I’ve heard over the past couple of days about rioting over in London, and at first I heard it and shunned it. I than realized that because I’ve been exposed to these scenarios by the news so many times before it almost didn’t matter. After I continually heard different sides to the story, it began to intrigue me because what I was hearing had nothing to do with what the news told me, the different stories I’ve research boil down to an issue of race.
Not just a black vs. white thing but all races vs. each other it is crazy, there are reports all over about separate events, ranging from looters in a get away car running over and killing three Asian men and causing more riots to cops killing an unarmed black man in London(especially strange since firearms are banned). This is getting extremely serious and for some reason they are not talking about here in the states.
During the start of the riots the Prime Minister and Parliament were on a holiday, they were ordered to come back and have dispatched some 16,000 cops with rubber bullets. If you go back to the royal wedding there were more armed guards there. This will be an ongoing article, stories are changing everyday and more stories are coming in.
The idea of a racial riot is very frightening and seemingly real at this current time. One reporter for a black newspaper out there reports that the police have killed over 230 black males and have never been to court for one, and the source is actually a government watchdog group so the numbers were not fabricated. What stuck with me most was the sound of his voice, it’s like he knows what is about to happen. I will continually bring you more names and details over the following days, keep checking in.
