Maybe do some research.

The FBI is a good source of information.

Yes, more white people, in numbers, are killed by police, simply because there are more white people living in the USA.

Proportional, percentages I don't know.

I thought the police officers that used excessive force restraining a suspected criminal resisting arrest are in jail charged with murder.

I believe those police officers had previous complaints about excessive force. I’m curious if previous complaints of excessive force were from white criminals resisting arrest or black criminals resisting arrest. 

 

Where is the injustice? A police officer (race irrelevant) used excessive force resulting in death and he’s on trial for murder.

Is rioting and looting electrónico stores a good way to promote your cause. 

For over 40 years there have been programs to help blacks to get out of poverty and get into university and be promoted in jobs. But now I believe the talk is just about reparations instead of encouraging education and gaining job skills.

 

But it is obvious that the police need to be retrained to say please and thank you when arresting people who are resisting arrest. They should tell them “please put your hands behind your back” as many times as necessary until they comply. If they resist or run, then do not use any kind of force to restrain them. Yell our politely, please stop, please stop. 

No. Police just need to do the job as per their training. They are not trained to kneel on the neck for 8 or so minutes.

If you can't see what the WSJ article is saying here it is:

 

In 2019 police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. African-Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops last year (235), a ratio that has remained stable since 2015. That share of black victims is less than what the black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects. In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.

 

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.

I have absolutely no problem in looking at the fatal police shootings by reference to race as percentage of population.

 

I have already posted above the graph from the BBC which shows that blacks are shot in numbers representing twice their percentage of population.

 

However, since fatal police shootings are "a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects" given that blacks account for 53% of homicide and close to 60% of robbery arrests one would in fact expect a FOUR times higher representation in the fatal shootings category, not a TWO times higher representation for blacks.

 

So the oft-touted "Blacks are shot" in numbers representing twice their percentage of population, well yes. But they also committ FOUR times the number of homicides and robberies, so the likelihood of a police encounter with an armed and dangerous black suspect is FOUR times higher.

 

So actually police officers show remarkable restraint. Especially white police officers, btw, numbers show hispanics and blacks shoot black suspects in greater numbers.

note the subtle distortions and selectiveness.....

 

"60% of robberies" selected in that piece. 33.5% of aggravated assaults, 29.8% of burglaries and 29.1% of larceny-theft. Let's just select the one with the highest number.

 

"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." A fairer comparison would be all black males killed by police (armed or not) aqainst all police killed by black males (armed or not), or better still unarmed black males killed by police against police killed by unarmed black males.

Nonsense, assuming you're refering to the George Floyd case. No action was taken against the officers involved in the days following the murder, despite video evidence being widely shared. It was only after mass protsets started that any of the officers involved were charged. Waiting for protests and hoping for the fuss to die down does not support the argument for police taking the proper action.

 

So - certainly special treatment for the police, anyone else would have been arrested and charged without delay. Nobody else would have had a mass show of support from hundreds of police officers.

 

It remains to be seen whether or not there will actualy be any convictions, what the sentences might be or whether Trump might set them free if found guilty in a court of law.

The best thing is to ask the black mayor's, and black police chiefs why so many black people are being killed on their shift....can't blame ole whitey all the time.

And more black people fought in the Vietnam War in proportion to the white population. This is a never ending discussion/argument about whites and blacks and crime and police violence. Good luck on that one.

No, the comparison "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." is perfectly fair since in normal circumstances a police offer can possibly encounter a black male that is armed, but in the normal course of daily life a black male is unarmed. There is nothing unfair or "distorted" about this comparison.

 

Obviously there is something majorly distorted about restricting police deaths to only "police killed by unarmed black males", since killing someone with arms is much more difficult and unlikely.

If you want to get into a university, get funding to do so, get hired, get promoted, or get a small business loan "white" is legally discriminated against.  That's called 'systemic-racism', but it's not used against the people claiming they face discrimination.

Then, we get into crime facts, which are staggeringly disproportionate - including "apples for apples" comparisons where income is factored in. 

 

There was a study done because some were claiming "driving while black" got you pulled over more often on a highway.  They set up cameras with radar on the offending-highway, and found the ratios of speeding per demographic-group represented the tickets that had been issued in that area.  

 

Then, there were the crazy accusastions against the police, to be solved with body-cameras.  The body-camera footage hasn't worked out so well for those making the crazy claims.

Yes, I remember reading the same article. I also remember reading a more in depth look in reference to what was defined as unarmed. I believe 6 or 7 were classified as unarmed but. They were either trying to run over the LEO with a car or trying to take his service revolver which lead to the violent suspect being shot.

 

As for the protest, they have nothing to do with helping black people. Its now a nationalist Marxist/communist violent movement. Made up of mostly young white people that’s been indoctrinated to hate capitalism. BLM is a Marxist / communist movement, by their own leader’s words.

So since police killed African-Americans in 0.1% of all cases of black homicide victims, nine fatal police shootings in 2019, and of the total 7407 black homicide victims the vast majority were killed by blacks I put it to you that Black Lives Matter focusing on police shootings is a fraud, a deceit and a pointless distortion of reality.

 

If BLM were really concerned about black lives they would focus on the over 7300 victims of homicide who are black who were, in the majority of cases killed by blacks.

 

Why on earth focus on 0.1% of odd cases where police shoot an unarmed black? What about the other 7300 black homicide victims, most of whom were killed by blacks?

You are correct in reference to how LEOs treat different subject. Most Police I know go out of their way of watching exactly what they say and do when dealing with a minority. Knowing it can turn into a racial complain for nothing. Then it’s their responsibility to prove it was not.

 

If a black person gets shot by the Police everyone looks at it to see if there is a racial overtone. If a white guy gets shot by the Police. We look at it and say, well he was a stupid ass, bet he don’t do that again and everyone moves on.

Except the protests are not about blacks killing blacks or whites killing blacks.

Maybe they should address the much larger problem of black on black violence. When you have consistently the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country, with the highest murder rates, one must wonder why the cops that patrol those areas become barbaric.

They are simply fighting fire with fire. 

 

Same as soldiers that go into a war zone. 

 

If the black community fails to get their house in order they will be blaming the white man for their problems another hundred years. Stop shooting yourself in record numbers and then we can discuss the rest. At some point the black community has to own up to what is going on in it's own communities. 

 

If black lives matter you need to go confront the gang members on every corner of the hood. There is a reason other people don't want to live in those neighborhoods and why businesses do not want to set up shop there. 

 

So maybe next time you want to have a rally/protest/riot against the police go and do it against the gangs that infest your communities. That would require much more courage because the gangs are not as apologetic about shooting black people as the cops are. 

 

It's time for black people to be honest with themselves and own what is happening in their neighborhoods.
