tell me. Compared to the way things sued to be, How bad is 1.6x as many? or .6 more? I'm sorry but the argument isn't that racism doesn't exist. It's that the police system isn't systematically murdering black people on purpose because of racism.
Of course, there is Racism. We only freed slaves roughly 200 years ago. Now that may sound like a while but in the grand scheme of things, Racism has been around WAYYY longer than that, ya know? Not Every cop is racist. And this proves it. Cops don't just shoot black people on purpose. Whether they're scared or panicking because of bias... That may be a different story. but this isn't nearly as bad as people say it is. America is still changing and as it changes so does everyone in it. Racism isn't that bad here compared to other countries. You have to have faith in humanity but nobody does.
The Police are not evil. just a few cops are evil. Besides, These numbers we're looking at don't talk about who was unarmed or armed. If you wanna know, 168 of those Blacks were armed with guns. 34 with knives. 202 of those men were armed. leaving 54 with fake weapons, other weapons, or unarmed.
245 of the whites had guns, 76 had knives. 321 were armed. leaving 103 with other or unarmed.
103 vs 54 when 2.6 more white men were arrested.
40 - 54.
14 more "Unarmed" or not "Significantly armed" black men were killed.
How terrible really is that? We can't even call those 14 racism... not logically... It would have to be a coincidence.
