TY - Mom333; that was very interesting...not often we get a birds eye view of what it's like to be right there on the inside 'day-to-day' events of a foreign country! Sure the media gives us a POV but it's often stilted and biased about one side or the other...so TY for your post! |

oh and the politicians here we know they are all twats who don't keep promises and are out for there own gain, one of them was in the paper because he has 4 kitchens in his house people weren't happy with that. and Nigel farage he is a total racist politician he was on this show with this white couple who just made him look a knob lol. some like him though because they blame immigrants for everything. I like some of his views like not making nurses train at uni just nurses college and stuff like that.

that is exactly what happening and yes I live in England but I can send my son to the shops knowing he will come back home safe, and what I fear for him is peadoes and murders etc. not a thug copper beating him to death because he has a load of sweets and money on him. my neighbours who are white and good friends of mine can let their girl who is obviously white and my girl go round the block with there bikes in the summer without the coppers coming up to them because they have nice bikes. its not perfect here at all and things happen not like in America but they do, but if a copper here tried to beat someone to death of any colour just because well just because people here would go ballistic. and yes there might be some looting of all colours well lets face it everyone loves a free tv. but it would not be acceptable to do that to anybody. and if people here stood up to that kind of treatment you can bet they wouldn't be shunned. everyone knows the government is corrupt, well everyone should know. They lie and do things they shouldn't just like a certain man and a cigar. they are human and flawed like the rest of us, they are not sent from above they are merely mortal like us. hence they can break the rules like us. the difference is they shouldn't lie and treat people bad and break the rules and im including the police in this too, because they took an oath to protect all and serve in the best interests of you. not watch you hate each other and do nothing. the one thing in the whole mess is you are all citizens of a country you hold dear and its not because of the government its because of the citizens in it, whether your from Timbuktu or Spain if you live in America and have made a life there you should be left alone there until you commit a crime there and if your being treated bad there your views should be listened to there because your supposed to be important there. so instead of hating each other because the government says you should you should get along and look out for each other because you cant trust the government to look out for you and to have your best interests at heart. you can gang up on me if you want to but I am someone looking in from the outside, and sometimes an outside view is a good thing. While I enjoy reading your posts and your input here is of value; we need everyone's insight into our nations mess...I wonder about the differences though between England and America! And correct me, PLEASE! A.) we might have camera's on our police officers {but not all have those body cams} B.) England has a plethora of PUBLIC STATIONED video camera's linked into a recording system so that at any given incident a 'play back' can be obtained - so the officers/citizens know that there is an excellent chance that they are being recorded by their government C. We have a weapon for every human {or if not every human 4x's per ownership} and England does not D. Incidents of violent crimes has never been the same between England's records/data and Americas --- WE EXCEL AT KILLING *********************** My generation {circa 50's - 60's} childhood days isn't what these young children have to deal with; granted I didn't grow up in an inner city like Baltimore {lived all my life rural America} but England hasn't changed much since your parents age or your grand parents age has it? |

notice how this all started as cops murdering another man that wasnt justified, how quickly the government changed it all about race and looters and thugs... thats all anyone is talking about now. like i said lets not forget why this all started, government from the president all the way down to local police is mostly corrupted. i say mostly because i know there is some good people in gov. but i feel like the good people are the minority. the media has turned this whole thing from "cops murder another man unjustly" to "thugs and looters rioting in baltimore". they really know how to deflect attention from what we should really be focused on. |

the media prints what the media prints, and at the minute there is nothing you can do about it. but instead of just listening to the media find out for yourselves, think for yourselves, and then make decisions and have views on what you find out for yourselves not what the media wants you to think. there is a saying knowledge is power. not money or things, if you know something you can avoid it or embrace it or you can not be treated bad or you can just know. but making views that are not really your own does not serve you well. my dad always says im stubborn and I am and if he told me the sky was blue I would go out and see for myself, because he could tell me anything. just like he told me to drink this really nice cocktail he made once, I didn't sniff it first I just drank it and it turned out to be chillie water. I can still taste it to this day lol. now I make sure what people tell me is the truth and not lies for their own gain.

probably experience,,,,,not all cops in every community interact with the citizens with professionalism or respect the fact that he was even chased simply because of choosing to run,,that he was asking for help BEFORE he was put in the van.....people are upset that citizens lives aren't valued more Let's see.. KNOWN Criminal (25yrs +), running from a cop, or trotting or skipping & singing the Barney song IS A CRIME & IS EVADING ARREST , another crime, & IS INTERFERING WITH A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, another crime.... equals use of deadly force, by LAW. * Not to mention, incredibly foolish & self defeating or just suicidal as opposed to more jail time * lol, actually its not, since he was not under arrest or being threatened with arrest,,, he was not in the process of a criminal act, and merely made 'eye contact ,,but nice try and you may be ok with deadly force as penalty for running, but I like our system where the only excuse for the justice system to impose a death penalty is for those convicted of murder,,, Your words " because he choose to run " Yea .. that's what * cough * innocent people do.... run from police when they " make eye contact " no, sassy euros may not but people in areas that have reason not to trust the police in that area , may do just that, as fast as they would run from any other situation where a thug has a gun and is eyeing them No Ms Harmony I'm an American, big ASSumption there. Euro is just part ONE of my heritage. But the public,the black powers that be have every reason, NOT to trust the their citizens & criminals, who have proven for over 5 days that they can not be civilized. We don't have 5,000 National Guard here & (another 5,000 on back up - Thank you govenor. & ) 500 (borrowed) State troopers & a 10pm- 5am curfew & countless schools & colleges & shops & buisness & bus routes closed down & 15+ wounded officers (some unresponsive) & 4 beaten journalist. And countless injuries & millions of dollars in property damage & man power..... And a President & Councilmen calling the rioters " thugs & " criminals"... . because they trust them & think feel sorry for them & make excuses for them. |

problem is cops dont even know/understand most of the laws they enforce. they think just because they have a badge its an excuse to do whatever they want. someone needs to start holding bad police accountable for their actions, and it cant be other police or people who know and have a relationship with the cops in question. i've seen firsthand cops abuse their authority and beat/falsely arrest people and get away with it everytime, because now in this country your guilty until proven innocent. a friend of mine witnessed someone getting beat by like 4-5 cops and he yelled to the cops "hey that isnt necessary" 5 seconds later hes in handcuffs being charged with disorderly conduct. he went to court and told the judge what happened, the judge said "you were in the wrong place at the wrong time" and found him guilty. so much for rights in this country. |

if they can label you 'criminal' from anything as small as having weed to being in a fight,, you lose basic human rights and some are apparently ok with it,,, sad yea it is sad. free country my @$$. politicians trample all over our rights and average citizens try to defend the politicians, not the people. |

I have faith in human kind when I see that people know what's right from wrong and are not afraid to say it even when they could get backlash. :)

Most of the world only have an idea of what America is really like. Mainly from the media. Russel howerd has a show in the UK where he states facts but presents it in a funny way. What do you think the rest of the world see when they see America in the media

Is this show a real representation of what typical Americans are.
And is British TV portraying America correctly. |

IDK... Im not a US citizen...but i do live in a country that is heavily influenced by the US...historically and economically... Over the years, the US political and social climate has changed in terms of overall satisfaction... When once we considered the US as a go to for immigration, studies, opportunities... Now...it just seems to me that the US has reached a tipping point in the index...whether it will plateau or drop, remains to be seen... But then that's just my humble opinion... I guess the "big boys" will be determining that outcome... |

Everyone has a right to express what they believe in... It doesnt preclude being tolerant or understanding of those that believe other wise... Tho it is a fact that over the ages, people who have suppressed the freedom of speech and expression (among other suppressed rights) have been met with anger and rebellion...there are also instances when dictatorship has been met with peaceful revolutions....but one way or another, people individually and /or collectively will always have that desire to be free to be themselves and to better themselves...the problem is when they overstep their personal rights and take over someone else's... I think there are those who respond to suppression of their rights thru anger, tho may be justified in it, are simply being intolerant as well...and exert their rights through a show of force...hence the riotings...not in all cases, mind you...but somehow, increasingly so nowadays...the sad part is... Most changes effected through this process are likely to be short lived and are just done as a gut reaction to the present situation for public satisfaction and not for the long term effects that are really needed... |

I sympathise and understand a point of view that has been pushed to one side, I think the violence is abhorrent and that goes for everyone that has either blood on their hands or anyone that has engaged in a beating like that.
