Male Lives Matter - 95.7% of police shooting fatalities were males

Forget race, the killing of males by the police is out of hand. Women accounted for 26.7% of arrests in 2014, the year with the most recent data. However, in 2015, 948 of the 990 fatal police shootings involved a male victim. Furthermore, 90 of the 93 unarmed shootings involved a male victim - 96.7% were male.
I think Male Lives Matter is a rallying cry we can all support!

I'll take it a step further to prove my point - blacks or African Americans represented 27.8% of all arrests in 2014. They represented 26.1% of all police shooting fatalities in 2015.
Whites (including hispanic) accounted for 69.4% of arrests in 2014 and 67.7% of police shooting fatalities in 2015. 2.8% were unknown race and 3.8% were another race other than white including hispanics and black.
For the millionth time, police brutality and militarization is an issue - 93 unarmed people were killed in 2015 - but it has nothing to do with race.

Police had 53 Million contact situations with civilians last year, 26,000 of which led to a complaint of excessive force. That's .049%. Of the 26,000 cases, only 8% were sustained. So in over 53 million contacts with civilians .0039% of them led to an actual case.
IMO, there is no issue here. Let them continue their job.

Millionth time? You're the first I've seen on here say that. Thank you. But if the people protesting are saying these ppl (who thw majority is middle class white men) are racist, should we just say we aren't racist and there is nothing to see here or try and fix it?
And fixing the 2 things you said is an answer to the problem whether or not you wanna bring up race.

Correct. The biased people here are those who create the narrative by filling in the void spaces with their imagination. Race isn't the issue here.
The myth of BLM
quote:
The lower proportion of black deaths due to police shootings can be attributed to the lamentable black-on-black homicide rate. There were 6,095 black homicide deaths in 2014—the most recent year for which such data are available—compared with 5,397 homicide deaths for whites and Hispanics combined. Almost all of those black homicide victims had black killers.
Police officers—of all races—are also disproportionately endangered by black assailants. Over the past decade, according to FBI data, 40% of cop killers have been black. Officers are killed by blacks at a rate 2.5 times higher than the rate at which blacks are killed by police.
Some may find evidence of police bias in the fact that blacks make up 26% of the police-shooting victims, compared with their 13% representation in the national population. But as residents of poor black neighborhoods know too well, violent crimes are disproportionately committed by blacks. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, blacks were charged with 62% of all robberies, 57% of murders and 45% of assaults in the 75 largest U.S. counties in 2009, though they made up roughly 15% of the population there.

The Black Lives Matter movement claims that white officers are especially prone to shooting innocent blacks due to racial bias, but this too is a myth. A March 2015 Justice Department report on the Philadelphia Police Department found that black and Hispanic officers were much more likely than white officers to shoot blacks based on “threat misperception”—that is, the mistaken belief that a civilian is armed.
A 2015 study by University of Pennsylvania criminologist Greg Ridgeway, formerly acting director of the National Institute of Justice, found that, at a crime scene where gunfire is involved, black officers in the New York City Police Department were 3.3 times more likely to discharge their weapons than other officers at the scene.
This whole narrative is a farce for big government politicians to gain power over people who lack creative thinking skills. Mainly SJWs.
