That's the thing about numbers ,you can make people look at a tragedy and think its not so bad. Only 80,000 boys out of 100 million were molested by the Boy Scouts in over 100 years. Doesn't seem like a big deal now. But the men who molested the boys are like the 27 cops who shot too fast. How many of them faced a penalty for it. That number is always to small.

Your making a pretty glaring assumption that those 27 were unjustified killings, as if being unarmed somehow equates to not being a threat.
Plus punishment once one is found guilty of a crime is a different topic altogether.

This wouldn't be an issue worth hundreds of riots, billions in damage, dozens dead, and thousands wounded if the left didn't lie, make assumptions, not have the ability to understand basic statistics, etc.
It is all propaganda.
Of the 27 shot that weren't armed most were indisputably in the act of committing a violent crime including physically attacking the cop.
The left doesn't want the truth, woke BS can't deal in reality.

How does the rest of the civilized world do it? One day the United States will be a member of the civilized world. I think most cops would rather just cuff them and beat the crap out of them anyway. They get more of a rush than just bang and its over. And there is never paper work afterwards.

Do what exactly?
Are you implying that if those 27 people were not killed by police that would represent some huge leap in civility? Considering that can be one weekends death toll in Chicago alone, why does the 27 become emblematic vs symptomatic of a much larger problem that goes way beyond policing.
lol. ah yes, so now black people are criminals. Or are they more likely to be identified that way?
Sort of like NY where black and white people on average carry the same amount of personal use drugs. But stop and frisk? Overwhelmingly targeted them. Result? More of them were criminals.....
Stuff like that? But you pick a cherry picked value in some ways. Violent crime. OK. 52% I think is the figure correct? We can argue that one if you want. Lets start with this though.
Its not genetics. Other countrys dont have this disparity. Are you arguing this is a culture issue? How EXACTLY do you think that culture has formed? You know, when youre the minority, 150 years ago? They were owned. And people have discriminated against them pretty heavily. Massive wealth gaps.
And cops still do. Ive SEEN it. So arguing about this to try and make them the bad guys? Lets get real. There are no good guys here. And no great solutions.
Dont convolute the argument by comparing stop and frisk with violent crime offense rates. The latter requires a victim or eyewitness testimony from the start to finish, precluding the stupid idea that a black guy got a rape conviction because he was just driving while black and cops hate blacks.
No, someehere a woman got raped, or a guy was beaten and robbed, and they went to the police, had them fill out a report, testify in court, and one of your fine upstanding peers ended up in prison for it.
Along the way a cop had to confront and arrest him.
Dont you agree that rapist was a lot more likely to get shot that day, than you were at work or sitting home watching TV?
Then why defend thugs just because youre the same race?
Blacks commit violent crimes on average 8x the rate of whites. That doesnt mean anyone is calling YOU a criminal.
Given the incessant media hype, I guess it isn't surprising that Americans overestimate, by orders of magnitude, the number of unarmed black men killed by police.
22% of respondents calling themselves "very liberal" estimate the number at 10,000 or more.
They think the number is so unrealistically high, because the fake news cable networks they watch have lied to them, and misled them into thinking over 1,000 unarmed black men are being shot and killed by police each year.

That is the perception of anyone watching the Democrat controlled media.
