Picture is slightly better framed on the paper itself but this is the Sunday Times cover photo today.

Good shoes.
Thereās loads of skaters protesting:
Situation seems so crazy at the minute.
That dickhead is no worse than that cop who killed that guy.
When can we fuck off to Mars with SpaceX?

Yes, heās just a loser fake protesting as an excuse to be a cunt
Iām pissed off at the people using the protest as an excuse to be a cunt, like that dude in the clip.

Yeah, dude isnāt as bad as a dude who killed someone, but still part of the problem
Depends how you read his actions I suppose. Does this situation call for radical, possibly violent action? Yes. Is blindsiding a police officer beneficial to the protestās aim? Probably not, but understandable given the circumstances.
Radical yes, violent, I donāt think so, just ironic in this situation really.
Timings pretty bad with the lockdowns I knowbut I think the protests were picking up pretty good traction before people decided to jump on the back and use it as an excuse to smash people shops up and get some likes on Instagram.
Killer Mike did a very good job, heās been repeated on sky news for instance. People can hear what heās saying and get more out of it rather than all this other shit people are doing.
Hopefully itās a small percentage and stays that way as now is a good time to be heard in the right way
A fuck ton of good can come from this at this time, people need to not fuck it up by being bellends.

Just seen the news that there is a march in London over this.
I have to ask myself why? though.
Granted, its horrific and America is going bazerk over it, hardly surprising and rightly so but I donāt understand what a protest in London aims to achieve. We canāt influence anything about how the US is policed.

A lot of Americanās live in London.
Sometimes you have to make a big fucking noise to be heard.
"In the final analysis, the riot is the language of the unheard. What is it that America has failed to hear? - Dr Martin Luther King Jr in 1967 and here we are in 2020.
All the platitudes have been said a million times before and nothing changes.

I fully get you.
I think if they can do real peaceful and I guess socially distanced, lol, protests anywhere in the world itās worth it.
Again, if every protest ends with a degree of people being dicks, the media will always pick it up then it just looks like everyone involved is a berk.
Trump will then then Just point out all the violence and put on the rocky theme on again
I donāt know, maybe Iām wrong, maybe the answer is to go and Fuck shit up, how did it turn out in Paris?
Perhaps it could influence our politicians to speak out against whatās happening in America? The biggest British protest of the 1960s was against the Vietnam War, a war Britain wasnāt involved in. People are moved to action.
There looked to have been an impromptu march yesterday in London as well.
Yep I think your right
Imagine if other countries put the same pressure on, letās face it, I bet everyoneās sick of this virus (no pun intended) and could get behind this
I think thatās why Iām so angry at seeing people potentially take this chance the Into the wrong direction.

Wasnāt that a life lost at the hands of the UK police?
He was murdered because he was black.
