OLB happens to not have had to deal with any bad cops and I'm sure a lot of people (especially white people) have similar experiences, especially in more rural communities. OTH, the cops in America steadily kill around a thousand people a year. I'm sure many of those are unavoidable, but it doesn't take very many bad cops to be a very serious problem. What's weird is that OLB seems to think his personal interactions with local cops trump anything else happening in the country.
Kill 1000 a year...
And ALL of those were unarmed people?
No?
Gee....
So you think when the cops are getting shot at - they aren't supposed to shoot back?
Let's quit moving the goalposts folks -
How many UNJUSTIFIED shootings a year?
According to this - 13 unarmed black men were shot nationwide in 2019..

That’s not what the article says. It says that 13 black men were shot and killed by police.
How many unarmed black men were killed by police by other means? How many unarmed black men were shot but not killed? What about black women?
Claiming that only 13 unarmed black men were shot by police over the course if a year, and somehow implying that this counts as evidence that cops in your country don’t treat black people badly, is to miss the whole point about how black people are treated.
