No doubt, but that's only relevant if many of the cops were black.

Back to the original point before we disappear into the sunset: do you
think the police would have opened fire if the crowd had been black?

I think they would have stepped aside and begged them not to call the
police racist.

Yes, obviously. As if the police would start shooting 'blacks' now,
lol. Meanwhile BLM and Antifa are still destroying private property
and destroying peoples lives---but it's OK! They're fighting the good
fight against 'racism and bigotry'.

Definitely not. If they were white, then maybe. But probably not too.
Bruce thinks all 'cops' are white and racist. Based on jack-shit, of
course.

Probably not. Police didn't open fire in all the "black lives matter"
protests that turned into riots.

Saw a statistic on the news the other day. Highest rate of gun deaths is
among young blacks under age 30. DUH! It's been that way for years.

The few 'death by police' incidents were mostly all criminals that
didn't yield to the cops. Very stupid of the suspects and very unfair
to the police for defending themselves.

Police lives matter too.

"As of the June 22 update, the Washington Posts database of fatal police shootings showed 14 unarmed Black victims and 25 unarmed white victims in 2019..."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...mn/3235072001/

There is no epidemic of fatal police shootings against unarmed Black Americans
Ideally officers would never need to take anyone's life. But the data on police killings doesn't support reducing or abolishing law enforcement.

Heather Mac Donald Opinion contributor

"Nationally, African Americans between the ages of 10 and 34 die from homicide at 13 times the rate of white Americans, according to researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Justice Department.

For the last five years, the police have fatally shot about 1,000 civilians annually, the vast majority of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. Black people account for about 23% of those shot and killed by police; they are about 13% of the U.S. population.

As of the June 22 update, the Washington Posts database of fatal police shootings showed 14 unarmed Black victims and 25 unarmed white victims in 2019. The database does not include those killed by other means, like George Floyd.

This year, on Sunday, May 31, Chicago had its deadliest day in 60 years. Over the course of that weekend, 25 people were killed and another 85 shot. The reason: An overmatched police force was overwhelmed by the rampant looting and upheavals and had little deterrent presence on the ground. Theres suddenly this vacuum that opens up, said Max Kapustin, the senior research director at a local crime lab, and you see an absurd amount of carnage.

Bad cops of all races must be removed. But the overwhelming majority of officers are in their jobs because of people like that Mount Hope resident who looks out her window hoping to see the police nearby. It is these vulnerable residents who will be most hurt if the defund police activists have their way..."

Yes, of course. See also (links to the studies can be found in the
article):


A 2016 Harvard researcher's study found that Black people are no more
likely to be killed by police officers than are white people. A 2019
study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found
no evidence of anti-Black ... disparities across" fatal shootings by
police. Both white and Black people are far more likely to be murdered
by an acquaintance of their own race than they are to be shot dead by
the police.

GM's another one who doesn't understand the concept of 'per capita'.
Blacks are 13% of the population. If there were 25 unarmed white
victims, there should be 13% of that in black victims to be even. That
would be 3.25, not 14.
