, same rule should apply now if they fear the consequences then crime would be under control.
Remember desecration I mean de-segregation, separating black people & white people, in the USA ended in 1964.
Furthermore the UK & USA are two of the few anglo-saxon nations still engaged in neo-colonialism.
We need stronger police but we need OUR police not theirs. The many innocents especially people of color like George Floyd, knee on neck, all of that is a part of their continuation of racial persecutuion. In simple terms they dont like blacks and will never allow us to rise up to our full potential.
Calling in their authority is like putting the chains back on but with padding on the cuffs to make us feel better. Behind the excuse of solving serious crime -which we all want solved- behind that lies the real occupation. The war on drugs is an excuse to militarize police & nullify individual rights & privacy. Besides, they don't really care what we put in our body or they'd be testing the street drugs regularly & issuing public health announcements.
wiped out the Arawak's & Caribs, native americans are 3rd class in their own nation.
thats where the birds fly
airplanes that drop bales...fly by
Tola man broke? thats a damn lie
Take a trip to a slave trade museum or something refresh your mind to what humans did & understand the struggle to freedom is not over. We do not make weapons here so who is really to blame. The guns spewing out of America & those they send to war that cycle back into our & the international community is the biggest threat & catalyst to empower crime, much more than some powder drug we arent even interested in consuming as a culture.
So why dont they arrest themselves for allowing this to happen? Why dont they set up the gun sellers and gun smugglers like they did to Andrew Fahie?
If the guns were coming from africa you can be sure they would do something.
We have unelected governor over us like the old times. Sorry Guv you might be a cool guy that role is a remnant of colonialism. The UK has always been responsible for security so why do we demonize our own that this territory is constantly in the news. They need to stop it though Id wager the other folk have weapons and smuggle drugs and not always in the news. In fact it seems they are never caught up.
HIS HIDDEN AGENDER / AND HE THINKS IS DOING SOMETHING SO
FANTASTIC OR GOD'S GIFT TO US , LOONS LIKE WE ARE DEALING WITH AN EGOTISTICAL PSYCHO , THAT HAS A PLATFORM TO FLEXX OF HIMSELF JUST TO BE SEEN
