Those who profit from the multi-billion dollar 'industry' that is racism and who benefit political from dividing the nation have sewn the seeds of racial hatred, ignorance, and division, much of it through lies and manipulation.
I am not saying racism isn't real, that there aren't 'racist' / 'bad' cops - Tulsa showed us there are...however, minorities have been manipulated and brainwashed into believing EVERY time a black is shot by a policeman it is because of RACISM, because it was the POLICE's fault. This has caused a massive distrust between blacks and whites, blacks and the police. It has also created a racial 'powder keg'. Perhaps a 'tea kettle' is more appropriate, as each incident like those mentioned above results in riots and chaos - a 'letting off of steam' which possibly prevents the much worse potential racial 'war'.
One of the ways to combat this manipulation, myth, and lies is EDUCATION. Some believe 'whites are demons' and that the police are 'out to get blacks. The FACTS simply prove this is not the case:
------------------------------------------------------
Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015.
1. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black.Jul 7, 2016. The majority of these victims had a gun or "were armed or otherwise threatening the officer with potentially lethal force.
2. More whites and Hispanics die from police homicides than blacks. According to Mac Donald, 12 percent of white and Hispanic homicide deaths were due to police officers, while only four percent of black homicide deaths were the result of police officers.
3. The Post's data does show that unarmed black men are more likely to die by the gun of a cop than an unarmed white man...but this does not tell the whole story. The “unarmed” label is literally accurate, but it frequently fails to convey highly-charged policing situations. In a number of cases, if the victim ended up being unarmed, it was certainly not for lack of trying.
-- Such is the case with Michael Brown, who attacked a policeman and attempted to take his weapon. Brown died when he was shot by the policeman in self defense.
4. Black and Hispanic police officers are more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers. This is according to a Department of Justice report in 2015 about the Philadelphia Police Department, and is further confirmed that by a study conducted University of Pennsylvania criminologist Greg Ridgeway in 2015 that determined black cops were 3.3 times more likely to fire a gun than other cops at a crime scene.
5. Blacks are more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops. This is according to FBI data, which also found that 40 percent of cop killers are black. According to Mac Donald, the police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black than a cop killing an unarmed black person.
Being a cop is a dangerous job...and this explains a little why police are more apprehensive about approaching black suspects / individuals. Not saying it's right, just saying it explains it a little better / more.
