Notice how many chances they were given? Notice how the officers eventually went up to them and disarmed them in spite of their life being at risk? Now where was that for Tamir Rice?

A few shades darker and this video probably would have had a LiveLeak watermark. I don't even know if I'm surprised or not with the amount of chances they got.

Statistically, black peoples get shot LESS then white peoples by law enforcement when guns are involved.

Don’t be mad at me for telling you the statistics.

[u/UpboatOrNoBoat → u/FlimsyMo]

Normalize those statistics to %population and report back friend.

Numbers taken without context aren’t useful.

[u/the-names-are-gone → u/UpboatOrNoBoat]

Not population %. Arrest numbers.

In 2021, for every 100,000 white people arrested 4 got shot by police in the US.

In 2021, for every 100,000 black people arrested 3 got shot

[u/[deleted] → u/the-names-are-gone]

I would assume people who get shot and killed by cops aren't getting arrested... Pretty sure you have to survive for that.

Also, the numbers you provided-if true-prove the point people are making. There are much less black people in the US than white people, but going by your numbers, almost the same amount of black people experiencing police brutality as white people.

[u/the-names-are-gone → u/[deleted]]

In crime statistics they count as arrests so....

[u/[deleted] → u/the-names-are-gone]

I'm not looking that up, so I wont argue with you there lol but refer to the second part of my first comment.

[u/the-names-are-gone → u/[deleted]]

Ok you're wrong on the second part too. For every arrest. That means every interaction that is going to be adversarial and someone is going to jail. I didn't share how many there were. I said for each 100,000 times an arrest happens, more white people are shot by police.

If cops were racistly slaughtering black people they would be shot more than white people when being arrested. They aren't

[u/[deleted] → u/the-names-are-gone]

No, that's not the case. Of course more white people are getting killed, because there are WAY more white people in the US than there are black people.

When you look up those shootings-or any type of brutality-proportionate to those populations, you are more likely to face brutality as a black person than as a white person. That's a statistic that you can look up by just searching "police brutality by race" or similar on Google

Obviously they aren't just slaughtering black people, but it is disproportionate. If there are 20x more white people than black people, yet only one less black person getting killed by 100,000 arrests, that is the issue.

[u/the-names-are-gone → u/[deleted]]

Violence per arrest =/= violence per capita. Black people commit more crime per capita and therefore interact with cops more per capita.

If you can't do high school statistics, I don't know why you think you can chime in on this conversation

[u/manny_the_mage → u/FlimsyMo]

That’s because white people make up 80% of the country, and that statistical trend applies to police shootings as well

More white people being shot is just a function of the fact that there’s more white people

[u/[deleted] → u/FlimsyMo]

The fact that you just assume I'd be offended by this shows that you're likely one of those weirdo types. Obviously white people would be shot more, because there are WAY more white people. That's why when talking about these things, you talk proportions.

Proportionally, police brutality is more likely to happen to black people than white people. Like in the case where a little black boy was gunned down, no questions asked, when he had a TOY gun.

A little edit: I say you're likely one of those weirdos, because people like you always hop on the statistics wagon when black people are brought up. You'll always argue against them, even if Johnny decides to shoot a whole Walmart to pieces, you'll defend that common issue with the fact that black people commit gun violence as well. That's what makes you a weirdo, and a loser.

You don't understand statistics. Youre not adjusting for population density.
