Uh, no. Our cops shoot too many people.
Here's the thing. 1000 suspects were shot last year. How many cops were shot to death? 50. Now it would seem to me that if all these cops were REALLY in fear for their lives, you'd have a LOT more dead cops... and we don't.
50 dead cops a year in a country this gun crazy?
Speaking of other countries, do you know how many suspects get shot by cops in the UK? 5 a year. Most countries, it's single digits.
Yeah, we KNEW we'd get to the racism eventually.
Actually, the only difference is that white people get warnings for things black people get jail for.
Hey, check this video out.. How cops handle a white person walking around with an assault rifle vs. how they handle a black person.
As you say,
Um, irrelevant. BLM was never aimed at overthrowing the government. J6 was.
Many killed by police or vigilantes.
