Police violence is a leading cause of death for young men in the United States. Over the life course, about 1 in every 1,000 black men can expect to be killed by police. Risk of being killed by police peaks between the ages of 20 y and 35 y for men and women and for all racial and ethnic groups. Black women and men and American Indian and Alaska Native women and men are significantly more likely than white women and men to be killed by police. Latino men are also more likely to be killed by police than are white men.Risk of being killed by police use of force in the United States by age, race–ethnicity, and sex | PNASSome of the BLM people are doing good work. I can't speak one way or the other for the alleged "leader" of a decentralized group in a multimillion dollar mansion etc., but somehow the killer cops do need to be forced off the beat, coerced away from our persons, houses, papers, effects, and other property, and compelled to respect our constitutional rights, including gun rights.An activist speaking at Black Lives Matter Plaza asked how long before “people are really ready to get blood on their hands” to make change happen. His call to action came during a “Jail Killer Cops” rally in Washington, DC, on Friday evening.
They're not leaving us alone willingly, that's for sure. And we can't exactly fire them with that police union or "vote" their city-hall-appointed bosses out of office.
nonsense......more white people die at the hands of the police......numbnuts like the above come on here and open their pieholes ands spout bullshite like they expect some one to believe it --just because such dupes believe it themselves ---having been thoroughly deceieved
is the percentage wise?
Some "percentages," that show our problem...
In New York City, blacks made up over 74 percent of all known shooting suspects in 2019, though they are only about 23 percent of the city’s population. Non-Hispanic whites were a little over 2 percent of all known shooting suspects, though they are about 34 percent of the city’s population. Those suspect identifications come from the victims of, and witnesses to, shootings—overwhelmingly minority themselves. Shooting victims were over 71 percent black in 2019 and 2.5 percent white. Police do not wish these facts into existence; they are the reality of urban crime. The data mean, however, that the police cannot respond to shootings without being called into minority neighborhoods and being given the description of a minority suspect, if anyone is cooperating with the police.
A New Crime Wave—and What to Do About It
For two decades, many New Yorkers had assured themselves that a return to the crime and squalor of the early 1990s was unlikely. Former mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who presided over a 62 percent drop in major felonies from 1994 through 2001, proved that violence was not an urban inevitability. His...www.city-journal.org
Do you understand why blacks get shot by police?
Heather Macdonald ran the numbers....in the biggest 75 counties in the United States, black make up 15% of the population, but over 60% of the violent criminals......the police go where the crime is.....and that happens to be in minority neighborhoods.....and the primary victims of these violent criminals are minorities......minorities who want more, not less, police in their neighborhoods since they are the ones getting robbed, raped and murdered by these criminals.
