Knee bending

[noseall]

The whole knee bending thing is a load of empty bọllọcks.
Most Footballers bent the knee for George Floyd because they had to, not because they wanted too.

That said why was our England players bending the knee for some gun slinging criminal from the US?

There must 100s of thousands injust killings around the world . Why George why not anyone else?

It's symbolic. He was killed simply because he was black and folk are sick of it.

And you know this because...?
How many of them have you spoken to?

They weren't bending the knee because he was a gun slinging criminal, they did so because the cop that killed him was a gun slinging criminal.

Because it was caught on video, just like Rodney King.
It wasn't just about him, it was about the pattern that was emerging. The knee was also for Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, and the many others.

We could replicate that around the world. Many cases of someone dying because of their colour or religion.

Good innocent people dying because of their colour or religion.

You are a bit late to the party boyo.
Oh, and this has been happening to black folk since the 15th century.

The main link between bending the knee and racism is that both have lost their meaning these days.

So did the england team take the knee last night, I didn't see the match

164 Premiership players played at the last world cups. Most if not all of these where bending the knee while playing for their club that season.

How many do you think bent thier knee while playing for their national teams?

We know England did.

no he wasn’t, he was being arrested for the umpteenth time and had a very long history of violent and sickening crimes - he also had a heart problem and intoxicants in his system - For many it seemed a good excuse to riot and loot, and looney left do gooders used it as an excuse for a yet more virtue signalling

It was an empty gesture then. No pressure on them to do so this time round. No they didn't

I don't get the asserted correlation with the George Floyd case. Putting aside the kind of man he was, George was killed by a police officer.

George Floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest caused by law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck and back compression. Medical experts determined the primary mechanism was asphyxiation (lack of oxygen), which occurred after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for over nine minutes

Henry Nowak's tragic case bears little resemblance. He had ostensibly already been killed (fatal injuries) not by a police officer, but by stab wounds inflicted by Vickrum Digwa.

It was disgusting that Henry wasn't offered assistance, wasn't believed, and hearing the police officer say 'I don't think so mate' was almost unbelievable.

However to bring the Floyd case in on the Nowak discussion to me makes almost zero sense.

My legs are so short that you wouldn't know if I was bending my knees or not!

So when the knee bending thing was a fad anyone in the England team who did not bend were accused of being racist. So does that now mean the whole team are racist because they didn't bend the knee.

Are you wearing your poppy at this very moment?

There may be an enquiry one day, provided the Starmer regime don't find ways to obstruct and delay it indefinitely as they have been doing with that other enquiry.

But, that aside, my understanding is that he was stabbed in the armpit. This is why it was difficult to see, he was holding himself huddled with his arm close to his side which was restricting the bleeding. The police bent his arms out behind him to handcuff him, probably increasing the bleeding and possibly the effects of the puncture to his diaphragm and lungs, making it harder for him to breathe.

The police prevented medical assistance that he needed reaching him, but also probably shortened his life with the handcuffing.

So the comparisons with George Floyd are very much valid.
