Cops Shoot and Kill UNARMED White Male… Where’s the Outrage?

#31

Quote: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.


While I agree that police brutality is more a class issue than a racial issue, I'm not sure what statistical study you are referring to that backs up your claim.


No Google necessary, but just further clarification would be helpful for me to understand the argument you're making that proves the 2.5 times likelihood of a black person getting shot is not correct.
