Nah, different time, different regulations in play at that time. Exactly the same outcome as the first police investigation. Had Starmer been fined he would have resigned, he made no attempt at all to dodge the investigation and made an unequivocal statement that he would accept its findings. Not so Johnson. Starmer was handed an opportunity to seize the moral high ground, he very wisely grasped it.

Oh look Dianne Abbot popped out of her free accommodation again.

The Police statement said ‘No case to answer’. The cases were not similar. ’Beergate’ turned out to be nothing but rightwing frothing, fabricated outrage.

Over the top for the cold blooded murder of a man in handcuffs, payed face down in the floor and surrounded by armed cops. Yeh, OK. He got the sentences prescribed in law.

Floyd was murdered in cold blood, while handcuffed and surrounded by armed Cops. His murder was nothing to do with ‘targeting criminals’, he was in police custody and a threat to nobody.

Floyd’s murder wasn’t simply a ‘knock restraint’ issue was it?! Its more dangerous to be a teenager in the US than a Cop: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/03/22/health/gun-deaths-school-age-children-trnd/index.html You are making the argument of Cops executing (pun intended) extra judicial killing. Which I agree is a significant part of the problem, albeit hugely disproportionately visited upon Black men.

How many were cold bloodedly murdered by Cops? Or are you just quoting statics that have no bearing at all on the topic under discussion?

The US has a decades long history of police killing un armed black men with impunity. To argue that had the killing of one white man been justly investigated and prosecuted this would have saved Floyd from the cold blooded murder he suffered is a nonsense. Floyd’s murder is arguably the most broadcast killing since Kennedy’s assassination, the cold blooded brutality of the murdering Cop on full display. The resulting civil unrest, the Cop’s arrest, indictment, trial(s) and conviction(s) all gripped the nation. Nobody in the US who witnessed these events can be in any doubt that the Cop cold bloodedly murdered Floyd, nobody can deny having the matter of Cops killing un armed Black men brought to their attention. No Cop in American is unaware of the Chauvin’s conviction for the cold blooded murder of an unarmed and handcuffed Black man. And yet the police continue to gun down un armed Black men. The argument that justly dealing with any single case will solve the systematic problem of Police killing un armed suspects of any race is patent nonsense.

Perhaps Musk is hoping for another run in with the SEC. His antics awfully like an attempt to manipulate stock prices.

Those of us who worked on what was termed in the industry as ‘The Secret Project’ know Saudi Arabia has more reserves than it cares to admit.

Cops ‘standing by’ has become a bit of a thing. But while I disagree entirely with you on Chaivin, I do agree the cops ‘standing by’ absolutely have some significant culpability.

Everything in your assessment around the Murdering Cop’s actions. The found him guilty he had no excuses for killing his victim.

You need to re-watch the video. If you struggle with that, refer to the jury findings.

And that’s all we might ever have been told about him, except for the fact someone video recorded his cold blooded murder by a ‘cop’. So let’s all get outraged that the cold blooded murdering cop has been served Justice.

Yes, it tells us something about their objectives. Just like your posts tell us about your own.

But BLM are campaigning against police killing Black people. In the context of that campaign the only data that matters is how many Black people the police kill. Also note, it wasn’t until The Guardian newspaper and the BLM movement campaigns that US police forces started systematically recording the race of people killed by the police.

Excellent news. One more rightwing talking point shot down.

So let’s forget State violence against Black people shall we?

Under the Constitution everyone in America has rights. For political reasons you think this cold blooded murdering cop has received a an over the top sentence. We got that.

Erm, that’s what you’d like the topic to be about. But it’s not.

Not quiet, he’s a member of the ruling class, he’s allowed to be ‘eccentric’. If he were working class he’s be an unkempt, lying little scrote.

Awful news. RIP

It’s not the topic of the thread, it’s whataboutary. You could start an online campaign to drum up protest, that might get you an answer.

He won’t l, the 1922 committee will sort him out. He’s toxic, they can’t leave him squatting in No 10.
