Apparently they can carry an AR-15 and shoot two people, then get taken in to custody with no problems. That’s probably why it’s not reported very often.

OP is waking up. Distraction is all they care about. Divide and conquer is more real than dirt.

Funny that they didn't report the race of people that Biden's dog bit.

The Washington Post began tracking police killings after the Ferguson/Michael Brown incident.

The numbers are pretty steady at about 1,000 per year.



quote:

The overwhelming majority of people killed are armed. Nearly half of all people fatally shot by police are white. Most of these shootings draw little or no attention beyond a news story.

Some become flash points in the country’s ongoing reckoning about race and police. The ones prompting the loudest outcries often involve people who are black, unarmed, or both, shootings that have led to the harshest scrutiny of police.

Since The Post began tracking the shootings, black people have been shot and killed by police at disproportionate rates — both in terms of overall shootings and the shootings of unarmed Americans.

The number of black and unarmed people fatally shot by police has declined since 2015, but whether armed or not, black people are still shot and killed at a disproportionately higher rate than white people.

All whites shot by police identified as black, otherwise none would have happened. Wake up.

But if you are going to use the entire black vs white population, not all of us have police interactions btw, then you have to admit that blacks commit violent crimes at much higher rates than whites. Like much much higher.

You can also maybe delve deeper and say higher percent of the black populations are in cities with a larger overall population. That comes with more crime and more police.

Not a shooting but...In my city the director of parks and rec used to be a deputy and does detail work. He was restraining a heavy set teen Autistic kid and sat on him. The detail officer/director of parks still had about 100 pounds on the teen. The teen died similar to George Floyd.
It made TMZ and all the news. JP were just lucky the kid was Hispanic and not black. °
