re: Survey asks: What percentage of people killed by police were black?

The liberals thinking 55-60% isn't surprising, but goes to show JUST how brainwashed they are and how much the media has misled them.

On one hand, you have to think they're mindless drones that don't research for themselves; on the other hand, you kinda feel like their thinking is justified by how much media and political attention any ONE killing of a black man gets. There's been riots and cities burned over months for the police killing a black man, you'd think it was MUCH more prevalent if you weren't informed.

I'm a federal law enforcement officer and I actually thought the number was LOWER than 25%. Regardless I usually side with the officers involved, I don't care if it's a black, white, brown, purple, yellow, green, blue, or pink person on the shooting or receiving end. There are a few exceptions to this, of course - and I will always condemn an officer that made an outright stupid or negligent mistake.

My surprise with this poll is the "very conservative" folks that think it's anywhere near 45%. And why are they that much higher than those that just consider themselves regular "conservative"?
