No Indy,

George Floyd, regardless of his criminal history did not receive "justice" by being executed by a vigilante rough copper Derek Chauvin. Regardless of what you think of me, I firmly believe in the rule of law. Chauvin through due process received justice, something he didn't afford Floyd through his murderous action. The outcome of a guilty verdict is rare in the US in these types of racially motivated cases. In the past it has been common practice, despite substantial evidence to the contrary, for the perpetrator to walk free, or not even to be charged at all. There are millions of rednecked racists in the US who think like you and others on this forum. Maybe where you originally hail from a white dominated police state was acceptable, but with the downfall of the apartheid regime you were forced to flee to Australia. Unfortunately you may have found some of Australia's values alien to you, eg this support for a POLICE STATE was not there.

Paul1405,
Looks to me like your one & all goal in your life is to incite disunity ! Why don't you use all your energy to improve the healing of scabs instead of tearing at them ?

Not currently living in the USA - it makes if difficult
for many of us to fully understand the situation that
currently exists over there. But when even their President
is pleased as to the outcome of the verdict in this
case - it should give us a glimmer that perhaps the country
does have a racial problem - and that police brutality does
exist for black people over there.

Logically, we've had many examples of police brutality -
it's recorded history. Read the link I gave earlier of the
many cases. In this case - if a man is yelling "I can't breathe"
And he's not fighting you, and you've only arrested him for
the suspicion of passing a counterfeit bank not - then
keeping your knee on his throat for almost ten minutes does
amount to police brutality. In any other country - it would
have been a slam-dunk for murder.

In any case - a jury found Chauvin guilty - and other
police officers also testified. It now appears that there
will also be an investigation into the police force there
with hopefully recommendations being made for reform.
A big broom needs to be used to clean up that force.
And possibly this is just the beginning.

There is evidence in America that Islam is behind the critical race theory now taught in schools and the claims of white supremacy as it is here in Australia promoted by Islamists. The Marxists and Islam both have an agenda to destroy western society and have no plans to improve relations based in race as it gives them a platform to cause conflict.

Note Paul has not made any suggestions to improve the reconciliation of aboriginals with Australian society only to expect hand outs and financial repatriation.

Hi Josephus,

I think that many people are beginning to understand
the importance of inclusion regarding self-determination
for our Indigenous people. A voice in Parliament would
be a step in the right direction as well as recognising
them in our Constitution. (the fact that Australia
was not terra naulius but did have occupants). If our
Indigenous people could have a say in matters that concern
them - this would be a good start.

If other countries can do it - why not us?
