@ThomasWillett9 Using bullying and intimidation to prevent others speaking cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be viewed as "exercising their own right to free speech" you utter sandwich

@GyllKing Cosplay activism should not be a shield for baseless malicious claims of hate speech, pseudo-science, or the deliberate misrepresentation of ideas to falsely claim they deny the humanity of marginalised groups and/or seek to manipulate the law to exclude people from civil society

@mbroschools @hewitson10 @Adh80 The comparison posed by TP is between "rage" and "anger". Both terms have been used in statements by politicians on different occasions in response to tragic deaths. On both occasions those statements preceded protests—and rioting, criminal damage and violence against police. HTH

@TheVietGwent @KathrynDW59 @SkyNews @TrevorPTweets The inquest will (rightly) investigate this, and presumably seek evidence from trauma surgeons qualified to judge the survivability of the injury. https://t.co/bt9OLmMFC0

@delestoile @DrMagier My husband and I, both doctors, reached a similar conclusion. A major trauma centre was minutes away. This could have had a dramatically different ending if managed appropriately by the police.

@maxwell_marlow "I don't think anyone is suggesting that the fact that he's carved them into stone means, you know, that he's absolutely, you know, not going to break them or anything like that."

Still the most Monty Python-esque moment in UK political history.

@PerrottStella The victim was on the ground, incapacitated, bleeding from 5 knife wounds, observed to have a mouth full of blood, pupils observed to be unresponsive, and he had to be held up. How was it "not unreasonable" to assume he was the perpetrator?

@v_j_freeman Bizarre how Burnham's record as MP and minister has been so comprehensively memory-holed. Perhaps understandable as a matter of pure desperation, maybe ability to empathise w/ppl will help slightly, but really the only strong advantage he brings is his name isn't Keir Starmer.

@wlaotearoa @Th_Angelopoulos @KonstantinKisin The examples are obviously not even remotely comparable—they are not examples of victims being wrongly arrested (on basis of skin colour). It is the *how/why* the victim was arrested that is the pertinent factor here, not the death in custody which followed directly from that.

@WalkerMarcus Perhaps they could consider putting their preferred acronyms on their name tags, emails etc

@ReemAmirIbrahim May he bring comfort and inspire us all to continue standing together in the spirit of unity and mutual respect.

@tagliatelier The examples are (clearly) not comparable—they are incidents in police custody, an entirely separate issue. This should be immediately & intuitively obvious to anyone with an IQ above room temperature. Don't use your lack of cognitive dexterity to waste my time in future please.

[mattur @mattur]

@SangitaMyska Could you understand Farage "calling for 'pure, cold, rage'" in this instance if the two cases were in any way comparable?

[mattur @mattur]

@Th_Angelopoulos @KonstantinKisin >This is testable.

All your previous examples could have happened to a white or ethnic minority person. The recent incident is causing so much anger because the victim's treatment was directly determined by his skin colour, in accodrance with recent Police guidelines. Try again.

@DAaronovitch @StephenAlias You may have noticed people are angry about the way the police behaved when they arrived at the stabbing, behaviour that included handcuffing the unresponsive dying victim. Fair to assume people are not advocating all crime victims should be handcuffed I think, don’t you?

[mattur @mattur]

@DAaronovitch Was she arrested and handcuffed when police arrived? When she reported she had been raped did police reply “I don’t think you have, mate”? Did police behaviour directly or indirectly contribute to her death? You used to be better than this. You also used to be better at this.
