Deaths in police custody since 1998: 333; officers convicted: none | UK news | The Guardian
Just in case I sound ambiguous about judging the riots in London: I don’t see violence as an answer, but I think I’m more pissed about the cause for the riots than the riots themselves. See above.
Ok this really didn’t explain the riots first only 87 deaths are really up for debate if you arrest some guy on crack and his heart stops there is nothing you can do about it. As far as the 16 you can argue the cops either purposely killed them or they don’t know how to restrain a person. Maybe if the cops carried tasers and you know actual guns not every situation would escalate into a physical brawl.
I also watched the live BBC feed for a couple hours and most of the looters were black while most of the people who died under police custody were white which means the riots are still just a bunch of thugs that want to score a free TV.
………UH…..because a black person would never be upset about the unjust death of a white person?
….oh, wait…..it’s you again….I keep biting.
Wait, is this person saying that because most of the rioters were black, they were only rioting to score some loot?
I… really?
I guess with a username like that I shouldn’t be surprised.
