Wow all that fricking text when all you could have said is "I don't have sympathy for black poeople and I think they are criminals who get what they deseve" jesus christ you are a delusional little frick. Good job completley ignoring and twisting my stats. You fricking moron. It's racist because clearly, by all evidence shown, they are killed in far higher porportions, but you look for justificarions rather than a solution to the problem. That's why it's racist. You don't actually give af about changing. You're trying to say everything is fine. It's not. Go talk to a few black people. It's healthy for you. They don't bite.

This is your safe space tho I get it. You don't have the balls to say what you actually feel on normal social media cause you'd get dragged for exposing your ignorance. Enjoy your safe space snowflake.

I'm not certain this is true. Can you link all of the evidence?

Here's a question for you. How many links would it take for you to actually open your mind and not try to look for some bs justification to keep your beliefs? Cause i could spam you with about 1,000 of them, but i doubt it would do any good for someone like you because you've probably made up your mind. To be asking for links on that topic means you are absurdly ignorant to the point of doing it purposefully or trolling. Which is it?

I'm guessing you used math to reach this conclusion?
I hope you realize that math is racist.

So that's 2.5 times more likely to be struck (not killed) by lightning than killed by cops.
Unarmed blacks are 5x more likely to be struck by lightning than killed by cop
Regardless, the more important comparison is how much more likely is an unarmed black likely to be killed by police than some other race/group. For example, roughly 24 unarmed blacks are killed each year compared to 30 unarmed whites; however, since blacks represent about 13.4% of the population and whites represent about 76.5% of the population, which means the odds of black being killed AND unarmed is 4.6 times greater than the odds of being killed AND unarmed.
Furthemore, looking at the sample of police shootings fatalities of unarmed individuals (109 for blacks; 138 for whites) out of the sample of all police shooting fatalities (1265 blacks; 2416 whites), black fatalties were 1.6 times more likely to be unarmed than whites.
So altogether, since unarmed blacks are more likely to be killed compared to their share of the population AND more likely to be killed compared to their share of fatalities than whites (and overall), then this clearly says more about unarmed black fatalities than a comparison to some other cause of death that aren't directly caused by a represenative of the government.

Why would I say something I don't believe?

What is delusional about statistics? Why do statistics make you lose emotional control and resort to profanity and name calling?
You are obviously reading things into my posts that simply aren't there. Tell me exactly where my logic is wrong. Be specific.
1) A person being struck by lightning is extremely rare. Agree?
2) An unarmed black person being killed by the police is even more rare. Agree?
3) Therefore, an unarmed black person being killed by the police is more rare than something that we consider "extremely rare". Agree?
So if something happens even less than an "extremely rare" event, why are some calling it a widespread problem?

Funny you say that...just heard from my friend Officer Brandon Tatum...

There's about 44 million African Americans in this country
Last year 245 were killed by cops. 9 were unarmed.
If my math is correct that’s 0.000006%, literally
What are yall even doing at this point?

Our math is very similar. Based on the national reaction ("We have a widespread problem that demands major fundamental change"), do these numbers surprise you?

It is true that more unarmed blacks are killed by cops than unarmed whites, proportional to their respective populations. That fact alone doesn't mean we have a major, widespread problem because it's possible (notice I didn't say "certain") that many of those shootings were justified/self-defense. We know blacks commit crimes at a higher rate, so it's possible that the disparity is attributable to cases where cops are defending themselves.
