Thank you for your incisive commentary.

There's no doubt that Black people are disproportionately killed for whatever reason. It would be helpful if there was a similar list of people who had been killed without any kind of justification.

It's called empathy and compassion. Guess you wouldn't know anything about that.

Na it's a bandwagon. I can understand people in America protesting but not London. They were holding signs up saying 'hands up don't shoot' and 'am I next?', I am sorry but police are not going to shoot you in England. I would be surprised if there has been a single black person shot by the police here in the past year.

It it nothing to do with us, it is the equivalent of a march in Minnesota about the result of the Brexit vote mate.

On one hand, I think something like this was bound to happen eventually. These tensions have gone on far too long, with too many bad cops going unpunished and too many innocent people getting shot.

On the other hand, five probably uninvolved people are dead, and as a result I think we can expect retribution etc. from the cops. They're certainly going to be on edge for a long time now, and imo that really only exasterbates the problem.

The root problem, whatever that may be, still hasn't been dealt with, and until it is I'm really afraid of the direction that things will go from here.

Okay, yeah I see that point.

Also people that constantly spew about not all cops are bad. Where the fuck are the good ones when the bad ones are doing shit? Where are all the good ones when after they found out that the bad ones did shit stand out against them?

Nowhere to be fucking found that's where. The only cops I really like are IA.
