    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.
    Exactly right except for not correct at all.

    I like how you guys post these stats every other week and act like people arena aware of them.

    I stand by my statement. You have to be an incredibly shitty white person to get killed by the cops.



    You do realize your own pic shows that the percentage of white people who die at the hands of the police is a lot lower than the percentage of black people right?
    Now do the percentage of black people that engage in violent crime compared to the percentage of white people who engage in violent crime. There might be some sort of correlation, just a guess.

    Please, I'll guarantee you that most of the people on the left who are currently rioting aren't aware of these numbers.

    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.

    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 dunno, If You take a drive on a dark rainy night to Woodburn, Hillsboro and Salem, you could see why maybe they make their over estimations.

    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.
