DNC thinks that people who don't even know the correct percentage of black people living in the US know that more white people are killed by cops.
Perhaps because lower-income and nonwhite Americans are more likely to come into contact with blacks and Hispanics, these subgroups are most likely to overestimate the U.S. black and Hispanic populations. The average nonwhite estimates that 40% of the U.S. population is black and 35% of the population is Hispanic.
I don't think blacks and hispanics are on this bored.
Your comment wasn't limited to people here on the board but your backpedal is spectacular.
I said you act like people don't know them despite the fact you post them all the time. Of course I'm talking about people on this bored.
The general public is dumb as fuck. Black and white. I don't expect them to know anything.
No backpedal here.
Plenty of stupid people here too. And I wasn't limiting my comment to people here on this board. It's why I said: Please, I'll guarantee you that most of the people on the left who are currently rioting aren't aware of these numbers.
But if you want to go with the CYA that you were just talking about people here on the board I'll give that bullshit fig leaf.
Let's say zero black men died at the hands of the cops every year. Currently the number is ~300/year. (Vs about 600 for whites). And of the 300 there a substantial number are justified. Probably more that 81%. Can someone explain how taking that number to zero will make everything better? I think police brutality is an issue. (You all know my stance on cops). But I'm trying to get my head around how the very small number of people dying as a result of police brutality fixes anything for the average normal citizen. It needs to be dealt with, but the narrative that it's "open season" on black men and they all need to run serpentine to the mailbox isn't helping anyone.
I run serpentine to and from the mailbox just because it looks cool. Keeps the neighbors from feeling too comfortable, too. Win-win.
When one race makes up 13% of the population and commits around 53% of the violent crime they tend to have more contact. They will tend to be viewed as more dangerous. It's like comparing a Pit Bull to Pekenigese.

That stat needs some context. Blacks tend to be charged with more serious crimes than whites for the same behavior
Same crime? How about same crime with a bunch of priors? In 2020, I can't see upcharging blacks in major urban cities who are run by dems. I've heard that cocaine is an upcharged drug but that's on the drug classifications versus black. Crack cocaine > powdered coke, but again that's based on the perceived basis that crack is more harmful and addictive.

The numbers are actually worse when you break them down further. Half that 13% are women and they don't make up a significant number of violent criminals. So then you're left with only 6% committing over half the violent crime. Then you have to factor in that the overwhelming majority of all violent crime is committed by males age 17 - 40. You're really only looking at 2 to 3% of all blacks committing over half of all violent crimes.

I always treated everyone well unless of course they fit all the particulars of a crime broadcast for say armed robbery or maybe one of the guys on your surveillance team just saw them do a walk up gang shooting a block or two away. Things are differently depending on the circumstances as compared to a routine traffic stop. Circumstances matter.
The race card helps bring attention to the serious issue of police brutality. Black people don't take too kindly to cops killing one of their own.
When cops kill a white person, the rest of us whites are too busy uploading pictures to our dog's Instagram account to complain on Twitter, too busy watching NASCAR to organize a protest, and too busy passing the ball to a black guy on our basketball teams to write a letter to our congressman. We've got to step up our game and start taking action, too.
Do you know how shitty of a white person you have to be to get cops to kill you?
It's a different bar.
I agree. There's a reason why things are the way they are. I guess it's not really playing the race card when there are legitimate racial concerns, so I probably shouldn't have used that term.
Ultimately I just want everyone to realize that this is a fight we should all be part of, and that it makes no sense to be divided over what is an obvious issue because one race gets more attention than another or any of that stuff.
Not sure if I'm communicating my thoughts very well right now. I've been awake for the past 35 hours. But to sum it up, just know that we probably agree on almost everything on this issue.

You need to be poor for one thing
Rich or middle class Blacks are treated like street thugs at times
The Throbber would not argue that.
Emphasis on 'at times' though - not always and every time which is how the media portrays it and the left fans it.
Targets on their back constantly. Victims who can never get ahead.

Every bit as bad as Minneapolis. Can't watch again.
Keep your hands up or you will be shot! Cross your legs! Now crawl to me but apparently without using your hands to crawl! You just put your hands on the ground BLAM BLAM BLAM!
Jury somehow acquitted the cop who shot him, FYI. That was the night Phoenix burned to the ground. It was on all The News.
I’m guessing @dnc didn’t even know this happened in March of 2016.

That may be true. But look at murders. Hard to give the white murderer a pass and stick it to the black murderer. That doesn’t happen. Blacks commit about 50% of the homicides. That is a shocking statistic. Maybe even a grim one

White people have to be unbelievably shitty to get shot by the cops.
