Sadly people are going to be shot. Notice, nothing is happening. looters are tearing up midtown Manhattan Madison freaking avenue, and no one is arresting them. This is being allowed because the mayor is afraid of confrontation because he knows somewhere someon is gonna die. So sad. Meanwhile Cuomo just said we don't need military this is peaceful , they are exercising their rights ... ?????? Hope Trumps landing gear drops and deploys the military .
Democrats need to keep the black vote this year so they can get Biden elected. That's why they are not gonna take action against looters or rioters that are black. So what if the stores get broken into, these are all big businesses that can afford to take losses. DeBlasio and Cuomo knows that so they're letting it go on as long as they can make Trump look bad. If DeBlasio or Cuomo was looking to get reelected this year, they would be on TV condemning rioters and calling the national guard.

Re: SanMan's graphic:
You can spin numbers however you want. There are 6 times as many white people in the US as black, so just looking at fatal police shootings, blacks are proportionately being shot and killed by police at a much higher rate.
And your graphic doesn't even take into account UNARMED shooting deaths by police, which is the real issue. When you look at those numbers, an equal number of whites and blacks are killed, so when you then consider there are 6x as many whites as blacks in the US, which means an even wider racial disparity.
If this seems hard to understand, go back and refresh your junior high math.
Pretty dismissive and demeaning of you but maybe it’s you that needs to go back to junior high.
Blacks commit more crime disproportionately than whites hence they have higher rates of encounters with the law and law enforcement. You didn’t figure that part in did you?
I’m willing to bet that if black crime rate went down, so would their police brutality rates as well.

It's simple because blacks commit the most crime in the country they will be disproportionately represented in police shootings. This is just simple math.
Unarmed death by police is a tiny number compared to the black on black crime that democrats keeps ignoring. Every Democrat controlled city has a high number of black killing black statistics and people like you keeps sweeping it under the rug. And making it seem like police are routinely shooting blacks.
Yes, lets keep blaming the cops. And they are drastically leaving black neighborhoods and letting black criminals terrorize them and black people then complain that police no longer come when they call for help.
