Nope, that's utter bullshit. According to your statistics, a cop is 165 times more likely to be killed by a white man than the other way around. Of course a cop is more likely to be killed, because it's their job to go into dangerous situations. This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

So you're saying Mac Donald manipulated statistics in the same way everyone else does? I'm shocked, shocked! Yes a cop is more likely to be killed, not as likely as a young black man in West Chicago or Baltimore is.

As if that makes it right. Many people commit crimes every year, does it make crime good? You're making an appeal to popularity. Since Mac Donald grossly misrepresented data to come to the false conclusion that cops were somehow the victims, her statistics are irrelevant and should be summarily dismissed. Do you seriously believe that misleading data should be disseminated to the public and accepted? It's interesting how only the 18.5 statistic is peddled and not the 165 statistic. It's almost as if there's a hidden agenda being pushed out by people like you of black man bad.

I guarantee you, if a left wing researcher misrepresented data in the same way that Mac Donald did, you wouldn't shut up about it.

From Wiki

In the United States, use of deadly force by police has been a high-profile and contentious issue.[1] In 2019, 1,004 people were shot and killed by police according to the Washington Post, whereas the "Mapping Police Violence" project counted 1,098 killed, of which 24% were black people (despite them making up just 13% of the overall population).[2][3][4]

Police killings are one of the leading causes of death for young men in the United States.[5] 1 in 2,000 men and 1 in 33,000 women die as result of police use of deadly force.[5] The risk is highest for black men, as approximately 1 in 1,000 black men can expect to be killed by police.[5]

It is a shame that ImgFlip lacks highlight and other tools to point out fallacies.

I have been googling for about an hour and there is no complete data on those killed by police, because all States do not report it to the FBI.

So, we get anti police authors that skew the available info one way ad pro police authors that skew it in the other direction.

If you look at the Wiki second paragraph you mat notice that if every person killed by police was a black male that there would only be 1,098,000 black men living in America.

There are actually over 37 million non Hispanic blacks of which I would suppose that at keast a third are late teen to adult men.

It is wrong to murder anyone. Justifiable homicide is legal for you as well as police officers.

It's not good to cherry-pick your information. The same site you cited goes on to say:
"Due to lack of reliable data, it is difficult for researchers to draw causal inferences as to whether racial discrimination affects police use of deadly force. Two prominent studies have concluded that police do not use deadly force more frequently against black suspects than white suspects.[6][7]"

Oh that makes up for the blatant lies in the second paragraph.

Yes there is no good data and no conclusions can be made, but my point is that both sides ignore that and spin it their way.

Or are you saying your side is right and only the other side is lying?

You drink a lot of cool ade?
