Did anyone see the video?

Most disturbing thing I've ever watched. Looking back maybe i shouldnt, but you literally see a man be murdered by a copper. Fucking scumbag. Disgraceful, all of it. How this still happens in this day and age is beyond me

It’s not that, if you expect to resolve things long term you need to visualise an idea a hope and then put steps to make them happen. The black community will not win an armed fight against the authorities it’s better to use old women on buses. Anger totally understandable of course but we need less violence not more

Although I agree it does feel like they've tried the organised, peaceful approach for a long time and got nowhere. In most successful protest movements there will be a period of peaceful protest followed by an escalation into more extreme/violent methods before looking to resolve it more diplomatically at the end. But it seems like that violent period is required somewhere along the line to be effective.

I think this reaction is also a culmination of other things regarding Covid, Trump etc and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. Although there will be some just using it as an excuse to cause trouble. Who knows, maybe even some who have racist views doing it to try and discredit it.

Everything I’ve read about the ringleader of the four police officers tells me he’s a real piece of shit who would have spent the majority of his life in prison had he not been a police officer. The other three don’t sound much better.

Trump is about to.prescibe Antifa a terrorist organisation

Imagine been alive when the leader of the free world made opposing facism an offence- fucking hell.
Best thing is he really can't as antifa isn't an organisation.

He could try and go after people like the black bloc or blm who make up what people refer to as antifa but he's not that smart.

What is pretty galling is watching a group of social inadequate white kids jump on this tragic issue to express their violent tendencies in the only way they can. Destroying black communities in the process. Over privileged emotionally repressed pricks

Anti fascism good. Bunch of fannies getting their violent adrenaline kicks on the back of a tragedy not so. Black people can burn the White House down in revenge if they wish but these idiots need to go back to their Xboxes

Glorifying and supporting antifa is a bit like someone coming on here and praising the EDL, almost certainly worse actually.

I try and debate reasonably on here, but some of the hypocrisy from the left is absolutely staggering.

ANTIFA? Are you fucking serious!?
Yes it just means anti fascist.

It's an idea rather than an organisation


Still I was right

Ive got issues with Antifa which is why I've never expressed support for them.Theyd probably call me a facist for disagreeing with them on the points I disagree with them. That's how they operate.

But people try and paint them as the other cheek of the same arse of the far right which is absolute bollocks.

The far rights list of murders and crimes is fucking outrageous, growing and under reported. Antifa aren't in the same league for cuntish behaviour.

Probably worth mentioning that although having a particular taste for black people, the American cops generally like shooting people full stop. Scary shit

With all due respect, there is footage on line of them arresting several white mass shòters and they treat 5hem with kid gloves.
There is a massive racist element in the police in the States.
It's fucking frightening.

They brought Dylan Roof fast food after he shot up a black church

Disgraceful behaviour, poor bloke was just trying to defend his business.

Only took a few minutes to find that there may well be more to it. The person who shot the video, Elijah Schaffer of Blaze TV (an alt right host on a Conservative online channel), has said "I cannot confirm he was the store owner". Dallas Morning News have since confirmed he wasn't the store owner.

There's a longer video which shows the man with the machete instigating the attack, running after people and trying to attack them with his machete.

Someone on twitter, well at least until the account was deleted, has claimed it was him and if it is then other tweets allegedly from the same account do not show him in a good light.
