A database collected by The Guardian found that 1093 people in 2016 were killed by the police. The rate of fatal police shootings per million was 10.13 for Native Americans, 6.6 for black people, 3.23 for Hispanics; 2.9 for white people and 1.17 for Asians.[36] By total, police more frequently killed whites than any other race or ethnicity.[37] As a percentage of the U.S. population, however, black Americans were 2.5 times more likely than whites to be killed by the police in 2015.[37] A 2015 study found that unarmed blacks were 3.49 times more likely to be shot by police than were unarmed whites.[38] Another study published in 2016 concluded that the mortality rate of legal interventions among black and Hispanic people was 2.8 and 1.7 times higher than that among white people. Another 2015 study concluded that black people were 2.8 times more likely to be killed by police than whites. They also concluded that black people were more likely to be unarmed than white people who were in turn more likely to be unarmed than Hispanic people shot by the police.[39][40] A 2018 study in the American Journal of Public Health found the mortality rate by police per 100,000 was 1.9 to 2.4 for black men, 0.8 to 1.2 for Hispanic men and 0.6 to 0.7 for white men.[41]

Thing is that study after study seems to indicate that black Americans are victims of police action/violence at a much higer rate that are white Americans

What evidence have you got to refure that?

 

I don't think it's intentional propaganda by cbs necessarily. However, I find it hard to believe that the group(s) which have been physically confrontational with antifa for the better half of a decade at nearly every event they both appeared at have all of a sudden adopted this strategy with practically no confrontation in the streets.

 

But I wonder how many of them were hurt because they instigated it?
How many were beating, maiming, or killing civilians when they were attacked?

There's violence against cops that goes too far and killing is never ok.
But let's not pretend we're talking about benevolent angels here.
I've seen just as many journalists, protesters, and black people being beaten for no reason or killed with no justification.

None of this would be happening if cops all over the country weren't beating and killing people first.
Or, let's be honest, for the entire history of the country.

 

Further research into this study, it is totally fake numbers. The goal of this research? was to give a psychological impact into how people would feel guilt If they are classified as white, There was actually no data from this bogus research.

negative bias.

and source please for other stats please?

 

It answers the question perfectly. Why would they not defend their neighbourhood regardless of whether they get the ok from the police or not?

What you are really asking is why would the fear of their houses getting burned down come before the fear that later some group unknown to them might think such a stance is racially insensitive. That's la la land territory

What research is this can you show it?

And again I repeat - Thing is that study after study seems to indicate that black Americans are victims of police action/violence at a much higher rate that are white Americans

What evidence have you got to refute that?

Are you saying that you think it a good idea for government authority to be able to give vigilante powers to certain political groupings?

And with an issue that involves a racial dimention what message does it give for government authority to give vigilante powers to a group that is dominated by one racial grouping?

 

They would use number plate recognition nowadays, system would beep before they saw the ethnicity of the driver of the vehicle

 

People defending their own neighbourhood isn't a political grouping

Why? Who gave vigilante powers to a political group?

 

People walking through the streets swinging baseball bats seem like vigilantes and if they are mostly of one political grouping and police approved then they are basically a government appointed political militia

That sounds more like a Latin America banana republic than the US

 

Jesus, I missed that before

Time for Trump to send in the army

 

So what? They singed up for the job. They don't need a special pat on the back. It's sad but let's ask ourselves why the cops were attacked. In some cases it's because someone use the 2nd amendment attitude and decided the cop was tyranny

Do we need to list all the victims of police violence? My list is longer. I'm not going to fall for the trap of seeing American rights as right wing only.

If you really cared about cops you would support gun regulation and justice. It goes a long way to stopping people wanting to hurt them. What you seem to do is forget what free speech and assembly mean.

If a cop can die over a hair cut he can die over a black man. I don't support it but this is America.

 

Oh yes there is. Boogaloo. The motivation is obvious. To stir shit and blame it on Antifa and BLM in hopes of bringing things to a head and justifying armed repressive action. Do you have evidence it was "probably" Antifa, when Twitter says its Identity Evropa? One must wonder then how you'd come to that conclusion.

 

"The New York Times is being blasted for its latest front-page headline following another night of protests and "mayhem" in the wake of George Floyd's death.

Critics say the headline, which reads ‘As chaos spreads, Trump vows to ‘End it now” – is too favourable towards the US President and “erases” the meaning of the protests."

US rocked by George Floyd protests


Sounds like the folks at the NYT are fed up and now want Trump to protect them

 

Lol no that's how you write a political opponent. You embrace all the stereotypes. We see that here. "ANIFITA" is not ashamed to be racist. We even see the hint of being in the KKK. We all know the Republicans ALWAYS go back to the 19th century to say Lincoln was there guy.

Do you not see this? They are using the same old talking points. A racist group is going to exploit black people and make the siutstion worse.

Kind of like if was running a Trump page I would say "I don't need no school. I got guns, my sister, and my Bible. Why don't you try to stop me from going to Church? I have a pistol holder that fits under my Sunday best Dems!"

Same idea.

 

Sounds like right wing extremists, too. Are you really that naive?

 

I know the story only too well.

James Byrd was walking home late one night when a pickup truck stopped just feet away. They asked him if he wanted a ride home and he said yes,
since he recognized one of the men as a longtime acquaintance.

They drove him to a clearing in the woods and beat him nearly to death, they urinated on him, then chained him to the back of the truck and drove a few miles.
They took what pieces of him were left and dumped them in front of the first black church they could find.

The story resurfaced just about a year ago, when they executed one of the men. He should have a pitchfork up his ass about now.
