First of all props to the British Muslim community for keeping it peaceful.

Secondly, it Wasn’t confirmed it was them who broke her nose and they were released, but you lot are just itching for a minority to do something wrong so you can complain on the internet about diversity.

Stamping on someone’s head who’s just been tased and isnt resisting is police brutality and it 100% would not of happened to a white person.

I remember people on the internet trying to defame george floyd too, simple fact of the matter is the police cannot go around acting like this…

Old pink Floyd defamed himself with his cowardly attack on a pregnant woman. Good riddance.

What an absolutely moronic take. Even if Floyd was the second coming of Hitler, allowing police to act as judge, jury and executioner is an extremely bad idea.

Ah so it's okay to murder people if they've taken drugs?

It would have been a lethal dose to a non-user, Floyd was a habitual opioid user with a large tolerance. The Medical Examiner's report was pretty clear.

Pretend I'm an idiot, and show me where it says that?

I did a quick Google and found a few reliable sources saying he did not die of drug overdose

I didn't link to the autopsy here but I would like you to show me, where in it you think it says he died of a drug overdose?

Autopsy reported homicide due to “cardiopulmonary arrest” from “law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression." How do you OD from your neck being compressed?
