There is a separate thread where you can issue your grievances about Twitter and freedom of speech.

This thread is about possible legal consequences for Twitter not adhering to employment laws or employment agreements.

My post provided another example of failed legal attempts to get Musk.

The other commentary was a side note.

When 5 black cops killing a black guy gets labelled white supremacy, it really becomes satire.

History will mock the likes of BLM, CRT etc. And rightly so. It's a pathetic ideology. Divisive, inane, race baiting nonsense.

I’m presuming you didn’t understand this bit of my post:

 

 

Now what was it you were saying about Hyperbole?

What evidence do you have that Brexit is one factor?

Given that some other countries (e.g. Italy) that remained in the EU have even higher inflation than the UK, all the evidence points to Brexit not being a factor - since countries that remained and countries that left both have high inflation. 

The constant between the 2 countries appears to be Covid and the war in Ukraine.

Just now, Chomper Higgot said:

No it doesn’t.

 

It demonstrates high interest rates, it doesn’t demonstrate the cause.

 

By example, Germany was far more impacted by the war in the UK than was the UK but has lower inflation than the UK.

 

There are multiple factors impacting inflation, BREXIT is one, denying this is facile.

 

I presume you mean the war in Ukraine, not the UK. Or is that yet more hyperbole?

Assuming you meant Ukraine, let's summarize your point. High interest rates in the UK are due to Brexit. High interest rates in EU countries are due to the war in Ukraine and Covid lockdown policies.

Got it... ????

Let me introduce you to the concept of ‘Institutional Racism’:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_racism

 

Presumably you are referring to the Memphis PD as being institutionally racist?  The same PD in which the police chief is black and 56% of officers are black. I can imagine there must be a real culture of racism towards black people there!

I can imagine a question in a few years on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

"How many black cops does it take to commit a white supremacist hate crime?"

A. 7

B. 10

C. 12

D. 5

Clearly the correct answer is 5.

Not a lot Fox News and Tucker can do to spin this one. Disgusting murder of a black disabled man who was shuffling away from the police. 

You fail to mention a few other things. For the sake of completeness, allow me to...

1.   He was missing the bottom of both legs but this guy could still move fast. Watch the video.

2.  He had already stabbed someone that day causing massive injuries and was still carrying a huge knife, presumably the same one he stabbed the other person with.

3.  The guy had a huge upper body and could certainly do a lot of damage to a child, OAP, small woman, another disabled person that he encountered while fleeing police.

4.  One of the 2 officers involved was also black. As in Tyre Nichols case, it seems to be common to mention that the victim was black but not the officers.

Now I am not saying it was justified, far from it - an enquiry will be needed and the full facts will have to come out before we can establish that. My first thoughts are that a tazer could have been used but maybe it already had been tried unsuccessfully, I don't know. But for the sake of accuracy these factors I mentioned should not be ignored, deliberately or otherwise.

I certainly wouldn't want my 76 year old mother to encounter this guy as he fled police.

Fair enough, I stand corrected. It does seem that the UK is doing marginally better than Italy and Hungary, and actually a lot better than certain other countries. It's still the highest in the G7.

Be that as it may, the fact that several EU countries have higher inflation than Britain proves that Brexit is not the cause of the high inflation. 

Interesting how they mention that the victim was black, but not that the officers who beat him to death were black.

Also, I found this comment interesting.

I think Randal Worcester might disagree with that statement.

Time to stop playing the race card, this is about police brutality, not race.

That's good news.

You didn't criticize my comments. You were unable to do that so you made a fatuous comment about me. Weak...

BTW you'd be very surprised if you knew my Psychological credentials. Although I have to admit my legal credentials are probably only marginally superior to yours.

It’s the race of the victims of police violence that makes this a race related issue, not the race of the officers.

So if a white man is beaten by white officers, that is racism against white people?

Let’s quit with this pretense that police response dealing with  black people is the same as their response when dealing with white people.

 

Tell Randal Worcester that.
