You haven't even begun to understand people who disagree with you.

If you believe that what happened to George Floyd was bad, you would also believe that what happened to Nowak was bad. Saying that being appalled by police brutality towards a white person is "racism" misunderstands what people are saying complextely.

You are arguing with phantoms in your head.

The problem that people have is that whilst America was ripping itself apart with riots, British politicians were enthusiastically supporting this. Starmer made a statement saying he stood with the rioters. The same thing happened in the UK, there was a brief riot, and Starmer has taken the complete opposite position...and today, actually complained about people in other countries "stoking up division" (this is something that is getting said every few days).

The UK has policing policies and laws which favour some groups in society, this event was the outcome of that. When this happened in the US, the same politicians were outraged, appalled, disgusted. When this happened in the UK, no issues with policing at all. The problem that people have is that this is obviously contradictatory...again, if you start from the basis that people should be treated equally (which many people in the UK do not).

except Nowak has never done a crime such as robbing a pregnant women with a knife or overdosed on drugs leading to his death.

Except George Floyd was the last case in a long list of police brutality against black people.

How many cases like Nowak‘s where before his?

Seems like right wingers have a really short temper if they aren’t ok with the victims skin color.

Reminds me of anti vaxxers who cry murder if they can remotely link a death to a vaccine side effect but happily ignore thousands of death from COVID.

You mean the long list which gets very short once you actually watch the bodycam footage instead of msm headlines?

>How many cases like Nowak‘s where before his?

They literally have tried there best to hide this case. Have you ever considered that the reason you have not heard of other cases is the opposite reason you claim there is a (disproportionately) long list of police brutality against black? Not to mention that statistically speaking, if a group of people commit more crimes, they are also more likely to be involved with police increasing the chance of any brutality.

>Seems like right wingers have a really short temper if they aren’t ok with the victims skin color.

I don't see how claimed political affiliation is relevant here outside of attempting ad hominem.

>Reminds me of anti vaxxers

Reminds me of whataboutism and deflection. You forgot to call me a nazi, im sure that will change reality and do the heavy lifting in an argument.

I understand them pretty well.

It’s the same kind if people who ignored the deaths by COVID but claimed every death linked to the vaccines was murder or the consequence of mass experimentation on humans.

Just because this time an police error lead to the death of a white person doesn’t make it a case of racism against whites.

George Floyd was also only the straw that broke the camels back. There is more than enough evidence of racism in the Us justice system.

No, you don't. That is the issue. You are trying to link this to people who believe in a completely unrelated issue. The only place this connection exists in your own mind.

Do you understand how odd this looks to someone who doesn't have these barriers in their mind? It is like someone saying they dislike ice cream and then using that as the basis for concluding they dislike pizza. If politics didn't exist, this would make no sense at all.
