    Some nerve on me?:pac:
    You sit there all day today talking absolute ****e and then dont give a toss if people you dont like are hurt.
    You are a joke.

    No, the joke is accusing someone grieving an innocent business ****ing owner being murdered by cops in a riot as not caring about innocent business owners in a riot. That’s you. **** off.

    Is American a racist country? Is it systemically racist?

    Do scumbag officers acting like scumbag officers make the entire structure of the country racist if every so often it is black people that come under their punishment?

    Just how bad are the actions taken to curb protests given the descent into rioting and looting. If the same was happening here, we'd expect our police to take to the streets to restore order. In fact if they didn't, we'd say the Government and the AGS had failed us.

    If anything the impression I got was justice in Ireland was 2-tier and inconsistently applied and have agreed with reforms for a while. Justice worked for Eddie Halvey but definitely not others.

    Yeah I agree with that, but the gap between rich and poor in this country is not as pronounced as in many other places, it is a country of effort and reward, I know our history of emigration is not wonderful, but hopefully we can welcome immigrants because of it, in the knowledge that not so long ago the shoe was on the other foot, in general terms justice is the acknowledgement of right over wrong, and George Floyd didn't receive justice, he was accused of passing a dud score in a liqueur store, (offie) that's what the arrest came from, if everyone was arrested for something as ridiculous as that, I would have been in front of the beak twice a week. In reality I have never been arrested. Ireland is not perfect, but lots of good people reside here, and the people make the place in the vast majority of cases.

    If the system is not designed to flush out racist and corrupt cops then the system is broken.

    I think America can't be referred to as one nation, it is a divided nation. Some parts of it are integrated, and lots more are not, the parts that are not, probably won't ever be.

    Okay, you're ITT rallying and raging against the innocent businesses that you can't even put a name or face to. Mostly large corporations like starbucks, many of which were targetted by police themselves instigating violence to make the protestors look bad.

    These protests were not started by violent looters. They were started and riled up by violent police.



    The small businesses getting looted is sad and wrong. But you cannot seriously claim to even know any of these businesses or value them more than a human unless you want to admit you're void of all morals.



    You're more concerned about capital and products than you are about a racist to the core police system and government murdering innocent humans every day across the US.



    If you're not able to wrap you're head around that then you're complicit in defending racism.

    In all seriousness: what is the difference?

    I never said I have no ****s who else was affected by it. That is purely your imagination.

    Don’t project your lifestyle on to me.

    "Louisville burns and you wont hear a bad word said about it by me"
    That was the general gist of what you said,so you dont care who else is affected by that statement.

    If you had my lifestyle you wouldnt be so bitter and angry.

    All caused by the police. The protest was peaceful till they pushed up and moved them back forcefully.

    Interesting video here. Cops have a guy on the ground and one of them stretches out the man's arm to put a stick in his hand. Then he pounds the man's hand to "disarm" him. These are the rotten apples that have to be rooted out, and be seen to be rooted out, to try and prevent this happening again.

    It's nuts isn't it? Like people have the right to protest and all that but fair amount of idiots there all the same.

    Waiting for the press conference watching a stream on Youtube and it sounds like a warzone outside the white house. Very audible explosions.
