@GarryH1963 Firstly, Wow... 42% of the charged were white, british. Do your research before you make such a racially dense generalisation about "blacks".
Secondly, did you genuinely say their "species"... Do you consider other ethnicities to be a breed of dog or are you just unaware what "species" actually means?
I find it hard to believe that in the 21st century ignorant, fascist bigots like yourself still exist.

I cannot recall a time when white people went on the rampage when a white man was shot or died facing the police, i.e. suicide, etc by the police..no-one rioted when Roal Moat died or Derek Bird..yet blacks riot everytime one of their species gets killed..they cry victimisation everytime..if a person has a gun and fires at police then the police have no option but to shoot

Riots are part of British history. Go and read a history book or ten you thick sods.
More people are killed by coppers (in custody and in the streets) than have been killed in rioting by rioters over the last fifty years.

The news can’t come to the realization that the reason for this is because a black man has been shoot dead by the police and most of the video footage is showing white people looting. It is more going on about this than what the news is saying. They broadcast what they want to broadcast.
