    American cops racially profiling a guy and cuffing him, just because.......

    Only it turns out he’s an FBI agent.

    I love the bit where he's says what does that say, and repeats it, as the cops are looking at his id.

    Maybe, there’s always people desperate to be offended. My mates don’t feel oppressed, they can do whatever they want in this country like I can so what have they got to feel oppressed about?

    If he was just an ordinary guy, we know how it would play out.

    It really is this simple, seen a lot of people bringing up MLK as in he was peaceful, ok great... whilst he did a great deal of good it’s clear huge issues remain 60 years later

    I did a few CND marches in the early 80's, and yeah - they ****ing stood out like sore thumbs then. It was the RAF haircuts and pressed jeans normally. And Wings t-shirts.

    Thread too long for me to bother checking if someone has already said this but you don't need intent to kill to be done for murder in the UK.

    Intention to cause serious harm (usually GBH) which then leads to death is enough. The main case on it is Vickers, a burglar who was interrupted by an elderly lady. He beat her up before running away and admitted that he attacked her but had no intention to kill her.

    I'd have thought that under UK law you could try and argue that he did intend GBH and that it lead to death so try for a murder conviction, I'd usually say you'd never get a conviction in this type of situation but video is pretty damning. Whatever we think of racial tensions and police mistakes in this country (Stephen Lawrence and all that) we're just not in the same league of issues as the USA. As much as we do still have institutionalised racism it manifests itself in a much less violence manner and it feels like progress is made with each generation - I'm not sure the same can be said for America.
