CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

No LP, there are no cases linked to the protester ... yet!

Some of the 8 new cases are still under investigation but returned travellers at Rydges are the main source of new infections.

Yep sorry, went too soon, I heard it on radio at lunchtime that there were eight new cases linked to a protester and posted here. See what happens when you take what is reported by the media as truthful?

Will the protesters point that out when defending their actions, and if so will they use the same perspective when examining the way Floyd is now portrayed in the media?

Floyd was a career criminal who had been convicted for theft, criminal trespassing, aggravated robbery as well as entering a pregnant woman’s home terrorizing and pointing a gun at her stomach while looking for drugs and money.
I find it a contradiction he is now a civil rights martyr yet is guilty of crime, abuse and violence, I get how he died was wrong and the police concerned deserve the full wrath of the law but Floyd being depicted as a symbol of civil rights doesnt seem right to me..

A mate has a son going over to be a rookie punter in the NFL later this year, he was supposed to be there now but his departure was delayed for obvious reasons.

I genuinely fear for him, Floyd's become a universal excuse for lawlessness. My mate's boy is a nearly 200cm x 110kg beach blond who'll stand out like the proverbials on the street, and he's being sent to a rather worn out looking Southern colleague as a starter.

How very dare you EB!
To all the pathetic protesting sheep here in Australia who continue to follow the lead of those imbeciles in the US, the family of Justine Damond says hi.

Unless you blokes are saying he got what he deserved, then I suggest you avoid conflating separate issues. The fact that he was a career criminal should not obfuscate the main issues here.

Justine's "murder" didn't exactly incite the same protests ... but they should have.  Pajama dressed, unarmed white women are such a threat.  Minneapolis again

My point exactly, the officer was African American so I guess thats makes it ok in some peoples eyes. I am embarrassed to call myself Australian when I think about her death now.

Absolutely not saying that Pauly, that officer should go to jail for a very long time (ie life), just like any murderer. No one (black, white, red, pink, yellow, purple) deserves to be treated like that and murdered. I won't  believe for a second though that the act was racially motivated, just my opinion.

As unfortunate as her death was, I don't think you will find any evidence of sustained brutality in her murder, nor is there any evidence of a sustained history of violence by police against white women in the US. I think her murder was an unfortunate accident, and i don't see any proper connection with George Floyd

The facts and history of the US speak for themselves. It's hard to see any other motivation for such sustained, blatant brutality, unless that cop is a psychopathic nut job who enjoys tormenting all his victims.
