@chris_spencer04 @sean_the_sheep9 @narindertweets @nw_nicholas Perhaps. But he’s far from alone in commenting. The world is awash with it. He is almost alone in being condemned for it though. He’s also not wrong - as attested by shared policy documents and serving and ex police officers.

@FFannakapan4 @Neets21 @SandraDunn1955 Very different things. Conflating the two is an awful thing to do.

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@Neets21 It was an appalling thing to happen but not something that was influenced by institutionalised DEI policies and training. You’re conflating the actions of a psychopath with specific police instructions to treat ethnicities differently. This is a very stupid take.

@donmcgowan Not a rant. It’s AI slop

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@narindertweets @JustAGuyInNJ @BBC Righteous anger when George Floyd was killed - along with calls for fury, rage and riots. Now those same people are calling for calm and silence. The hypocrisy is as sickening as it is shameful.

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@Heccles94 What a stupid analogy. Imagine conflating a disability with preferential treatment.
Sausage.

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@zarahussain999 @ReubenFox9 But to negatively label whole groups of people is a) reductive to the point of stupidity b) polarising c) othering d) hypocritical - unless you also do so when people march or riot for anything - if you don’t, you’re simply displaying your own prejudice

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@zarahussain999 @Julielu74731764 Really? How many? Were BLM rioters, far left?

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@NomadKeith @colinrtalbot Wasn’t a Kirkland…

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

A violent criminal is killed thousands of miles away and people call for riots, attacks on police and “taking the knee”.

A young boy is murdered here and dragged along the floor by police whilst dying - and those same people are telling others to be quiet about it.

Dicks.

@narindertweets @metpoliceuk Do you have memory problems?

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@chris_spencer04 @sean_the_sheep9 @narindertweets @nw_nicholas “Poked his head out”. Millions of people are extremely upset about what happened and the circumstances that fed into it happening. Utterly bizarre that you think a democratically elected MP and political party leader should remain silent.

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@chris_spencer04 @narindertweets @nw_nicholas Why should he be silent?
What is the democratically elected MP and opposition party leader allowed to speak about? It’s THE national conversation- and you think he should be quiet? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don’t think anyone should be quiet about this.

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@narindertweets There wasn’t a Summer of race riots - unless you’re talking about BLM?
And there should be rage - at the societal context that allows a dying boy to be handcuffed and dragged along the floor -while his murderer was never even handcuffed - not at the time or later.

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@Vocal_GenX Great. Let’s all have tanks and automatic rifles.
Your argument isn’t as good as you think it is.

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@narindertweets @errjustsaying You’re not making sense here. Whataboutery doesn’t even work in your favour.

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@recusant_raja @eve338 @AndyBurnhamGM Eve has run away. I get that people can make mistakes. But own them and apologise.

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@Heccles94 Wow! You made a post about how if only the people who agree with you could vote. Narcissist much?

[Geoff Shepherd @shepherd_geoff]

@narindertweets I almost always don’t agreee with you but on this issue, I do. Henry’s death was horrific. The killer needs to be dealt with. The police officers beed to be dealt with. But none of this is a reflection on our great Sikh communities.
