Police must change!!! Justice for Floyd AUSTRALIA

Odd that this never happens in the far more common instances when a non black person (or a black person for that matter) is killed by a black person

Why do all AU politicians keep silent about the death of George Floyd and other innocent American Africans died from unnecessary shooting by police? Why not call for an independent investigation about the American Africans' human right? Because of no guts or something else?

They really seem to hate each other. I can’t imagine what that must be like.

Why are you mentioning the officers skin colour? I thought we weren’t supposed to mention the race of street gangs.

When the looting starts, the shooting starts!! Let’s not glorify the child-like temper tantrums being thrown for all of the wrong reasons. This isn’t protesting, this is MobJustice and rape. whenthelootingstartstheshootingstarts

The left have always been more aggressive, when in numbers.

Where’s Serpico when you need him?

And these were peaceful protesters.
