But do you really though? Or have you perhaps fallen for the same media trap the masses have? When minorities commit 80% of the crime, and white people still somehow manage to get killed by the police in higher numbers, is there an actual race problem? ?

We analyzed 990 police fatal shootings using data compiled by The Washington Post in 2015. After first providing a basic descriptive analysis of these shootings, we then examined the data for evidence of implicit bias by using multivariate regression models that predict two indicators of threat perception failure: (1) whether the civilian was not attacking the officer(s) or other civilians just before being fatally shot and (2) whether the civilian was unarmed when fatally shot. The results indicated civilians from “other” minority groups were significantly more likely than Whites to have not been attacking the officer(s) or other civilians and that Black civilians were more than twice as likely as White civilians to have been unarmed.

Risk is highest for black men, who (at current levels of risk) face about a 1 in 1,000 chance of being killed by police over the life course. The average lifetime odds of being killed by police are about 1 in 2,000 for men and about 1 in 33,000 for women. Risk peaks between the ages of 20 y and 35 y for all groups. For young men of color, police use of force is among the leading causes of death.

I would be interested to see the interpretation of the data. The WP data (as far as I know), shows that 7.28% of black killed by police were unarmed, and 6.83% of whites were unarmed. I'll leave it up to each individual to determine if they think that is significant. I don't think it is particularly revealing. (Asians are killed by cops while unarmed 7.69% of the time - so I guess cops hate asians more than blacks? Asian Lives Matter?)

Still doesn't explain the sexism towards men compared to women. Cops are clearly very sexist.

Misterman, sabad66 - the wheat is starting to get separated from the chaff.

I was being sarcastic. I love Bill

It was posted one page earlier. You have plenty to say about race (even if it’s patently dumb). Get real

Calgary police are just as bad. There are hundreds of people who die within police custody but there is no footage. I've personally know 3 people. 2 did have pre existing conditions but there were bruises on their body as if they were beat up. Hard to see the families asking questions as to why their son has gashes and bruises on them when they were responding to a well being call.

Well there we go, he would have died that day anyway. What's all this fuss about anyhow?

Policing is a hellishly tough profession. I'm in a weird spot where I respect the hell out of police, but also believe that people who don't share my skin color get routinely assaulted by those same police.

No exaggeration, I'm thankful for my white privilege.

Riots in many major US cities, they can forget their second stimulus cheque’s.

Should've been pretty clear I was being sarcastic about the "Opinion" as well. But then again, a lot of things being argued here should be pretty clear. I suppose I should be specifying.

Do you wipe your own ass? I said my 2 cents about race, which is that this isn't about race. Then, in a later post, I specifically mentioned I wasn't replying to any race points of view in Kertards post so as not to get involved in another discussion about race and upset the hive mind. But I see your subconscious racism is not allowing that topic out of your sights.

Crazy clips of cops getting dragged through the crowd Chicago, cops hitting protestors in LA with batons and Louisville cops dumping protestors water supplies.

They specifically say that sitting on his neck contributed to his death. The only issue I see with them saying the average person would've lived through this, is this pig potentially gets off on a technicality because some "expert" twists the hell out of the autopsy report in court.

Old lady in wheelchair attempts to stop looters. Already 7 out of 10 on drama scale.

With blacks in the USA dying of Corona at 2.4x the rate of whites: I can imagine the looting will be severe and non-stop. Its pretty obvious who is getting the short end of the stick, and if you aren't alive to enjoy it - might as well steal it while you can.

3 weeks ago, the news is all about the new US mutation. More contagious...

Now we have the lefties rioting in the streets ignoring all reasons to not congregate and social distancing.

Trump couldn't even come up with a plan this good...

What kills me is the radical left is playing into it hardcore. People I think to be sane are all about must protest,

I wonder if they realize they're the second wave?

[Tik-Tok]

Only "lefties" are protesting racism?

[msommers]

If you care about Social ____ you're Left, if you care about Economic _____ you're Right. There is no in between.

Didn't you hear? Not supporting something, and/or disagreeing with something, now means that you emphatically support that things opposite.
