Why Black People Are Being Slaughtered in America By White Cops

His numbers do not match that reference

It was nine a week ago. The WaPo went back and reclassified some and now their database says 15 unarmed blacks were killed by police in 2019. The thousand you cited before was the total killed, but 950+ of those were armed. It is safe to assume you don't fault the police for defending themselves if someone is coming after them with a weapon?
 
Focusing on killings/deaths misses the big picture of violence against people of color and suppression in every aspect of life. Economically, as a group, black people earn 10% of what white people do. That's a huge disadvantage, coming out of the gate Black people can't afford an adeqate living much less a proper education and the essentials to get one. And, yet, people "wonder" at all the crime in black communities.

No doubt it's useful to look at the killings and deaths but only if you look at the big picture too. "Why are black people being slaughtered by white cops" can't be answered just by looking at the individual cases. It's a much bigger problem that demands a big solution.

Well, before the lockdown, black unemployment was at it's lowest point in history. Isn't that the "big solution?"
 
You mean like Obama's rhetoric that had blacks assassinating cops in the street? The head of the law enforcement advocacy group calling out Obama,s rhetoric for shooting 12 Dallas cops and murdering 5, while two NY cops were assassinated sitting in their car, and the two in Philly?

Followed by the refusal of Obama to call out Black Lives Matter, who were actively calling for the death of police officers, then brings them to the White House for tea and crumpets?

Obama said police were racists. He supported thug Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO over the police officer, who was cleared of wrong doing.

Obama injected himself into the Trayvon Martin case, sympathizing with him before the case was adjudicated against Zimmerman. It could have been his son?

William Johnson, the executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations said Its a war on cops and the Obama administration is the Neville Chamberlain of this war.

You just going to ignore that?



And what has the Democrat party done about it in over 60 years. They get 90% of the vote and this is what they have to show for it?

.

Of course they are. When 13% of the population is committing 53% of all violent crimes, cops are more weary of confrontation. I didn't say its right, it just is what it is.

Changing the subject? I'll stand by my statement that Dictator Donnie is the most divisive politician ... EVER.

Democrats DO a hell of a lot more for ALL AmeriCANs than the GOP ever has.

13% of the population makes 10% of what the White population does and lives in the most violent areas of our country, because that's all they can afford.

Possibly, but if it's working two part time jobs to afford to live in poverty it isn't; we need to know a lot more and we, most likely need to DO a lot more.

Well, so much for the Democrats doing a hell of a lot more for the black communities in the last 60 years.

Remind me how Democrats provided
1. The lowest black unemployment in the history of blacks in this country
2. Over 2.4 million Americans have been lifted out of poverty
3. Poverty rates for African Americans reached record lows
4. 7 million Americans have been lifted off of food stamps.

Trump did in 3 years what Democrats couldn't in 60 and you claim they have done a hell of a lot more?

Care to list these achievements that have made a difference in black communities other than isolating them as super predators and uping the incarcerations of blacks with ridiculous prison terms.
 

What situation has gotten out of control? Police killing of blacks as of Obama's SIXTH year in office was 38. As of Trump's SECOND year in office, it was 9.
The statistics do not support this narrative that police are slaughtering blacks. It's just not true.

How about adopting a slogan that accurately represents what you're trying to say, so that people like me might have a chance of understanding and agreeing.

Because ALL lives matter.

Your anger is clouding your thinking.
 
19 Muslims stole planes on 9/11 and killed Americans - therefore all Muslims are evil killers.

A few immigrants kill Americans - therefore all Mexicans are killers.

But a few blacks get killed by cops, and Trump Panty Sniffers twist themselves into pretzels to justify it.

****.

Trump rode the coat tails of President Obama's economic policies to the success he achieved.<--Period AND his tariffs were extremely detrimental to farmers too.

So you can't list all those things Democrats have done for blacks? I didn't think so.

Now we are back to its Obama's economy huh. THen you should convince Obama of it first before you claim it for your own.

Wasn't it the same Obama that said we needed to get used to the 1.7 GDP as the new norm?

Wasn't it Obama that asked the country how was Trump going to do all this, use his magic wand?

In the very first year since Trump’s inauguration, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, 3.15% rose 32.1%. That calculation covers the period from the close of trading on Jan. 19, 2017, the final trading day before his inauguration, and the close of trading on Friday, Jan. 19, 2018.

So Obama worked for 8 years to hand over the second highest stock rise in history huh. Suuuuure he did. To bad he didn't believe it when he was campaigning for Hillary.

You should go tell your story to another Liberal cuz ain't nobody buying that BS around here. lol

Most of the countries in Europe have a lower Gini coefficient than the US meaning more equality. But at the same time they have a higher percentage of their society working part time jobs.
Doesn't the argument of part time workers cut against your argument for equality?

Well, there you go again. I'm not comparing These United States to Europe. I'm comparing them to the United States I grew up in where what you are "AGAINING" about was a dream, being realized, of steady lifetime employment with good benefits and good pay that would support a family throughout their lives. Ronald Reagan Voodoo Economics shipped that overseas and AmeriCANs want it back.

Reagans voodoo economics were intended to stop the shipping of the jobs overseas. The style of economics is called protectionism policies, republicans like Trump are pushing for those. Who let china into the WTO? Who forced the WTO upon the US? Who approved NFTA? Who allowed Chinas currency into the worlds currency reserve fund? The same people who shipped those jobs overseas.... Democrats

Links? That's just koch machine party line propaganda.
 
Isn't that the new norm? Isn't that the narrative given to us by the media? Isn't this the new racial outcry?

I did some checking, lets find out.

Of the 802 police shootings in 2019, 371 of those killed were white, 236 were black. So more whites are killed than Blacks but Blacks are only 13% of the population. So we need to dig a bit further.

Of the 236 Black deaths at the hand of cops, 226 were armed posing a deliberate threat to an officer. From those numbers we need look to the the ones that were unarmed.

10 cases in 2019 of unarmed Blacks were killed by police. Here is the list.

1. Channara Pheap. He was killed by a Knoxville police officer. According to 5 witnesses, Pheap attacked him, choked him and then used a taser on him.
He was shot and killed and no charges pending against the officer

2. Marcus McVeigh. At the time he was killed, he was wanted on drug dealing charges. The Texas State trooper pulled him over. McVeigh fled in his car, then he fled on foot into the woods. There he fought with the trooper and was shot and killed. The officer was not charged in that case.

3. Marzua Scott assaulted a shop employee. When a female police officer arrived and ordered the suspect toward her car, he instead charged her and knocked her to the ground. At that point, she shot and killed him. The entire incident was caught on body camera. The officer was not charged.

4. Ryan Twyman was being approached by two LA County deputies when he backed into one of them with his vehicle. The deputy was caught in the car door. He and his partner opened fire. The deputies were not charged in that case.

5. Melvin Watkins of East Baton Rouge, La. shot by a deputy after he allegedly drove his car toward the deputy at high speed.
The deputy was not charged.

6. Isaiah Lewis, He broke into a house and then attacked a police officer. The police tased Williams, but he kept coming at them and attacking. The officers shot him.
They were not charged.

7. Atatiana Jefferson was shot by a Fort Worth deputy. A neighbor had called a non-emergency number after seeing Jefferson’s door open, thinking something might be wrong. Police arrived. Jefferson saw them approach from a window and was holding a gun at the time.
According to body camera footage, the officer shot Jefferson within seconds.
That officer has been charged with homicide.

8. Christopher Whitfield was shot and killed in Ethel, La. He had robbed a gas station. The Deputy said his gun discharged accidentally while grappling with Whitfield.
The Deputy, who is black himself, was not charged in that killing.

9. Kevin Mason was shot by police during a multi-hour standoff. Mason turned out not to have a gun. Mason claimed to have a gun, claimed to be armed and vowed to kill police with it. They believed him. Mason was in a shootout with police years before.
No officers were charged

10. Gregory Griffin. He was shot during a car chase. An officer claimed he saw someone pointing a gun at him. Later, a gun was in fact found inside the vehicle, and yet the Officer was charged anyway with aggravated manslaughter.

So out of policing over 350 million people, these are the unarmed shootings by police in all of 2019. Surprised?

Of which two officers were charged. You can draw your own conclusions as to what you think was a righteous shooting on your own. But even if you could somehow justify all 10 (Which would be impossible just in common sense)

THIS IS WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS BEING BURNED DOWN AND ROBBED OVER?

Are Police slaughtering Black people for no reason?

Mr. Floyd's death was not justified and the officers will pay the price for that hideous killing but these are the actual numbers of unarmed Blacks being killed and why they were shot.

Stop listening to the leftist fake media.

93% of Black murders are by other Blacks
13% of the population (Black) are committing 53% of all violent crimes

Do you know who is to blame for this?

WE ARE for being dumb enough to allow lying politicians to divide this country into their elective racial segments.

WE ARE for allowing the Black race to be used as political pawns to further a false narrative

WE ARE for allowing race baiting and demonizing of Cops and Whites

This doesn't end with who you vote into office. It only ends when YOU end it.

So who's the real racist in all of this,
the politicians we vote into office,
the media for their fake claims,
or ourselves for being stupid enough to buy into it?

Posting facts and real world evidence to counter agenda driven fantasy is an act that displays unbounded hope and optimism.

You have my respect and thanks!
 
You obviously put a lot of work into this. Why no links?

In the case of Flynn, the officer clearly did not need to continue to have his knee on his neck. Now it is possible all the bystanders trying to tell the officer what to do resulted in him not doing it out of spite I suppose.

That is the most likely view I have heard yet. People in authority seem to get that attitude which is sad.
 
Well we had two cases not too long ago here in North Texas, in one a police officer shot a woman through a window in her living room, he will be going on trial, and another where a police officer shot a man when she entered the wrong apartment, she was convicted and sent to prison. And those are just two cases that came to mind. I think the OP did not really do any research but most likely just did a cut and paste job.
EVERY black person I personally know has been pulled over for no other reason than being black, many more than once, anyone that thinks being black is probably cause is an idiot.
 
Across the nation we have facts...and a bunch of idiot leftists mindlessly out protesting rioting and looting, screeching over lies.

This thread is a pretty decent slice of Americana today, actually.
