Maybe it would be good for everyone to look at ALL the facts, then make logical assessments from that before acting and spouting out â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â–
I don’t necessarily disagree with the sentiment. But with the history of this country, and the recent high profile murders of different black folks, is it any wonder why there is such uproar?
I understand, there does seems to be “some” racial intent behind it. But the facts also remain that if Floyd was white it wouldn’t get nation attention.
My problem is police is unnecessary brutality. That’s where the focus should be on IMO.
You know my history here.
I never heard of Tony Timpa until OP posted this information.
Who says it doesn’t happen towards whites or other groups? Straw man has entered the chat.
Blacks are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police than whites. Those same blacks killed by police are also 1.5 times more likely to be unarmed at the time of their death then the whites who were killed. Blacks are much more likely to be killed by police and much more likely to be unarmed when it happens. There is a race issue when it comes to frequency and circumstance. There is no race issue when it comes to police using excessive force and at times killing people.
I’ve heard more than my share of liberals on TV say that this could never happen to a white man. I’ve got a news flash for you, the essence of most politics in America is about pushing a narrative.
Blacks are arrested more, so it’s OK that more of them are killed. That sum it up? Maybe you can share some statistics as to how blacks are more frequently arrested than whites for the same actions?
