so more unemployment, meaning lower average income, more poverty
these aren't people killing because they would otherwise starve
I'm talking about uneducated people
@I. Ron Butterfly there are more white people than black people in poverty
so how much of it is actually black on black crime
Even per capita?
@trent number wise
17 million whites in poverty
8 million blacks
So is that a higher percentage of black people in poverty
than white people
Ok ok
but this percent will not effect the total crime
now look at what percentage committed crimes worth getting shot for
or whatever
is there a way to find how many of these killings were necessary or not
apparently the argument is that more black people are *unnecessarily* killed by cops
the burden of proof is on whoever makes that claim
yeah but still
pretty sure it's just assumed by peopel saying it
anecdotal
I doubt that statistic actually exists
regardless of the number it would put the cops in a bad light
if societies were racially homogenous, this wouldn't be an in issue
this is a problem with a diversity of ethnicity
people can point to differences in the groups and cry racism
without proof of racism
people tend to get shot while resisting arrest
Yep
Especially resisting violent crime
931 is not that big of a deal without evidence that they were really wrong to shoot in those cases
and being wrong to shoot doesn't just mean that the person was unarmed
but that there wasn't good reason to consider the person armed in the moment
also people can be dangerous without having a weapon
who knows man it's hard to get to the bottom of this
