flogel41 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 12 hours ago, Spellczech said: What is a race? Without looking up a dictionary, I'd say you could describe it as "a genetic similarity which manifests itself phenotypically There are probably half a dozen definitions in the dictionary and another definition in law. Interestingly, since the genome project, race is essentially a defunct term in biology. There are greater genetic differences between two groups in Africa than those same groups and a European. You only need to go back a thousand years to find a common ancestor for all Europeans alive today. (Only 7-10 thousand to find a common ancestor for everyone in the world.) Race is essentially a social construct and really we have more in common than we have differences. Which is both reassuring and terrifying!

But that is what happens when you have a different view to what's going on today. This however is racist. Except calling BLM protesters 'feral savages'. Yet the far more violent, white, EDL crew were just a few 'nutters'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He died in custody (or maybe was killed) and it became a racism case, because he was black and the police were white?

Those stories grow arms and legs to suit the right racist narrative , he had a “ machete “ this suits the “ black man with a knife “ almost on par with the black rapist going to rape your wife , the bogey man .

JudyJudyJudy Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Charles Darwin knew the score Good morning all, welcome to Sunday School, Learn, Share and Create Change. Meet John Edmonstone, The person who taught Charles Darwin taxidermy and fulled his curiosity on Evolution. As many people know, in 1825, a 16-year-old Charles Darwin came to Edinburgh University to study medicine, and to learn skills that would lead him to his incredible discoveries and theories later in life. However, fewer people know that one of Darwin's teachers in Edinburgh was John Edmonstone, a freed slave from a plantation in what is now Guyana. Darwin paid John to give him lessons about taxidermy, as well as the flora and fauna of South America, to help him prepare for his voyage south on the HMS Beagle. Darwin used the techniques he had learned from John Edmonstone to preserve the finches he caught on the groundbreaking expedition, which in turn led him to develop his earth-shattering Theory of Evolution. Darwin's Galapagos finches - the diversity of their beak forms helped Darwin to form his theory of evolution. In his memoirs, Darwin spoke warmly of John, saying: "He gave me lessons for payment, and I used often to sit with him, for he was a very pleasant and intelligent man." Edmonstone learnt taxidermy while he was still enslaved at the plantation in Warrows Place, Mibiri Creek near Demerara in Guyana (then British Guiana) in South America. The British naturalist Charles Waterton visited the owner of the plantation, Charles Edmonstone - and he took John Edmonstone with him on his bird collecting trips. John would have to quickly stuff and preserve the birds shortly after they were caught to avoid having them spoil in the hot climate. Edmonstone was freed after travelling to Scotland with the plantation owner in 1817. Slavery in the British Empire was not legally ended until 1834 (the act did not apply to India). Charles Edmonstone was originally from Dunbartonshire, and returned to Scotland with his wife to live at his estate, Cardross Park. However, John Edmonstone moved to Edinburgh where he lived at 37 Lothian Street, just a few doors down from Darwin's student lodgings. He earned a living by stuffing birds at the Natural Museum - and teaching taxidermy to student Comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try to fire a weapon at armed police then that automatically results in retaliation with lethal force, hence "suicide by cop". A taser can be potentially a lethal weapon. Whether the outcome was what the victim expected, who knows but if they had thought about it perhaps they wouldn't have fired the taser.

A taser can be potentially a lethal weapon. Never ever seen or used a taser weapon, did see film of a taser being used multiple times on a suspect who died as a result, so I would guess that this is an indication that multiple shots could kill. This I would submit the police in their defence would state that they were in fear and alarm for their lives and took appropriate measures. However justice has already been done, the additional suspect in the killing the Wendys fast food restaurant was burned down by some activist group.
