We are going to be sorting out for some time a variety of issues across the country following the tragic death of George Floyd in Minneapolis who was in the hands of the police.
We wondered whether readers thought it could happen here and how you think about what has been done to strengthen relationships between the community and law enforcement.

Anyone’s death is a tragedy. Even the death of a criminal. Let’s remember that it was Mr Floyd who initiated this event by breaking the law, thereby causing the police to be called.
New video evidence has apparently arisen showing Mr Floyd strenuously resisting arrest. We should wait for the facts before we judge anyone. Mr Floyd is certainly no hero as he is being proclaimed, but as I said, no one deserves to die that way.
Peaceful protest is the acceptable way to express displeasure with current events. We are a country of protesters!
With regard to the riots, these are thugs with an anarchist agenda. They use a tragedy to sow discord and division in our country. They are nothing more than domestic terrorists. They do nothing to advance the call for justice. They only destroy.
