> Tawana Vicenia Brawley That casea didn't even pass the grand jury. Compared to Ronnie Long who got 44 Years when the races were reversed. > 2. Tony Timpa "Random events" is a funny way to say a consistent pattern of Whites police killing mostly nonwhites and White murderers and lynch mobs getting away with no consequences. Vincent Chin's death was racially motivated and the all white jury punish to convict his murderers. That is a race problem. > Black women and men and American Indian and Alaska Native women and men are significantly more likely than white women and men to be killed by police. Latino men are also more likely to be killed by police than are white men. [0] [0] https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793 [1] https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/28/us/ronnie-long-nc-wrongful-co... |

These are also sourced from WaPo - as left leaning as they come. WaPo has logged all fatal police shootings since 2015 in this database:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/police...
Despite their headline, the data tells you a different story. In 2019 there were a total of 999 killings. 858 shootings in which the race was noted. 405 killed were white, 249 were black. Blacks were significantly more likely to have a deadly weapon than a white suspect. Yet more white suspects were killed. There were ONLY 12 cases where the blacks were unarmed - 11 men and 1 women. 7 of these cases - the suspect attacked the cop with eyewitness or camera footage corroboration confirming it. Out of the rest - 1 was an apparent accident. 2 cases - the cop was charged. The others were ongoing investigation when I researched this last year. So simply saying "X race are more likely to be killed by police" doesn't mean anything when vast majority of them were armed or attacked the cop visible on camera and witnesses. These are hard facts which media, especially CNN, won't tell you.
Here's more.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/polic...
For 2019:
12 unarmed blacks were shot and killed.
26 unarmed whites were shot and killed.
11 unarmed hispanics were shot and killed.
For 2020:
18 unarmed blacks were shot and killed.
26 unarmed whites were shot and killed.
10 unarmed hispanics were shot and killed.
For 2021:
4 unarmed blacks were shot and killed.
6 unarmed whites were shot and killed.
2 unarmed hispanics were shot and killed.
These numbers don't align with the narrative of "innocent blacks are significantly more likely to be killed than white".
https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-...
So despite being 13% population, in 2016 blacks committed 53% of murders, 54% robberies, 43% weapons offences, 38% of all violent crimes. Should the demographic committing 53% of murders not get expected to get shot? Should cops simply not shoot and get shot instead when the other person is armed or attacks them? Should Jacob Blake or Ricardo Munoz have not been shot when both were about to attack the cops with a knife?
This isn't even about racism/bias in the data as shown here that whites are arrested 71.0% for "Drug abuse violations" vs 26.7% for blacks, whites commit more rapes at 67.6% vs 29.1% for blacks:
https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-...
If this was about numbers lying because of some bias, why won't they also lie about whites commiting significantly more rapes and drugs? Obviously murder is a much worse crime than rape or drug and therefore more shootings for that demographic.
Also if we look at a diverse city like Philadelphia - residents are 44.1 percent black, 35.8 percent white, 13.6 percent Latino and 7.2 percent Asian.
Hispanics and then black officers are more likely to shoot an unarmed black suspect as compared to a white officer.
Stats for unarmed blacks shot by cops:
https://www.phillypolice.com/assets/directives/cops-w0753-pu...
Page 32
Definition of OIS (Officer involved shooting) is on page 17
Definition of TPFs (threat perception failures) is on page 30
TPF of white officer against black suspect is 6.8
TPF of black officer against black suspect is 11.4
TPF of hispanic officer against black suspect is 16.7
Aka Hispanics and then black officers are more likely to shoot an unarmed black suspect. The claim that white officers are more likely to kill black suspects because of racism is complete nonsense. White cops are the least likely to kill unarmed blacks. (Stats for asian cops isn't available as it's negligible.)
As I have stated before, this is not about race - I am simply stating them because that's usually what talking points care about. We can complain about police brutality all we want but until we fix the root cause of the problem, nothing will change.
Blacks realize this and that's why eighty-one percent (81%) of black Americans and eight-three percent (83%) of Hispanic Americans want either the police presence to remain the same (a majority) or to be increased (opposite of what their often white "liberal saviors" want):

One more thing - to get rid of bad cops - we should be doing exact opposite of what current policies encourage. Aka we should maybe look at removing police unions which are the reason bad cops stay protected. Same with teachers unions which let bad teachers stay around.
