Yep, it took like 3 days for the George Floyd body cam footage to come out. It's been well over a month and we are just now getting it in this case.

Way more justified than the Floyd protests/riots. It's good to see that the people are fed up with this shit.

From a pragmatic point of view, the justification is irrelevant.

What will happen is that you will not see anyone trying to capitalize on the hysteria.

You will not see bending knees and donning of white people garb.

This is absolutely true.
 


Oh. So now they want to act dignified.

It will be interesting how this develops and impacts the society in the UK.

I hope it is a turning point.
 
I have thought all along that the boiling point would be reached here first. It's looking like it might happen in the UK first. People (mainly white people) are fucking fed up with this nonsense.

Nothing will happen over there. Nothing like the BLM movement here. Nobody to cheerlead it on, fund it, etc. We know which side does that.

That is an important point. The UK is bankrupt and the only reason they loosened immigration requirements is because they probably thought that meant more tax payers. Yeah, good plan.

Don't think that really the reason, but we're bankrupt, too.

The celebs, athletes, Hollywood bigwigs, and media that fanned the flames here have plenty of money to do the same thing there. But they won't.

If something does come to a head (which I think is very possible) it will be different from BLM in that the protests in the UK will be entirely organic so everyone at them will be fully invested. This will create solid staying power for any movement that forms. It's going to be interesting to watch.
