Why do people who proclaim the love science and data
The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015. The Post defines “unarmed” broadly to include such cases as a suspect in Newark, N.J., who had a loaded handgun in his car during a police chase. In 2018 there were 7,407 black homicide victims. Assuming a comparable number of victims last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African-Americans killed in 2019. By contrast, a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

Ship has sailed. We are in a post fact, post truth world. You can't even have this conversation with people who are constantly telling us that we need to have a national conversation about race.MikeDamone said:Ignore science and data that doesn't fit their agenda?

Since we'll never have zero black people killed by police unless we just stop all policing, this isn't a situation that will ever change and no amount of citation to facts and data are going to change that. -
We need to get to ZERO cases of the VID with everyone in the world tested to even think about reopening because there could be a second wave
And now get to ZERO police killings of Blacks. Maybe whites too. Depends on the experts
Its science -
Police unjustifiably kill Americans far too often, and without meaningful consequences. Your quibble is over how much race has to do with it.

Your anarcho-capitalist philosophy of "no coercion" isn't as impressive intelectually as you think it is. We do need law abiding police.MikeDamone said:

Fine that's a point that you and I could both agree on. But the numbers don't show that there is any "open season" on blacks in this country by the police. Why does your party and you lie to your most loyal voting block?HHusky said:Police unjustifiably kill Americans far too often, and without meaningful consequences.

Do we even know if race had anything to do with this latest George Floyd story Dazzler? -
I must have missed the looting of cities after Tony Timpa was kneeled on and killed by the police when Obama was president.SFGbob said:

Dallas police body cam footage reveals the final minutes of Tony Timpa's life
Timpa wailed and pleaded for help more than 30 times as officers pinned his shoulders, knees and neck to the ground in 2016. -
If we start demanding an end to unjustifiable killings by police, it won't much matter what motivated them till now.SFGbob said:
