dont commit crime dont get killed
True, yet you're using a strawman argument.
you can play with the numbers all you want.
You call it playing with the numbers, I call it using logic. Death in a much smaller populace delivers more impact. Even your quote states what I said - "Black Americans account for less than 13 percent of the population but they are shot and killed by the police at a rate that's over twice as high as for white Americans."
I don't get why people get emotional over politics.
did you ever think that black people commit more violent crimes per capita and thus put themselves in danger of getting killed by the cops more. sheesh, got to spoon feed you pups.
We should probably address the fact that there are actual white supremacists in the police force and maybe address why cops are being taught/ conditioned to kill and how most cops tend to have psychopathic traits. Veterans are also preferred candidates and often have education requirements waived because of their experience.
Let's not forget that stop and frisk was racially biased and so people of color were more likely to be stopped, that ticket quotas or "productivity goals" do exist in some states, a stop can turn into a murder. The most interesting part of your response is that you acknowledge that cops kill, will kill, when cops are actually meant to deescalate situations.
