Well, she be right

she be a shill mouthpiece for rich white conservatives at Prager and Turding Point

You be wrong, boy

So just resisting arrest is enough to justify killing a civilian? Hahahaha.

In 2017, a majority of those killed by police (56 percent) were not attacking with a gun, according to Mappingpoliceviolence.org. That's 638 people not attacking with a gun killed by police.

According to the FBI, 89 officers were killed in the line of duty. Interesting how the federal government collects complete statistics on officer deaths, but not officer-involved civilian deaths, isn't it?

Fool, more Whites are killed by cops than Blacks. And you don't need a gun in your hand to be shot or otherwise killed. All it takes is a reasonable fear for your life. Reasonable fear is the benchmark.

What are the cops afraid of if the suspect is running away from them? Guns are what kill cops more than 97 percent of the time, so why should they be afraid for their lives if the suspect has a knife or other non-lethal object?

Yes, more whites are killed by cops than blacks, but blacks are also over-represented in terms of percentages of those shot and killed by police. You understand how statistics work, right?

Yep..I know exactly how statistics work. They can be manipulated to mean whatever you want them to mean. I, and millions of others have gotten wise to the "proportionally misrepresented" bullshit that liberals & race hustlers love to use.

As far as your 1st paragraph goes, you are referring to the Rayshard Brooks shooting, and you are full of bullshit. The loser fought with the cops, took away a weapon, and as he was "running away from them" he turned and fired at the cops, who then returned fire, striking Rayshard Brooks and sending him to his maker. A legal and justified killing according to existing Georgia law. If there is any justice left, the officer will be aquitted of all charges.

Actually I'm referring to the 2014 shooting and murder of Laquan McDonald, with whom police were initially not charged with his murder because they alleged that he was attacking with a knife. When bodycam footage was released, it was revealed that McDonald was walking away from police, and yet was shot 16 times. Many of those shot and killed by police were fleeing the scene, or in their vehicle (it is extremely dangerous and unethical to shoot at a suspect that is driving, and in some jurisdictions it is outlawed).

I'm glad you think that the law is the ultimate standard of which shootings are justified or not, seeing as cops are almost never even charged with murdering citizens, and very rarely convicted. Cops are generally legally justified in shooting a suspect if they come within 21 feet of the officer. And they have qualified immunity in a majority of cases.

That was not the question. Misinterpretation of the question.

Resisting arrest is an escalation in itself. Why the focus on firearms? Attacking with a gun is only a portion of attacks on police? What about knives and/or other implements? ( what about the attacks in Portland with lasers, fireworks, frozen water bottles, etc. ? )Many things can be used as a deadly weapon, many scenarios justify use of deadly force, even for civilians. Of the 89 (2017 stats?)officers killed, how many were cold blooded ambush murders, sitting in a patrol car or responding to a 911 call before face to face interaction?
Do you have a breakdown on the racial makeup of officers involved in killing black people?
Do you have the stats on police killing other racial groups? And the racial makeup of those officers killing other ethnic groups?

I appreciate the stats, but not what was asked.
Just trying to shed some light from one extreme to the other. If the cops are truly that bad, then people not resisting arrest should be being killed by cops. If there are no bad people, then cops should not be being ambushed.

It is not a simple question with simple answers,

I agree that too many people die. Both police and civilians. I do not have the answers.

Breonna Taylor, (2020) is one. But that is a “no knock” issue, not racial.

Not all people are bad. Not all cops are bad.
Bad people on both sides of the equation.
