All i am saying and I think MPowering1 is also stating is All citizens regardless of race better start speaking up. These police are moving goal post all the time on what is considered “legal” without ever asking the public because the police know most of the public will jus go along like sheep.

Stuff is moving so fast in this area, in still stuck on the no-knock warrant issue from last week, damn.
So if men in general are more likely regardless of race, then that is admitting that it is at the very least not all because of race.

Yep, that's what I'm saying. Unfortunately, we've become so divisive we're not going to band together any time soon to push back against the police, the government or anything else. Divide and conquer is at play and it's working.

EVERYONE should be complaining about the shift in the role of police from serve and protect to enforce and kill. Too many trigger happy cops and cops who should have never gotten a badge and a gun.

The reason black women don't face the same odds is because black women are less likely to attack/kill a police officer who has stopped them. There's a reason cops are trigger happy, just look at FBI stats. But that doesn't make it right and something needs to be done to clean house and provide more protection and better training with annual psychological exams and some third party group deciding what to do with bad cops.

The code of silence is real and the set up they have is meant to protect them, not innocent citizens.
I see plenty of whites involved in these BLM protests and posting things on facebook. Many are only apathetic towards other whites. Or afraid to speak up due to the harassment they would receive.

White the ratio of shooting is 2-1, the ratio of population is more like 6-1.

Overall the reasons behind it are complicated and are driven by a number of different factors.

Cause you have to look at it in terms of percentages and/or per capita. There are way more white people

Nope sometimes it’s just police over reach and law violations, it sure why that would make you feel better about it. Your fine with a crazy cops playing Russian roulette with your life. That’s a first for me.

You know after a azz woopin with a baton we all end up the same black and blue. Not sure why race is so important Too you considering it is happening more and more to all people. Seems the take away is the “ALL Americans are at risk” part.

But for some reason there is no media coverage, no grand jury, no department of justice investigation. The reason is because it does not suit the agenda to "fan the latent hostilities of low-income, inner city residents". You will notice that is a quote. A man named Saul Alinsky said it. It is a strategy for so called "community organizers" to gain power. Funny that Hillary Clinton wrote her thesis on this very thing. Amazing how easy the public can be manipulated. The strategy is to "search out controversy" "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it,
Funny, it's pretty easy to pull up media coverage on all of those. Some included protests. Many had lawsuits filed by surviving family. Also no mention of what they were doing...not just that they were unarmed. The Gaver mess where the whole family was brawling and immediately attacked police and went for the officer's gun...really? There were investigations done. So what's your agenda?

We need to up our game. White people will not be truly equal until 7x as many whites are shot by cops as all minorities put together. Just 2x as many is pitiful. What are the cops thinking?
