    All the damn studies that I've posted here that you refuse to read because you're a dope. Are you black? You're constantly telling me you're black which means you know everything about black people. Did you forget?

    I know more about black people than you when you start on black history

    Does that mean i know more about institutional racism
    No. But these numbers don't back up any claim of institutional racism in law enforcement

    Oh please. I post articles and facts, you just talk out of your ass.

    Here's another one that you won't read because you were at a barbershop one time and RayRay told you he never saw a cop shoot anybody.



    THE RESEARCH IS CLEAR: WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT MORE LIKELY THAN BLACK PEOPLE TO BE KILLED BY POLICE.

    The study found that the racial disparity was even more pronounced in those cases in which the victims were unarmed and offered minimal to no threat to police.

    “In those instances in which the victim appeared to pose a minimal-or-less threat to police, based on the data we had, Black people were three times as likely to be killed,” Miller says. “That doesn’t mean the police didn’t feel threatened. But based on the reports that we were able to to look at, a very low level of threat was directed at the police. And in those specific cases, the numbers rose for Black people: They made up 36 percent of the deaths.”

    Police shootings are very in general. Secondly this study does not disprove what basso posted which is directly from fbi statistics so im not talking out of my ass. Lastly i would like to see the overall numbers from this study.

    Edit: police shootings are rare

    Police should not kill people.
    white people, by any measure, are more likely to be killed by police than black people.
    too many black people are being killed, by police, and other black people, and by white people.

    all of these can be true at the same time.

    That is the point. It's also how many times force was used in arresting African Americans white Americans.

    You do realize whites are 70% of the population, blacks are 12.5%? The fact that it is that close is the problem.
