See the link below. Isn't it racism against whites and even latinos that the media and social justice groups don't care about white peoples lives? Its a shame that from the racial bias in public and the media that most people only think this happens to blacks or more often to blacks. Twice as many whites are killed by police than blacks and almost the same number of latinos, yet you don't hear people crying racism to Latinos either. All the social justice warriors and race-baiters would be shocked.
It's a problem for all groups, but you're viewing this wrong. Given the number of people who are black, the odds of being shot by a cop are much higher for that demographic - particularly males aged 18-32 (?). Not sure about that last number.
You can't just say more whites are shot because that's meaningless. Look at the odds of being shot.

Remember having a discussion with a black lives matter person. He is black btw. He said cops don't kill unarmed whites. He said it never happens. I showed him a video of an unarmed white man getting blown away.
First first is this. Cops killing any unarmed person is wrong regardless of race, nationality or ethnicity. The big problem is the militraziation of police in America which causing a great deal of pain for folks who get killed while being unarmed.
Shouldn't it be more like 7 times as many since blacks are only about 13% of the U.S. population? Twice as many isn't enough, is it?
So does an individuals life not matter if they represent more of a population? Other races aren't killed by police to you? It doesn't make sense.
I could argue that blacks commit more crimes, but I don't need to make that argument right now. And you didn't respond to the fact that when latinos are shot there aren't protests. So why aren't there at least some protests for whites killed? Why aren't more black women getting killed by police? You seem to like math, so given your stat then there should at least be one white protest for every 3 there are for blacks.The fact is still that twice as many whites are shot and there are never protests or media coverage.
White people do not subscribe to the “linked fate” mentality that Blacks do. We aren’t one big tribe; we don’t share each other’s successes and we don’t mourn each other’s hard times. Blacks on the other hand are very interconnected, and feel a greater sense of togetherness when it comes to success of their own and also anger when it comes to acts of racism/unfairness against one of their own. We’re just wired differently.

But that doesn't answer the question about why there aren't protests for whites or any other race. Why arent there ANY?? And blacks are shot more because they commit more crimes. Statistically black neighborhoods are more dangerous and have more of a police presence due to this. Also, black women don't face the same odds of getting shot by police, so to blame it on race is ignorant and short sighted.
Its election year politics. Very predictable. Look for more "women treated like crap" stories coming soon too.
