Quote:I think it's because white people don't have a grievance. White people aren't worried about it. So it's not an issue. Black people, on the other hand, feel like they have a grievance. So the media wants to examine this grievance. It's really that simple. Nothing wrong with that, in my opinion.


On a per-person basis, black people are killed by the police at a rate that is 2.5 times the rate for white people.


I'm really not in either camp. It's a very complicated issue.

There are stats out there that I don't want to google right now, that show that white people are more likely statistically to be shot during a police encounter than black people. The per person 2.5x thing isnt relevant. Blacks statistically commit more violent crimes and are encountered at a higher rate than whites.


I think the racial narrative is bogus. There is no epidemic of racially motivated attacks by police on black men. Its barely a blip on the screen. If a group wants to have a discussion about police use of force, then I am all ears for ideas on better ways of policing.
