    Few unsavoury videos floating about on WhatsApp today of George Floyd.

    Are they legit ? Was he really in the adult entertainment industry ?

    Dies it matter?

    Oh I have no problem if he was a porn star. Just interesting that none of the mainstream media picked up on this for his background.

    Yes. Come trial time everything matters.

    Everything used by everyone..

    Better question is should it matter?

    If they did, why would it be worth reporting?

    Why would his working in the adult industry matter?

    The president banged a porn star while his wife was at home with a new baby.

    His now wife is an ex soft porn star.

    No one seems to care.

    Why would George Floyd's alleged part in porn have to do with a trial?

    If there is a jury, the defence will paint the worst picture of Floyd they possibly can. The theatrical side of a court case.

    Probably because it doesn't matter.. there's other news stories coming from what happened to George that are way more important.

    You can't paint over minutes of video/audio evidence that resulted in the murder of George.

    Not the brightest bunch these police lads. Just like smashing things. Be it human or car.

    Stereotyping is bad in all it's forms.

    If the defence case is going to be built on George's past as in some way helps their case, they'll be doing disservice to their clients.

    One can only hope. They'll get maximum punishment.

    Maybe they're sick and tired of scumbags smashing up their city .Just as well the officers are black , could you imagine the outrage if they were white ?

    I don’t care if they’re pissed off about McDonald’s canceling Szechuan sauce it doesn’t give them the right to abuse the color of law.

    You attempted to make it sound as if Trump cowered to his bunker, going off a well-propagated rumor that claimed to be Trump, which of course you were happy to go along with. It was fact-checked and proven to be false. I know your post count per day has been somewhat erratic but no matter how many posts you place on this thread, your error cannot be buried.

    I understand that this may be difficult for you to comprehend but perhaps you should learn to admit when you have made a mistake. Attempting to drag it out in a deliberate attempt to disguise your error, hoping I'd let it go. It seems to be a common tactic of yours. An observation of course.

    Still not seeing anything I did wrong.

    I said he went to the bunker. He went to the bunker.

    I said he said he was there to “inspect” the bunker. That’s exactly what he said.

    You shoving words into my mouth won’t work.

    If that cop knew anything about his dog he would know pulling it will only make it bite harder. He's either an idiot or a sadist.

    Going by that reference, you're over 18. Shocking.

    If he doesn’t know how to handle the dog properly or the dog hasn’t been trained properly then it doesn’t belong there. If he and it are trained properly it’s sadistic. In either case it’s brutality and it’s wrong.

    Apparently NYPD are going to, or are deploying LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device).
    It's a military weapon.
    https://twitter.com/Sphynxian/status/1268387882273669121

    They used them in the past and a federal court ruled the can be a excessive use of force.

    It's just pure sadistic the degrees the fascist forces of "law and order" will stoop.
    They aren't even protecting property, they just want to clear the streets, never mind the 1st Amendment.

    But I never said Biden said it in his speech on Tuesday.
    I just simply said Biden has stated this, whihc he has as someone else posted.
    Its you that got all cock a hoop asking me to point out where Biden said it on Tuesday.

    The logic of liberals these days, they sound like that character Wellington Wimpy in the old Popeye cartoons who used say " I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today" only with the liberals its sort of in reverse .. "if he didnt say it last Tuesday then he didnt say it "

    So Trump said this then right?

    "Fact-checked " lol - he lied and pretended he was "inspecting" it to save face. Gullible fools will believe anything he says of course.

    lol?? You use tik tok don't you.

    The burden of proof is on you now to prove the lie you believed. Don't base it on emotions or your feelings. Give me facts and provide a source. Maybe go to a mindfulness class or finger paint. What ever-useful idiots do.

    One of the biggest things to come out of this, is that we see whites protesting and rioting alongside blacks.
    This is really a first and a watershed moment.

    A flame has been lit.

    The race riots in the 60's had the same.

    And the country progressed. Nobody today says “yeah well there was reports of some rioting so the whole civil rights movement was a farce” which is what I’m hearing from detractors in the thread about the police accountability movement happening right now.

    I really don't like trump...

    But name calling is going to get you nowhere...

    A lot of allegations...any evidence?

    Bill had more interaction with Epstein than Trump it seems, but why isn't Bill being called out for child sex trafficking?

    The playing field should be level, same rules for everyone no matter what side of the politic divide they are on...The different rules for liberals and conservatives is a reason why man conservatives will never consider moving closer towards the middle ground...

    "As well as those who were wrongly deported, an unknown number were wrongly detained, lost their jobs or homes, or were denied benefits or medical care to which they were entitled.[3] A number of long-term UK residents were wrongly refused re-entry to the UK, and a larger number were threatened with immediate deportation by the Home Office".

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windrush_scandal

    Want to give us your thoughts on how British citizens were denied their rights of housing, benefits, jobs etc is spot on? This didn't happen decades ago.

    All based on their immigration status and country of origin. Not based on their race.

    Unless you believe the former equates to the latter because they typically overlap.

    But of course, in that case any border controls are by definition racist, which would be a crazy assertion MeMen2_MoRi_, wouldn't it?

    Sorry my post was in response to the Tweet that you quoted

    In this account a protester was shot by a 'less lethal' round and in convulsions.
    People appealed for help and the cops said to bring him over to their lines.
    While doing so other cops i suspect, fired on them.
    These are war crimes.

    Ppl the world over are witnessing the jack boot of american fascism and are horrified.
    I don't know what's going to happen but USA will never be the same.

    Theyre British citizens.. How do you go about implementing "immigration" controls on your own citizens?
