White people are the current 'problem race' in the eyes of our leaders.
just like in decades past with opium/opioids...first it was the Chinese who were the problem...then it was the black people...today, its white folk...who knows what race it will be in the future?
Wouldn't it make sense that the rate of police killings would broadly relate to the crime rate of a population? - eg: males are more likely to be killed by police, because they commit more crime.
First of all quoting an opinion article from the WSJ and a quote from Larry Elder (that leads back to the same WSJ article) doesn't amount to "looking deep into the data". Maybe you have a link from a valid source that supports the claim that more unarmed whites than blacks are killed.
Secondly it's not just about pure data, it's the manner in which unarmed blacks are killed in traffic stops and other ways we have witnessed over the years.
You think police shoot white people more politely?
We have seen what happens with white flight out of the cities and we're about to see white flight out of the USA...the USA will look like Venezuela or possibly Detroit.
Yeah, where are they going to go? The usual options are socialist with 50% tax rates and are diversifying faster than the US.
Anyway, whites could leave with all their money vis-à-vis white flight from the cities, but their new countries would be seizing that wealth the second they arrive. Btw, your making a fools comparison. White people aren’t magical money fairies. They amassed wealth by design over decades and centuries. The US will still have nukes as well.
Why do white folk have to wait on media to ask for changes? Black folk were ignored by everyone concerning police abuse for decades but it didn't stop black folk from speaking out or saying something.
So why do white folk alway sit around waiting for the media to do everything and not get off their hands and do it themselves?
Perhaps if more white folk spoke out loudly about police abuse and not pretend, "Thin Blue Line Support" = "Patriotism", and not a potential area for government abuse of the worst kind, the one that actually can affect you locally in your neck of the woods, we could correct this issue and even do it in a balanced way. Will never be a balanced response with 1/2 our population pretending police abuse never happens and your all criminals.
White folk scream louder about China's Government abuse than Government abuse happening in their backyards. Stupid to me.
Your posts isn't true. Whites do speak out about police brutality. We do know that whites, as a group, are much more likely to wait for due process
If you care about blacks, teach a class on how to act around law enforcement.
Better yet promote taking care of kids. 70% of all black children are raised in a single parent environment. As a group single parent children are the ones who commit the high rates of crime.

True but your over simplifying a bit. What caused the single parent households to proliferate? Feminism, drug war, excess incarceration, cultural shifts among others all play into and exacerbate each other.
So you agree that blacks are killed by cops at a Disproportionately high rate?
No because they interact more because they commit crimes at a much higher rate. According to the Department of Justice’s “Felony Defendants in Large Urban Counties, 2009,” in the country’s 75 largest counties, blacks committed 62 percent of robberies, 45 percent of assaults and accounted for 57 percent of murder defendants.

There are no studies that say those things are significant.
The single parent family growth started in the mid 1960s with the huge increase of welfare. It hurt the poor the most.
If the birth mother lived with the birth father they have to live off of his income. If they lived under different roofs, the birth mother gets child support from the birth father and welfare from government.
If the child lives in a high crime area and has a stable family life, 2 parents, 1 working fulltime, and no addiction they have a 90% chance of avoiding juvenile delinquency. If not they only have a 10% chance.
The number 1 reason that couples fight is over money.
