You spelt riots wrong....again

Obviously the police thought he was going for a gun in the car. Why not just cooperate?

PM and most LNP extremists allways quick to condemn China in Hong Kong protests but not a word about the US riots and police violence and KILLINGS of innocent BLACK citizens protesting their rights.Are we so locked in to supporting Trumps US?

Tell the whole story. Tell us that this man was reaching for a gun when he got shot. Tell us the violence is coming from Marxist Antifa agitators.

Protests?

I’m confused with the news reports on the 2 people shot dead. Firstly condolences to families. Secondly why don’t the articles start with what race they victims are but finish with the shooting of a black man. Either you don’t know or depending on race it doesn’t matter 🤷‍♀️ mmmm

Zombie terrorists at it again.

Fascist with guns always get a free pass.

Pretty silly.
