Police officers and people who support them are 'evil'. Wow - no stereotyping going on here....

Police officers are people and as such some of them are going to be ******** and some of them will BECOME ******** due to what they get exposed to day after day, month after month, year after year on the job

You swallowed the entire bs narrative hook, line, and sinker.

People like you make me want to vomit.

Well said, but as usual not what they want to hear, so it can't be true.

Just to be fair to the point:

The argument has always been black Americans are disproportionally killed by police than whites. Whites would always have more as a total because whites make up a little over 61% of the country are white alone (meaning no other race included) and blacks are at 13%.

1,097 people were killed by police in 2022. 225 were black. That is 20.5% of the killings while making up 13 of the US Population. It's a disproportion. (It has actually gotten better as it was 27% of the killings in 2021.)

I don't think the argument is *more* black Americans are killed than white Americans by police and never has been. Just that it has been disproportionate to the populations which signal an issue that police are more prone to shooting and killing black individuals more so.

I'm not advocating either way here, just tryin to make sure we present it truthfully of what the argument has been and not what people tried to turn it into via total numbers. Of course the *more* there is of one group the likelihood is they will have more of as well.

Well, if we are going to be fair and bring statistics and population by % race into it then lets go all way. What % of violent crimes are attributable to each race. I think you will find that a certain 13% of the population commits a hugely disproportionate % of violent crimes.

Facts are not racist, they are just facts.

The poor and disadvantaged? Replace race with social class and I suspect you’ll find similar numbers.
