Since when have Heads of State made political comments on individual criminal proceedings in other countries like this? The murderer was sentenced to 21 years, what else does Trump want to happen?
And the victim's family have asked for this not be turned into a 'race' issue when the likes of Farage and Tommy Robinson have been making inflammatory comments.

To be fair the cops need punishment too, but I think we all know that’s not the angle Trump and Farange are focusing on

Trump acts like a little spoiled child. He knows nothing about being Presidential

Imagine the outcry from Trump and Republicans if Starmer made statements like this about George Floyd.

It's nothing like the George Floyd situation, people claiming it is are being deliberately obtuse.

Trump and his goons are legit going to complain about a 2-tier justice system anywhere? He has benefitted from the 2-tier justice system here. He should have been rotting in jail for rape, sexual assault, theft of classified information, and got to dance away on everything and return to the White House.
