Too be fair, most cops are decent people. 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..

So in the worst year of lightning fatalities recorded in American history, the average American had may be 1/10 the chance of being killed by lightning each year compared to Americans of today had of being killed by guns.

Fast forward to now, for the average American Today, lightning rods and indoor sedentary habits have reduced rate of lightning fatality by a factor of 30.    So the average American now has 1/300 the chance of killed by lightning compared to being killed by guns.     A factor of 300 is very rough indeed.

Oddly enough, spontaneous human combustion seems to have a race preference.

And if it were 2000 you would be making the same argument. What was that about goal post moving ?

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.
