Even if more black folks are killed by other black folks compared to by cops in America, what's the statistics regarding unarmed black folks being killed by cops compared to unarmed white folks being killed by cops in America?
More people drown in the ocean than are killed by sharks. But they don't fear the water - they fear the sharks.
Conclusion: people are morons.
Same thing.
Cops aren't sharks, or at least they're not meant to behave like them. The number you cited may be small in the grand scheme of things but it shouldn't have to get to that point. Also, this isn't a trend that's only happened in one specific year and it isn't about just numbers anyway. People are seeing what's in these videos and getting all freaked out about it. Imagine you're a black person having to constantly see this same shit play over time and time again to other black people and then wondering if/when your turn will be next. It seems like the cops find it relatively easy to pull the trigger on black folks even when what they're doing isn't warranting such violence. And this shouldn't continue to be ignored and dismissed.
