You kept repeating above that most "cops" are good and that it is the few cops.
I AGREE WITH YOU!
Of course you agree with me. There is no way to get around the huge number of arrests taking place around the nation
without some one being killed. And some of those arrests involve
armed confrontations. My point, though, is that the televised accounts of police executing unarmed black males
happened in rapid succession. Most of those murders were unprovoked and frequently the justification didn't jibe with what we saw.
The Black community saw cops walking away scot free after killing unarmed blacks, some of whom were totally defenseless.. Black citizens ..and especially the families of the victims, just wanted their day in court. And although the Civil Courts offered nominal compensation, that wasn't enough. Protestors sought criminal justice against the killer cops
as a deterrent. The safety of their black, non gang affiliated, children , statistically, was imperiled.
But you like most of your ilk fell for the MSM narrative that it happens ALL the time. That's my point!
It doesn't happen all the time.
No one said it did happen all the time. But at one point there was a quickening in the frequency of such incidents. Protesting brought the DOJ into Ferguson where an in depth investigation showed systemic bias in policing and thrroughout the local justicr system. Blacks were targeted and ticketed to produce revenue for the city disproportionally.
Now...the city of Ferguson has experienced a political metamorphasis. Black voters ousted the progenitors of their pain and installed leaders more favorable to theiir needs.

I began paying attention to reports about the incredible number of unarmed black people being killed by the police."
AGAIN a narrative feed by the BIASED cop hating MSM hungry to take the EXCEPTION i.e. less then 16 unarmed black men" and make it the RULE.
What MSM report? Show me the link to your exact quote about an
"incredible number of unarmed black people being killed by the police."
Just as Kaepernick fell for the gross exaggeration you too have and now you admit it. YES there are bad cops as there are bad people.
But don't fall for the MSM's efforts to spur advertising revenue by taking the EXCEPTION and making it sound like it happens ALL the time.
I have admitted nothing of the sort. I'm just saying those few cops who murder unarmed citizens ought to be fried like bacon in an electric chair. I don't care how many there are...even one is too many.

YOU ASKED!
In early 2016, I began paying attention to reports about the incredible number of unarmed black people being killed by the police. The posts on social media deeply disturbed me, but one in particular brought me to tears: the killing of Alton Sterling in my hometown Baton Rouge, La. This could have happened to any of my family members who still live in the area. I felt furious, hurt and hopeless. I wanted to do something, but didn’t know what or how to do it. All I knew for sure is that I wanted it to be as respectful as possible.

Again I ask you and these grossly uninformed IDIOTS what "incredible" number"????
Then you wrote:
But at one point there was a quickening in the frequency of such incidents.
Please document each of the incidents that was a "quickening". See you use words like "quickening"... what do you mean?
Explain that term after you read this from this source:

Is this what you mean by "quickening"??? Did YOU ever consider (obviously not) modern technology is 24 hour reporting has "quickened" these stories and
you equate them with more?
Again I ask you what did all these have in common?
Lack of common sense in dealing with people that have to deal with ignorant people like them on a daily basis!
