An erratically driven Mercedes with blacked out windows - apparently.

Until this stuff hit the news I'd never heard of the 'complainants' and certainly wouldn't recognise them. All I'd see are two people in a car (sadly associated) with crimes . . and in London I'd have been tempted to shoot the shit out of it first

But ONLY about the handcuffing. They don't seem to have been handcuffed initially, as is it her seen holding the child? They DIDN'T simply, quietly and calmly get out of the car, as normal people would do. She had to be almost dragged out. If that you're awkward, then you're acting suspiciously. What's so complicated about that?

As happened at a BLM protest barrier in Atlanta.

An eight-year-old girl has been shot dead in Atlanta after at least two people opened fire on the car she was in.
...
According to officials, Secoriea was in the car with her mother and another adult when the driver attempted to pass through illegally placed barricades. They were trying to get into a car park, but the entrance was blocked by armed individuals.

Maybe some would pop up and say that it was their own fault for driving a Mercedes, wouldn't surprise me at all ..

Why on earth would you say something as stupid as your last sentence?

Do you have to be so rude?

Hate to break it to you but in the real world, there are actually people who get triggered by this sort of laughable "reporting":

Shocking moment raging Mercedes driver tries to mow down police officer after he was stopped for driving while disqualified as he is jailed for 12 months

Police officer tries to smash window of stolen Mercedes with his baton before car speeds off into a dead end and suspected thieves try to escape but are caught

Mercedes driver flees scene of crash on foot leaving an unbuckled BABY in the vehicle after smashing into police car during a two-mile pursuit

True I'm afraid, however I think that's the way the whole BLM thing has decended into ridiculous and petty arguements about statues, street names, pub names, stop & search, and the need to employ more BAME people whatever the cost

It is and always has been, about having total power and control over everybody and everything.

Just look at the number of people that have been forced out for having the "wrong" opinions, or simply not expressing support. They turn violent when certain words are allegedly used by White people, but mysteriously Black people use them each and every day without incident. It's a case of "you can only do and say what we allow you to". Try watching a few TV series or Films that are set in a Black environment.

Just one example

Flint — An 18-year-old Mount Morris Township man has been charged and is being sought in the assault of a manager at the Macy’s department store in the Genesee Valley Center.
...
In surveillance video obtained from Macy’s by Flint Township Police, Palmer is allegedly seen walking around the store. He then approaches and sucker-punches the manager in the head from behind, knocking him to the floor, according to authorities.
The video allegedly shows Palmer continuing to strike the manager while the employee is on the floor. Palmer then exits the store with another man.
Leyton indicated that despite public comments on social media, the police investigation did not uncover any evidence of provocation by the store manager.
“This was an unprovoked attack on a Macy’s employee,” Leyton said Friday. “This behavior, as seen on the video, is unacceptable, it is criminal and it cannot be allowed.
“We don’t believe any racial slur was made by the store manager, and even if there had been, it does not condone nor justify the assault by Mr. Palmer,” he said.

Leyton also said he and his senior staff reviewed the case for possibly charging Palmer with a hate crime, called ethnic intimidation by statute, but he said there is insufficient probable cause evidence that would support it.
The store manager is white and the suspect is African American.
“I know a lot of people are calling this a hate crime but, under the laws of Michigan, the evidence simply does not support that charge,” he said.

How? What other motive was there meant to be?

Strange that the attackers friend, was filming the attack from the beginning.

Can we get away from relentless point scoring at all? Can we actually come up with some sort of way forward? Can we actually become a diverse society for real?Also can we really relate what happens in the US with the situation here?

Use of the N word is a prime example of this. Routinely used by black youths to each other, but deemed extremely offensive if others use the term.

It is either offensive, or it isn't, regardless of who uses the term.

Think of the word queer.The word that the gay fraternity took for their own and used..How is it different for black youths to use the N word in the same way?
