Look at buctootim's post at the bottom of the previous page. I think you might have a false impression of what happened, and that's influencing your opinion.

Bloody hell, maybe you really are just misinformed instead of disingenuous then. George Floyd wasn't shot, he was strangled by being knelt on the neck over the course of a few minutes. In any case, I never said she was armed, but she was certainly part of a group that included armed individuals. She had certainly committed a crime, she was trespassing, as well as breaking and entering, and was heading towards some of the most senior figures in US politics with unknown intentions. As for her being a veteran, that just means she should have known better. It certainly didn't affect in any way the officers decision, as he would have had no way of knowing that. I don't think you'll find too many allies if you're going to try and continue to suggest that shooting wasn't justified.

The Capitol was being overrun, she was part of a group of armed rioters, and they'd just broken through into the corridor leading to the vice-president's office. Just being outside too close to the Capitol building outside is grounds for an armed response, especially when the entire House and the entire Senate is there. Trying to compare her being shot in those circumstances to what happened to George Floyd is utterly disingenuous. What happened to her is tragic, but no-one should be surprised that her actions caused that response. It's a miracle she was the only one that was shot. If anything her blood is more on Trump's hands than the poor officer that shot her.

Twitter have locked his account, and reportedly his staff are preventing him from making any more press releases for the moment. It's possible we'll see the 25th Amendment actually invoked.

Twitter have actually deleted this and the video message now. Video also deleted from Facebook and YouTube.

Been reported that the woman that was shot has died. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/01/06/dc-protests-trump-rally-live-updates/

I was reacting more to the fact it was more or less justifying the actions they'd taken so far. It was supposed to convince people to leave and it's more likely to have the opposite effect.

What the utter **** was that message from Trump!?

Trump apparently refusing to make a statement actually asking them to leave. He's complicit in this.

Bloody Hell. I'm watching it, but it doesn't seem real. It's literally the Capitol building overrun. People are flying the Confederate flag inside... It'll be a miracle if this gets resolved without anyone being killed. As it is there'll be people killed by COVID being spread by that crowd.

Oh no, sorry to hear that Hope they all come through ok.

Vaccine development and procurement, we've done well with, at least so far. Also identification of variants of COVID, we've at least given everywhere else a chance of stopping the UK variant before it becomes established.

Sorry to hear that Turkish, hope he pulls through ok.

Just for the moment at least... we're back in the title race

Fantastic performance. Limited Liverpool to almost nothing in front of goal, despite their possession, and that without Vestergaard and Romeu. Diallo... could be an absolute gem we've found there! Credit to Valery who effectively killed most of Liverpool's momentum after he came on. Happy New Year SWF ^_^

GTFI!

Suspect it's partly a massive number of Liverpool fans rubbernecking as they don't allow match threads on RAWK.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... What a goal that nearly was!

Whelp. Alamo time then 😕

First save for Forster! Did well to make it look comfortable to be fair.

Contact outside the box and the touch from his hands wasn't a foul. Should have been a foul just outside the box I reckon.

Weathered the early storm after half time well, but need to hold on to possession a bit more really...

Adams recovering from concussion in the last game, Romeu picked up a knock in training at the weekend.

That's a properly special finish from Ings for that goal... IF he meant it!
