That's totally irrelevant but you simpletons keep trotting it out. The ugly truth is this: Blacks, particularly young black males, are many times more likely to die at the hands of police than their white counterparts. Any contact at all with law enforcement is a crap shoot for even the most upstanding black citizen, even those who have been coached in how to survive it.

Except your "ugly truth" isn't backed up by statistical research and actual facts.

Don't let that stop you though.

u dumbasses keep spouting this off but the facts don't really back it up. Sure, technically you're correct. But maybe, just maybe, it's because they commit 5x the crime? Just a shot in the dark

because blacks are statistically 50 times more likely killed by other blacks than they are a police officer.

The problem is that it SHOULD be irrelevant, but it isn't. The black on black crime rate is irrelevant to the discussion of whether or not police brutality is an issue, but when you call your movement Black Lives Matter, you make black on black crime an issue. When you post articles and rants saying that you have to tell your kids to fear for their life with the police, you make black on black crime an issue, because your kid is significantly more likely to be shot by his fricking neighbor than he is by the police.

As I've said numerous times, BLM took a noble and legitimate issue - police militarization and brutality - and obliterated it with racial overtones and purely ignorant arguments.
