We don't know what happened in the incident but lots of people have started rioting because of the involved individuals skin colour, most people call that racism.

[WTFH]

We don't know what happened in the incident...

Are you saying the video of the cop with his knee on the guy's neck is fake?

Are you saying the video of the cop with his knee on the guy's neck is fake?

No - are you saying it is irrefutable proof that it was murder?

Are you saying you support rioting and looting when preaching calm and a criminal investigation would be the best way of dealing with it?

Would you be as convinced if the suspect was white?

[NotAllThere]

We don't know what happened in the incident...

We do pretty much - all those videos. Given the fact the officers were pretty quickly sacked, on the balance of probabilities they didn't follow due process.

[WTFH]

When the tulip was going down in NI you all looked the other way.

I'm not sure who "you all" is. Are you throwing me in with a group of people based on how you pre-judge me?
Is it people of my ethnicity - based on what you have decided that is, without having met me?
People of my religion - based on what you have decided that is, without having met me?
People with my background and upbringing - based on what you have decided that is, without having met me?
People with my political viewpoint - based on what you have decided that is, without having met me?

But since you think that I can be grouped in with "you all", then you need to tell me who this "you all" group is, and why you are certain I am part of it.

[WTFH]

No - are you saying it is irrefutable proof that it was murder?

No, I'm not.

Are you saying you support rioting and looting when preaching calm and a criminal investigation would be the best way of dealing with it?

No, I'm not saying I support rioting and looting.

Would you be as convinced if the suspect was white?

Convinced of what?
A person's skin colour should not affect how they are treated in a civilised society.

Allowing themselves to be filmed (although I haven't seen it) presumably wasn't part of the 'process'.

So what do you think happened?

What evidence do you have to support your view?

[vetran]

No, I'm not.

Good we agree then.
The evidence we have seen is not conclusive.
Rioting is bad.
racism is wrong.
