    Does that mean more whites are killing blacks?

    "Killings of Black Men by Whites are Far More Likely to be Ruled 'Justifiable'

    "When a white person kills a black man in America, the killer often faces no legal consequences..... killings of black males by white people are labeled justifiable more than eight times as often as others. This racial disparity has persisted for decades and is hard to explain based solely on the circumstances reported by the police data."

    I feel justified killing anyone that attacks me first. Believe me race doesn't matter a bit when innocent life is in jeopardy.

    Progress at last.
    And in a city ruled by progressives. It took them long enough, but good for them.

    Straw man alert? Did you have any actual commentary here, or were just trying to insert another sacred cow?

    Interesting, when you think about it, why do democrats want citizens to not be able to defend themselves from the crime they insist on pushing into our nation? Good for the folks in Philly though. When cops or government don't support the people, the people need to support themselves.

    Recently, a Philly man was beaten and robbed by four juveniles while walking near his home.


    He is severely injured and it will take months to recover. Incidents like that are scary, but are guns really the solution? How easy would it be to defend yourself with a gun while being knocked to the ground by four attackers? What if one of the attackers was able to disarm you and use your own gun against you?

    Well, I know you might view this as "racist", but maybe they are more justifiable. When you consider that, statistically, killings in one direction are far more numerous than in the other direction, it does become plausible that perhaps a much larger percentage of killings in one direction are justifiable ones.

    You seem to be presuming that a disparity in outcomes must be due to unfair racism, rather than law enforcement being entirely correct in their treatment of individual situations.

    ~ It's quite easy to explain actually. The reason is obvious ...
