@DT: The UK is a f***ing joke, especially when compared to the obviously much superior US.
Not like they're so pathetic as to go after folk for "misgendering" online. That would render anyone from the UK a hypocrite if they ever cried over Trump going after twitter.
And I know no leftist here would dare be hypocritical in my presence.

No that time I wasnt joking. Hes a murderous cop with a gun, probably racist and he has buddies. All with shit loads of arrogance. Would be a literal death sentence to attack him to stop him killing Floyd.
That wasn't the part I was commenting on, I'm talking about the joke about what people in the UK would do.

I also seem to remember the incident that happened a few years back in London when some p-o-s islamic extremist ran over a UK serviceman (army,l I believe), then got out of car and proceeded to hack and slash him with a machete while he was down until he was deader than a doornail. There was at least a dozen people around as this unfolded. Guess what they were all doing as it did? Yep, you guessed it. Just standing by and watching.
So DT's claim that people in UK wouldn't have just stood by if what happened to Floyd happened in UK is unlikely. Though I don't think cops in the UK are even allowed to be armed with guns anymore so I guess that would make people much more willing to intervene.
That has nothing to do with it being where it happened though, but the fact that the cops were armed with guns so he really needs to get over his "people in the UK are much more moral and so wouldn't just have stood by while cops killed him!" erroneous belief.

Intervene if a police man is squeezing the neck of a black guy to death in front of them?Sure they would. No joke.
Nah, they wouldn't... not if the cops were armed w/guns they wouldn't so you really need to get over yourself. Your inferior country is not all that. It's a joke compared to the United States. 👆

people in the UK intervening usually amounts to some fruitcake shouting "oy! stop!"
I mean, that's pretty much what happened in the US as well... But, yeah, the entire argument is pretty laughable. This would have probably played out in a similar way in most civilized countries with the bystanders not intervening.
