You don't really believe that do you.
I believe "White lives matter" is nonsense as I have explained above.
If you prefer a longer slogan, you could try "black lives matter as much as white ones."
You wouldn't like to be treated as if you were black.

you really do obsess about the US, do these incidents not happen elsewhere? Russia, China, Africa. May be the reporting of these incidents goes to show what an open and transparent country America is.
Anyway as a cyclist, I'm not sure I entirely disapprove of disqualified drivers being shot for continuing to drive and endangering everyone else. Could roll it out to speeding and mobile phone use.
As a matter of fact, the post you dislike is a rebuttal of Benny's attempt to brush the problem under the carpet.
I have never criticised you for your attempts to highlight police killings in those countries.
Please show me some of your activity in that respect.

the problem I see with this continuous focus on the USA is that it is now being delivered through the main stream media as though it is happening here. We now have civil unrest on our streets for happening in another continent. I'm not even sure if there is a race issue of any sizeable magnitude here in the UK, yes of course there is some racism, we're human, and we could always do with less. But from my point of view we must be one of the most welcoming diverse tolerant nations anywhere on earth, I don't see anything stopping anyone in the UK from rising to their full potential. The BLM protests seem all out of all proportion here.
Why would that be racist I don't get it?

Exactly. But the one thing happened, and the other one is not likely to happen.
The one issue requires addressing, the other issue doesn't.
That must be why we cancel passports of the Windrush generation when they go out of the country on holiday, so they can't come back and live in their own home and see their friends and family ever again.
"The son of a Windrush immigrant who was denied British citizenship for years despite being born in the UK has finally been granted a passport after The Independent exposed his plight.
Jay, whose mother came from Jamaica as a child, has been fighting a constant battle to be recognised as British, spending hundreds of pounds and sending dozens of letters in failed attempts to secure his status."

Guess his skin colour. Do you think he's white?
"Three weeks on from speaking to The Independent and informing Labour MP David Lammy of his situation, the Home Office has granted him a passport, giving no explanation as to why he had previously been denied"

Indiginous Australians have died in police custody
AFAIK they make up 4% of the population
And nearly 50 % of the prison population
Them Australians need to sort em selves out
After all the 4 % are the real Australians

I'm glad to hear you are thinking of protesting this injustice. What have you done so far? Written to your MP? Written to the Australian High Commissioner? Organised a protest outside the embassy?

You're picking out a handful of sad cases where it has gone wrong, you need to balance your findings with the Inward migration into the UK which is around 400,000 per year (over a thousand every day) most get on just fine.
Take a look at the plight of the native americans, they suffer far more disproportionately at the hands of the US police than any other ethnicity, but the looney left in the UK do not seem to see any political angle to gain, hence no protests and riots on behalf of those.400 at least
