Anyone who sees those stats and doesn’t see institutionalized racism is a fool. You’re quoting proof. Cop violence against those white people is awful, yes there are thousands of stories. What these riots and boycotts are about is the 2.5 TIMES the death rate by police for blacks. The way your stat presents that for 2020 is purposely misleading. Go ahead and reread your own stats of “215 white deaths vs “111 Black Deaths” in 2020 by police, but this time remember to state that the black population in the US is only 13%, and be horrified.
I don't think anyone is denying institutionalized racism.
The statistics don't like. There is a disproportionate number of African Americans in jail and systemic racism does play a role in that. I am not going to argue against that.
Canada has a similar scenario with First Nations. Common denominator is poverty and broken homes.
All I am trying to say is if you resist arrest, have a violent history and escalate the situation without complying getting injured and killed is a likely scenario.
That is what ended up happening and I cant see why people are surprised of the outcome. Race has nothing to do with it.
He was a threat to the safety of the officers and general public. His prior violent history is a further aggravating factor.
