A police officer in America is 18.5 times more likely to be shot by a black man than a black man is likely to be shot by a policeman.

    First, boobs wanted a link, now, he's frightened by the data.

    That data was standard:

    More whites get shot because there are more whites.

    More blacks get shot on a proportional basis because a higher percentage of them are criminals.

    I found this part interesting:

    " Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. The majority of these victims had a gun or "were armed or otherwise threatening the officer with potentially lethal force," according to MacDonald in a speech at Hillsdale College."

    It only takes 51% to be a majority. Which means potentially up to 49% of the victims of police murders, weren't threatening the officers with potentially lethal force. That is what people are pissed about. And maybe the black lives matter folks just happen to be better organized in their anger.

    I think it is stupid to make this a white or black thing. What I find interesting, is why are police so poorly trained in this nation -- that they kill people that aren't armed and aren't threatening them? I think one of the reasons, is that getting as job as a cop today, doesn't take much. A lot of dumbshits become cops.

    Cops are not poorly trained. They hit most of the people they shoot.

    Is that why you never provide facts or intelligence?
