The statistics prove that white people are gunned down by police more than black people. Those are facts. Not everything is about race but the media loves to drive that narrative into everythingQuote:

Not as measured against their representation in the regular population.Quote:

The answer to the first question is easy. The problems in policing — from militarization to lack of transparency, to misplaced incentives, to the lack of real accountability — certainly do affect everyone, not just black people. According to The Post’s database of fatal police shootings, since 2015 police have shot and killed about twice as many white people as black people.
But while police abuse and violence have the potential to harm anyone, as with virtually all of the other shortcomings of the criminal justice system, it disproportionately harms black people. Cops may shoot and kill twice as many white people as black, but there about six times as many white people as black people in the United States. Proportionally, black people are much more likely to be shot and killed by cops.
It's almost like there's way more white people than black people in the United States. Do you not understand ratios or are you simply a big fan of disingenuous arguments?Quote:

Statistics also show that there A LOT more White people then Black people in America. Do you like you are more likely to get shot by police officer if you are white or if you are black? Do you think it is close?Quote:

24% of the people killed by the police are black. Yet only make up 13% of the population.
For perspective.

Once again: do you understand how ratios work or are you just a fan of majorly disingenuous arguments?Quote:
