or corporation with America until he is gone and serious reforms are made to the American police. That they would apologise for Windrush, that they were going to drop the racist "hostile environment", compensate those who were illegally deported, launch criminal charges against the politicians who oversaw it etc. I could have some sympathy.
What we have actually got, is a bloke who makes crass remarks about picannees smiles in charge and a Home Secretary who's having a pop at people for taking down the statue of someone who murdered and enslaved their ancestors. I didn't go on the protests, and nor would I have for the reasons you've outlined, but it's very clear what has caused people to feel compelled to have to do so.
