George Floyd/Black Lives Matter Protests


Recommended Posts

I can definitely see them walking free, if you are looking for any precedent, have a read about Amadou Diallo, who was killed by 4 NYPD officers in 1999. They fired 41 shots at him, hitting him 19 times. He was unarmed, but he took his wallet from his jacket pocket, and the officers opened fire without warning, believing he had a gun. All 4 were indicted on 2nd degree murder and reckless endangerment charges, all 4 were acquitted. One of the 4 had previously shot another unarmed black man 2 years earlier.

It inspired Bruce Springsteen to write 41 Shots, for which the NYPD patrolman's benevolent association called for a boycott of his shows after he performed it at Madison Square Garden in 2000.

Nothing but admiration for Lyn Rigby for coming out with that after everything she's been through.

Unfortunately, the mouthbreathers will now switch to Emily Jones.

Body Count are still releasing new material, just had an album out in March. Not quite as good an album as their 2017 effort and no one song is as good as the outstanding 'Talk Shit, Get Shot' from 2014, but Ice-T is still delivering at 62.

It’s no wonder she didn’t fit in with the Royals.  If they had the slightest bit of public relations nous, they’d have made her front, right and centre of their media relations.

She seems like a lovely person in that video. If she has somehow annoyed Andrew Neil then that's great too.

yes all the time, really bad english ones persuading me to click a link and get rich (on tapatalk I should add, platinum is doing its job on dekstop).

The absolute shiteness of the targeted ads I get make me feel slightly more optimistic about the AI dystopia ahead of us.

Is it just me or does anyone else gets ads on P&B about Meghan and Harry?

Is it not based on an algorithm of what you google.

I get stuff like this rather than Megan and Harry.
