Bit of a false equivalency to say that (quote) "The rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity" after already explaining that in the overall figures they only made up around 9-10% of either years toll. Basic math rules the day here. Yet these very same figures only serve to highlight, that black people aren't the majority to face (quote) "police Brutality" (despite their constant bleating to the contrary) so you felt the need to shoehorn in a story about a 14 year old girl....to beef up such a false equivalency (nice try)
And because 10% of anything isn't the 'whole' that the BLM would like you to think it is, you then further attempt to twist the figures by using percentages, adding (quote) "38 fatal shootings per million of the population"
Which only goes to prove (unequivocally) that the minority in question, commits the most crime (or are you just saying the police pulled weapons on people eating ice-cream in the park?)
Which brings me to the other factor....Why the police used lethal force in the first place?
Oddly enough, I couldfn't find any 'statistics' on your link, which cited figures of how many of these 'victims' were resisting arrest, fighting, endangering or were weaponised themselves (against the police) These (and other, convenient) omissions, only highlight what an disingenuous, agenda driven 'hit-piece' your link actually is.

It's not a false equivalency at all. The proportion of black people that are killed by police per population (ie. the rate) is higher than the proportion of white people that are killed by police. In other words it is out of proportion to. This is a well know statistic and doesn't need explaining any further.
That said police killing black people isn't the problem. That's where you're getting lost. Police kill more white people. Police kill people of all races, thus police are the problem, not the victims.

Nice deflection (but you're not fooling anyone here...including yourself)
I've already pointed out that you conveniently revert to percentages to bump up the actual numbers (to maintain the constant victimhood amongst the black community) However, when those very same percentages only serve to highlight the fact that black people (despite their actual minority) commit more crime than the actual white majority.....you'll either claim it as racism (or cite biased police) Thus proving you only like percentages when it suits your 'per capita' victimhood agenda.
A cursory glance at your post history indicates that you keep chanting the same 'fuck the police' schtick' wherever you go (and get your ass handed to you each and every time) When asked to give alternatives to a police force, that you'd like rid of (like most tooth-sucking malcontents) your silence is deafening. What's the matter, did those nasty police confiscate your weed?....or give you a parking ticket?....did it hurt your feelings?
I'm white and (by your own admission) at a much higher risk from being shot....yet i *still* have no problem with the police using deadly force (when necessary) primarily because I obey the law and comply with police (which in all likelihood, those aforementioned 'victims' didn't) But as previously stated, your link didn't want (nor care) to give proportionality to the percentages that were fighting/shooting back (odd that you've never addressed the issue, either?)
However your link *did* give links/subsections to articles about 'Police Brutality' (which goes against the grain of genuine impartial analytical statistic studies) but half-facts and distorted percentages seem to be your forte' (It would seem?) so I can see why you choose to cite this particular 'link'
Until you have anything of substance to add to your 'Police=Bad' bleating, kindly shut the fuck up. Looking at your posts and the replies from others, that would *statistically* be the general consensus around here (and we all know how much you like statistics and percentages, don't we?)

Not deflecting anything.
You can point out false statements all you want, they won't change the facts. Again my OP was not about the black community. You're really fixated on that and that's where your racism comes out. You're missing track of the ball. AGAIN the Black community may be disproportionately negatively affected by the police but they ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES who are negatively affected. Again the police are a problem for everyone and the sooner you realize that the closer you'll come to becoming free.
"I'm white and (by your own admission) at a much higher risk from being shot"
I didn't "admit" this. This was my point. How long will that take to get through your thick skull? *rolls eyes*
" i *still* have no problem with the police using deadly force (when necessary) primarily because"
Why do you have no problem with this? Do you believe in fascism, military dictatorship where people are killed for their beliefs? Do you fantasize our return to a time like in 1930s Germany? The police are average citizens just like every average citizen and any government that affords themselves rights they don't afford their citizens is tyranny. Police have no more right to use deadly force than anyone else. There is nothing in our constitution that even guarantees them the right to even use force PERIOD and every American has the right to defend themselves from police and even make citizens arrests and report the police, even though disproportionately the big government sides with the police. I've experienced it myself when fighting traffic tickets when the city was clearly in the wrong for doing things like blocking signs with other signs. Police routinely break the traffic laws in their work cars. They aren't allowed to do that without the lights signalling they are on the way to something important, yet they do it. They are a menace to our society.
Sorry too long didn't read. No one has time for BS. And seriously, you need to STFU and since you believe in force. deserve a good swift smack on the back of the head. But it is unlikely to do anything to improve the clarity of your thinking.
