    I predict another liberal free thread. The gist of the study found:

    "It turns out that white officers are no more likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot black civilians. It is a racial group’s rate of violent crime that determines police shootings, not the race of the officer. The more frequently officers encounter violent suspects from any given racial group, the greater the chance that members of that racial group will be shot by a police officer. In fact, if there is a bias in police shootings after crime rates are taken into account, it is against white civilians, the study found."

    Not that this will deter those fostering these protests and mayhem for political reasons. Thoughts?

    Truth and facts are irrelevant.

    As long as you can whip up hysteria and get the public to believe your B.S., you can pass your radical legislation.

    "The Guardian’s statistics include deaths after the police use of a Taser, deaths caused by police vehicles and deaths following altercations in police custody, as well as those killed when officers open fire. They reveal that 29% of those killed by police, or 135 people, were black. Sixty-seven, or 14%, were Hispanic/Latino, and 234, or 50%, were white. In total, 102 people who died during encounters with law enforcement in 2015 were unarmed."

    Wow..those are really low numbers.....only 102? Geez...I thought this was some sort of widespread pandemic....

    Factually wrong. The Guardian is a garbage media outlet like CNN. 29% of unarmed (includes attacks on cops with other than guns) were black, yet they commit half our murders. That's low.

    THAT is factually wrong. The Guardian has been fact-checked and found to be one of the most reliable media sources. Try again.

    The National Review is a very different story and proven to be right wing extreme garbage.

    Well good thing they searched newspapers to come up with a number, I'm certain they got them all but anyone that's innocent and obeying police orders and get shot is horrible and I don't care what race they are. Now I guess my biggest thing is they are pointing this out because 136 were killed and were unarmed, so a little more detail would be nice. That being said, what I can't understand why we never ever ever ever discuss the real tragedy of black on black murders. In 2016 the fbi had it at 2,570 black Americans were killed by black Americans. That's more than any cop killing and it's not even close but we're rioting and looting all the big liberal cities. Brilliant.

    Another stat, cops are 18 times more likely to be killed by blacks than the other way around.

    Meanwhile the LW has no problem with thousands of black babies being executed by abortion every day. Jesse Jackson used to call it black genocide before he sold out.

    Really? What year are you talking about? Cause 2019, unarmed blacks killed by cops was 9. Unarmed whites killed by cops was 19. Common core math seems to have failed you if you think 9 is "more than TWICE AS MANY" than 19.

    paul7 Maybe if there wasn't so much poverty in the black community they would be more inclined to want children???

    Please show proof that black women were forced to have abortions.

    Explain why you don't think black women should have the same right to abortion as white women.

    The RW seems to have a problem with women doing as they please.

    There's only one thing the left hates more than the notion that there's an epidemic of racist police shootings, and that's the reality that there is no epidemic of racist police shootings. That's a piece of good news that infuriates the racial arsonists and poverty pimps, and they just don't want to hear it.

    Reality is the ultimate racist, and it must be ignored at all costs.

    Now do per capita, 12.1% of the population is black. 60.4% are white.
    Whites are 5 times the size of the population of blacks...

    I will agree we don’t need to focus on only one race though, the police need to be demilitarized and held to account across the board.

    Last year 9 unarmed blacks were killed by police and 19 unarmed whites met the same fate. Things have changed since 2015. Sometimes old news is fake news.

    So go to school, graduate, get a job and move up the ladder. I recall a video of blacks kids beating up another black kid because he made the dean's list. It would seem that getting an education and being smart is frowned upon in some communities, these being the same communities that will get you shot if you diss someone.

    The national review did not conduct the study. Stop acting like AJ and pretending that the website is the source of the info.

    The fact is, the narrative of the left is blatantly false. The implication that this is something that occurs left and right daily couldn't be further from the truth.

    The left overwhelmingly lies their ass off when it comes to this topic.

    But, as always, you've got an election to win in november and that takes precedence over truth and reality.....keep up the good work.

    Who cares what percent of the total population each race is. That's including all the people who aren't committing crimes (why include them when you're not talking about them at all...oh right, to try to make a point). What matters is how many interactions the police has with each race and who's more likely to resist arrest. Given the rate of violent crime committed by each race and the who's more likely to resist arrest you can see that the police aren't targeting blacks.

    But, I'm well aware you're not going to let logic and rational thought get in the way of your focus on taking trump down in november so by all means, dismiss everything I just said.

    I don't believe those numbers. Every other source has shown whites are killed at around twice the rate. 28 unarmed blacks and 51 unarmed whites who died at the hands of police in 2019.
    259 blacks killed by any means/reason vs 406 whites. Play with the numbers yourself.

    You do realize this isn’t even remotely the issue they are up in arms about right? It’s just the breaking point

    Probably the people that are higher at risk from incidents like this. By who cares, you mean you don’t care. Which I am sure surprises zero people

    So you are arguing that cops are not targeting blacks but also that police have more interactions with blacks... That makes sense...

    What? WTF does this have to do with 45*? Where did I even mention him?
    Stay on topic

    Resisting arrest tends to end badly for people especially when they attempt to take an officers weapon.

    The problem stems from attempting to solve generational poverty, going all the way back to the end of slavery, by providing a welfare state. In essence, the 'do-good' ideology has resulted in the American ghetto. Trump's plans include lifting people out of poverty at the same time as reforming the justice system. The way he is painted as a racist is a prime example of #fakenews. Opportunity zones, permanent funding of HBCUs, the First Step Act, to name a few things Trump has done to help change things.
