...why don't they wait for the outcome of the "trial"?

[Sqad]

TTT....you are correct, but I will leave you to wander through the black communities in the Western World to explain that.

[ToraToraTora]

"I think that Mr Floyd wouldn't have thought that crime paid. Would you be happy to die without trial? " - for what?

[ToraToraTora]

sqad, so now we judge crime on local opinion do we? right oh!

[TonyV]

Because TTT the state / city believe damages awarded will be significantly higher after the trial. It's 6 and two 3's, the bean counters just what to mitigate the claim.

[Atheist]

TTT 20:55. I don't understand your point.

[webbo3]

They should wait for the pay out the sue them for the damage caused by the riots and looting

[Mamyalynne]

If they have the looters and rioters why should they wait to deal with them?

[ToraToraTora]

no crime has been committed so why are they paying out?

[ToraToraTora]

athiest: "TTT 20:55. I don't understand your point. " - it's simple enough, no crime has been committed.

[TonyV]

See my reply at 20.59

[royfromaus]

Call me a selfish twait but I wouldn't trade my life for 27 million dollars...even if it did make my family rich.

[ToraToraTora]

[Deskdiary]

Poor choice of source Mamya

Wouldn't it be better to make your own mind up rather than relying on a source with an agenda?

[Mamyalynne]

I'm quite clear what I think, it's TTT asking the question.

[gulliver1]

Well at least Boris only gives Tax payers money to his Cronies , Not to criminals . He has got something right then.

[royfromaus]

I think George Floyd was a scumbag but a scumbag that died because of the ott actions of a scumbag American police officer.

[Deskdiary]

Can anybody explain to me what Gulliver's post about Boris Johnson has to do with this thread please, because I'm struggling to see the connection.

Or is he just trolling in his usual pathetic way?

I'm starting to think Gulliver actually fancies BJ and he's 'negging' him to convince the rest of us that he doesn't want to give BJ a BJ.

[TonyV]

Yes I think so TTT.
