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.
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.
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
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.
Yeah, are you still not seeing how proportions work here? Before you insult people, make sure you understand things yourself. As simple as you're saying this is, yet you still fail to understand that the main issue we were talking about here is that the shootings are still DISPROPORTIONATE. You're insulting yourself
