12. Yes, I do.
... Add that to the fact that the police are generally more scared of black people and are more biased against us than they are of whites, of course that explains why they're killing us at a higher proportional rate than whites.
Well, either MrS is lying, or grossly ignorant. I'm nice and in a good mood,
, so I'll go with "grossly ignorant":
Police kill more whites than blacks, but minority deaths generate more outrageBy Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Tuesday, April 21, 2015
Nobel Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison says she wants to see an officer shoot an unarmed white teenager in the back before agreeing that the “conversation about race†is over, but she almost certainly already has received her wish.
An analysis released last week shows that more white people died at the hands of law enforcement than those of any other race in the last two years, even as the Justice Department, social-justice groups and media coverage focus on black victims of police force.
IMO, there are two reasons for MrS's gross ignorance: like many other DU-folk (and many Libs/Progs generally), MrS refuses to hear inconvenient truths when the sources are sources he hates (e.g. Fox, the WashTimes, etc.); the sources MrS will listen to publish what supports their narrative and worldview andmostly ignore what does not. Hence, re the latter, MrS won't hear about whites who are killed by police. Such instances might get 2-3 lines in the
B or
C sections of local papers, and pretty much nothing on broadcast "news". OTOH, a significant percentage of cases of a black being shot by a police officer get instant nation-wide coverage, and when the police officers are vindicated, the national MSM either cast doubt on that part of the stories, or just go silent.
