Long gone are the days when police officers would rapidly race to the sounds of gunfire. Now, they wait for the shooting to stop, then give a little extra time for the perps to vacate the area, then they will go in and check the victims. That is the new reality. Your assertion that cops are murdering people is not born out by fact. Yes, police officers do indeed kill people who should not be killed. That is a given, but the numbers are small. Tragic nonetheless, but thankfully small.
The problem is not that they kill in so-called "small numbers", but what happens to them when they do.
Thus far, police have been allowed to get away with killing indiscriminately without consequence.
That has to stop.

I absolutely agree with you. But they kill a lot more whiteys than they do blacks. It is not a racism issue, it is a power issue. Police, especially corrupt police forces, are very difficult to reign in. They don't care what color you are, they only care that they have power over you.
Funny that you don't use the proportional twist when calculating THOSE statistics.
U.S. police officers have shot and killed the exact same number of unarmed white people as they have unarmed black people: 50 each. But because the white population is approximately five times as great as the black population, that means unarmed black Americans were five times as likely as unarmed white Americans to be shot and killed by a police officer.
Police have shot and killed a young black man (ages 18 to 29) - such as Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri -175 times since January 2015; 24 of them were unarmed. Over that same period, police have shot and killed 172 young white men, 18 of whom were unarmed. Once again, while in raw number there were similar totals of white and black victims, blacks were killed at rates disproportionate to their percentage of the U.S. population. Of all of the unarmed people shot and killed by police in 2015, 40 percent of them were black men, even though black men make up just 6 percent of the nation's population."
More whites killed by police, but blacks 2.5 times more likely to be killed
