OMG! You’re doing that thing where you argue about something you haven’t watched or read again. Quelle surprise!

It's over 100 minutes long, nobody can be bothered with that.

True, but you’re still bothered enough to opine on its validity despite not having watched it.

i saw enough
they wasted about 20 minutes talking about the protest before they got to their point of the supposed miscarriage. but as soon as they started making untrue claims that have been floating around rightwing corners of the internet, I thought I'd look up who alpha news were: Quelle surprise
Floyds drug use was extensive discussed in the trial, rather than suppressed as the video falsely claims, with the medical examiner concluding that his drug use did not contribute at all to his death by cutting of his oxgenwww.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N3241XJ/
the "knee to the back of the neck was part of the authorised police training" was also comprehensively rejected in the trial by the police trainers themselves www.npr.org/sections/trial-over-killing-of-george-floyd/2021/04/05/984587443/former-training-commander-on-chauvin-neck-restraint-thats-not-what-we-train.
The second half of the video was a selection of cops talking about how hard it is to be cop because they can't act with impunity like they used to, they're the real victims here, intercut with pictures of biden. It's just rightwing trash rehashing long refuted claims to the gullible, as if somehow if they can prove floyds verdict was unsound it will delegitimise the BLM movement. I honestly wasted too much of my time looking at it, I should have known better

Are you saying that there are /links posters who have racist views?
Are you *sure* mate?

probably, but I've not seen any evidence that prufrock is, just wish he'd be a bit more selective
But I reckon why the rightwing wanted to attack the BLM is that it's useful for them if people fear them, instead of being sympathetic. Same with mexicans, trannies, "woke culture", whatever blame distraction from the sad fact it's become a plutocracy. It's not motivated by racism, but it's convenient to harness and stoke it
