I have just looked and in the last 12 months there have been three BAME people killed at the hands of the UK police. Two were a terrorist raid and the other was wielding a knife.
The cause to stand with others oppressed is legitimate, although I don't remember too readily the protests against China for imprisoning over 1m people for having the temerity to have the 'wrong' religious views!
COVID-19 has killed 40,000+ lives in the UK and it appears to disproportionately affect BAME people. The majority on the 'Black Lives Matters' march looked to be BAME!
It is against the law to have gatherings of more than 5 people at the moment. Why were they not broken up? Beaches were rightly cleared at the weekend.
This gives the wrong message as every single person on that march, by the very definition, were breaking the law.
Weird times.
