There is a huge amount of peer pressure going on with this.

Do you think the police dropped a knee out of solidarity or to prevent a good kicking ?

Hopefully the pro footballers can manage to get up without a rail... before the game starts at least! :D

Neither, they wanted to be seen to be doing the right thing before they ran horses down the middle of a city.

So they did it because they were told to due to mounting pressure.

So the Police can’t be for equality, but against rioting, looting, flag burning and attacks on war memorials etc? Taking the knee has to mean you’re up for all that too? :?

There’s no evidence for your interpretation either.

The police’s response to the blm protests have been over the top imo. I can’t find any reporting of looting, it was a tiny minority of the protestors that caused trouble and it was just some paint.

They didn’t run horses through the crowds of football hooligans who came out for a fight last weekend.

The footage I saw showed a protester ghostie-ing a Boris bike into a horse. :(

You’re confusing the BLM protests with the opportunistic parasites who use it as an excuse to riot.

I'm confusing nothing. Have a word with yourself.

I’ve heard that the BLM movement in the UK wants to overthrow the government and disband the police.

Do they have an official page as if you search Google you get loads of hits but I’ve no idea what is genuine or not.
