Inner cities are an absolute mess with violence right now.... I do think there are issues with some laws and training that police but you are trying to take the human side out of it...... if police are having constant issues with people that look similar than they are going to be more defensive when they get in those situations..... It kind of reminds me of airports..... we know that the overwhelming majority of terrorists on planes are middle eastern but they will search the 70 yr old granny so they don’t appear to be profiling....I guess the point you would like to make is that there is no systemic police racism by pointing out blacks commit more violent crimes than whites proportionately and that when police encounter black people they should rely on that information to gauge how much force to use. SMDH. You're making my point for me.

As for these recent cases..... they need judged on the evidence and if it falls into the cops protocol..... I have a feeling the George Floyd, Blake, and Taylor cases that the officers are going to be found innocent and all h&ll is going to break loose.
Facts Don't Matter.Wtf are you talking about? Do I really have to hold your hand through the entire argument?
1. Violent criminals are more likely to have violent police interactions.
2. On a per capita basis, there are more violent black criminals than white violent criminals.
3. This accounts for the disparity that black people are shot by the police vs white people.
In other words, non-violent white citizens are no less likely to be shot than non-violent black citizens.
It could not be more simple.
An Empirical Analysis of Racial Differences in Police Use of Force
That's why we have people like you trying to say because blacks disproportionately commit more violent crimes than whites, the police should expect a violent interaction with black people. I don't know what you call it but that's racial profiling. Same goes for the fact that blacks have disproportionately more interactions with police.
You mean like black people do?
Be in the "wrong" area fear for your life, police get behind you while driving or slow down while you are walking down the street, fear for your life.
Glad to see you care about feeling threatened. So you support BLM? Its all about back people being in fear of the police. And actual murders and assaults have happened. Not just hearing a bunch of people yelling while you have an armed guard with you.
I'd borrow a few German Shepherds and let them have run of the place for a couple of days.
Problem is that 99% of those shootings were legal and justified so the real question to ask is why African Americans commit violent crimes at a higher rate per capita, especially when confronting policeThat graph you used: It's true more white people are killed by cops than African Americans but that's not the argument or issue. The issue is African Americans are disproportionately killed by cops. You do know what disproportionately means right? It means since 73% of the population is white then 73% of the police killings should be white and only 13% should be African Americans. That's not the case as your graph shows.
Against assault, resisting arrest etc are not nonviolent crimesThat is the more relevant measure of proportion than trying to say since blacks have more interactions with police and since they commit disproportionately more violent crimes. that it's justified to disproportionately kill more blacks for non violent crimes. If you want to go back and politely tell the others their analysis is wrong, that would be great.
