A line of Metropolitan Police officers “took a knee” in tribute to George Floyd today as thousands of protesters gathered outside Downing Street.
At least 15,000 Black Lives Matter protesters including actor John Boyega and singer Liam Payne gathered in London, ignoring social distancing guidelines, as a show of anger against the death of Mr. Floyd in the US.
And at least 2,000 of those demonstrated in front of Downing Street, shouting “take a knee” at Metropolitan Police officers guarding security gates.
Four officers obliged, to the approval of the crowds, who urged other officers to follow the example of their colleagues. The “take a knee” movement started in the US with NFL star Colin Kaepernick and has become a symbol of anger and solidarity against racism across the world.
In the US, officers recently started taking a knee in support of protesters following days of unrest after Mr. Floyd’s killing at the hands of police.
There were pockets of anger among the crowd, however, with protesters chanting “**** Boris” and “**** Trump”.
At least three missiles were thrown at police lines, with one officer punched and at least one demonstrator arrested. However, the abuse was sporadic, with the crowd largely shouting down the culprits during the demonstration outside Downing Street. …

Well, at least we know who they take orders from.
Cucked.
That didn’t work out very well for British Prime Minister Nevil Chamberlain and about 75,000,000 others.
Submissive weakness invites aggression. Guess the cops have to learn that all over again...

I wouldn’t object to them taking a knee if it was taking the kneeling position before opening fire on these a$$holes. But to take a knee before a crowd of rioters who would just as soon kill you as look at you is just telling them that you are pathetically weak and cowardly. They may as well wave a white flag and be peacefully marched off to be shoveled into a roadside ditch somewhere.
Um.....
Maybe “taking a knee” isn’t a good look under the circumstances.
;^)
The left and the media has made the Floyd death all about Trump. Every single story is about Trump and racism. Not about the deadly deeds of the Minneapolis police. It’s sickening and the corrupt media is disgusting for inciting race riots and accusing white people of being racist. They actually have young people taking knees before blacks. Turns my stomach.

Shhhh. That’ll be next.
The four cucks
Yep, it happened in a Democrat city, in a Democrat State.
But it’s Trump’s fault!
It is a major mistake to show weakness. These people have no ability to comprehend rational arguments. They make decisions based on emotion. Fear is the one emotion that they will understand to curb their illegal behavior. , Showing weakness does not invoke fear. Showing weakness simply emboldens them.
“Oh calm, dishonorable, vile submission”
Shakespeare always says it best.
A man kneels before God, and perhaps once before his bride to be, but that's it.
To kneel before anyone else is to cut off your own nuts and hand them to your new masters to keep in a trophy jar.
Haven’t college professors of late said Shakespeare is too white?
Britain has been and is gone.
