What has the BLM got to do with this?

I was drawing a comparison between  the police taking a knee to BLM as opposed to the heavy handed approach shown towards this crowd.

In other words, the police are policing based on the political correctness of the cause rather than the threat to life which was much greater when BLM protested pre vaccine.

I thought the point was obvious but hopefully that's clarified it.

Whats your evidence for that? Are you saying women are incapable of doing the job.

This "woman" is not capable of doing the job. Massive calls for her to be removed after her Grenfell PR disaster.

too many people these days think they can do as they please and break the law then whinge when the police step in, they were told they couldnt do it but ignored that, they have no one to blame but themselves. There is way too much of this garbage going on these days, the laws are there to be followed by everyone, way past time all those breaking the laws etc are held accountable, social justice is not an excuse to do as you please

Um. I have a slight problem with all this reporting. There is more than a whiff of 'if it happens in London its terrible, a catastrophe, but if it happens elsewhere in the UK, its just a very sad event'.  That pretty much sums up all reporting in the UK.  It starts and stops in London. Its fairly obvious that the Capital is a quite separate entity, culturally, socially and politically from the rest of England, or indeed the rest of the UK. Not sure about Scottish independence, perhaps London should go its own way, or maybe it already has done  so.  This sad business is just one more manifestation of it.

Try looking outside the box a little as it means you can see the issue at hand. 

If the police allow black people to congregate but not white, do you think this isn't an important racial issue?

It’s noteworthy that your idea of ‘thinking outside the box’ frequently results in you pointing the finger at immigrants, BLM and other race related issues.

One might reasonably conclude you aren’t thinking outside of any box.

the met police are being led by a woman who is not there because of her ability to do the job, but because of political correctness, nothing else.

plus the assistant commissioner is a woman, plus the home secretary is a woman. Let them sort this cr@p out.

If police had used the same tactics on a male crowd (protesters, football etc), no-one would bat an eyelid. But they are now 'equal', these protesters got the same treatment and they don't like it. As always, wanting it both ways.

I've NOT frequently pointed my finger at immigrants. Actually, I can't remember doing it  a SINGLE time.

If you can't quote me saying so, I will brand you as a troll.

Everyone quick enough to bash the police who are only doing their job. All these people think they are exempt from prosecution should be fined and no sympathy for the ones dragged away by the police.

I'm not sure the way to treat a group of women protesting about the murder of an attractive young woman by a police officer, is by police manhandling another attractive young woman, in front of a photographer. It seems at the least a little insensitive, if not downright stupid.

She can't quote anything. She is forcing you to defend yourself against completely unfounded accusations. It's a deflection tactic.

It's stink bait and should be removed but it won't be. Ignore it.

Recently retired London art teacher here, not sure where your anti-teacher sentiment is coming from, don't you want your kids to have an education (or read books)?

According to The Met protesting about a black man being killed by American police thousands of miles away in a different country is ok. Take a knee.

But protesting about a white woman being killed by a member of The UK Met a few miles away is not ok. Handcuffs and headlocks.

Welcome to 2021.

Hand cuffs and headlocks vs handcuffs and dreadlocks.

One of the World's great <deleted> holes, like the vast majority of capital, or other very large cities.  It wallows in its own entitlement, squalor, social division and ludicrous costing. I avoid all of them like the plague, bar perhaps Amsterdam and Singapore City.

And I don't think he was killed for being black.

Great museums and art galleries, nice parks, theatre, opera, and concerts.

yep. many of the protesters were ginger. makes me wonder if it was combined with a "ginger lives matter" protest. Don't think ginger women are prejudiced against? Try walking a mile in their shoes.

I have to hang my head in shame as I have been prejudiced against ginger women. I have never, nor ever would I, have sex with a ginger woman. Imagine taking a ginger home to meet your parents. You just wouldn't.

The main reason I moved to Thailand. No ginger women here.

you haven't been down Pattaya Soi 6 lately then, the bar girls all seem to like that weird ginger haired theme, its most unattractive.

Unfortunately most of us Brits living here in LOS are unable to avoid 1 of them (namely Bangkok) at passport renewal time (unless we use an agent for this purpose, of course)!

Son of a lecturers and I did a small amount of teaching myself shortly after graduating.

That wasn't "anti-teacher sentiment", it was a recognition that many of the SJW crowd have jobs that insulate them from the real world. I would bet you dollars to donuts that half the women who stuck around to fight the police had comfortable jobs funded by the taxpayer.

What my limited experience of the staff room taught me is that, while there are some fine individuals, there are quite a few oddballs who would never survive in a job where they had to interact with adult peers all day, rather than powerless children.

From personal experience I can assure you that there are no ginger "collars and cuffs" on Soi 6.

Police anywhere are not noted, nor indeed recruited, for their intelligence. As in the Military, intelligence is seen as a drawback to your career prospects and your job effectiveness.
