THEDIRTYBUBBLEMore white people get killed by cops than black people every year. Guess we should start rioting

That's because white people are the majority. Black people are disproportionately killed by police officers. Seriously, how the fuck can you ignore that an UNARMED black man is seven times more likely to be shot by a police officer than a white person? Your little bullshit that more white people are killed by cops is complete bullshit. It doesn't take into account population or anything. But I guess it's easy not to care about racial issues being a white middle class kid on a skiing website.

RusticlesThe first guy, Anton Sterling was asking for it. If a cop (or anyone for that matter) has a gun to your face giving you explicit instructions then you should listen, doing anything other than what you have been instructed is going to get you shot, not that hard a concept to grasp apparently only thugs do not understand this. Doesn't bother me one bit when I hear about this.

Next guy, This sounds like an unfortunate circumstance of a rookie officer nervously shooting an innocent man based on in-experience and composure. The cop is at fault here and should face the necessary discipline

100% yes.

Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks commit around half of homicides in the United States. Department of justice reported that between 1980 and 2008, blacks committed 52% of homicides. From 2011 to 2013, 38.5 per cent of people arrested for murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault were black.

No fucking shit that blacks are killed disproportionately/more likely to be shot/racially profiled.

I would bet men are much more likely to killed by a cop than a woman. Why? Likely for a similar reason more black folks are killed than white folks-. They are percieved as a greater threat. Unfortunately, in both cases the statistics back up the perception.

Cops have a tough job, and knowing the signs of possible trouble help keep them safe. Unfortunately, this seems to be taken too far to often

If accounting for population proportion, black men are shot and killed seven times as much as their white counterparts that does not correlate to probability. That would be like saying "we flipped a coin last year 100 times and 60 of them were tails, so you have a 60% chance of flipping tails. false. Each circumstance is its own independent event that you can't really assign probability to. When people say black men are "7 times more likely" to get shot when pulled over, it implies that every police officer is racist and more likely to shoot a black man than a white man by exactly 700%." It's a misleading way to day it. It also assumes that this years stats are the same as last years and will continue to be the exactly the same going forward. Why don't people just say what it actually is...when accounting for population percentages, data shows that black men are shot seven times more often. Not black men are seven times more likely to get shot on any given traffic stop than white men.

whites commit crime at the similar rates to blacks when you factor in socio economic status. There just happens to be more blacks in low socioeconomic areas due to multiple reasons. You still haven't addressed my point about how a black man is seven times more likely to be shot by a police officer when unarmed than their white peer. This conversation isn't about black crime, it's about police officers shooting dead unarmed black men. I thought this was America where innocent until proven guilty was the basis of your legal system? Or does that only apply to white people.

Unarmed doesn't necessarily mean "non-violent".

I live in a city where there are shootings every day, and police involved shootings occasionally. What I want to know is why people think the police are the problem. I think they could be part of the problem, in a neutral way just because the neighborhoods are so fucking violent that the police have to be aggressive in order to maintain some semblance of law. You know it's bad when you drive past kids hustling on the corner at 1:30pm on a school day.

Yet when someone is shot/stabbed/set on fire no one steps forward as a witness. The schools are underfunded. I've worked with guys making minimum wage who don't even know how many kids they have. All of this creates a cultural problem.

I guess you could say I'm just sick and tired of politicans blaming things that won't fix the problems, shit schools and a segment of my city that is a callous, violent shit hole that takes no responsibility for the hell they live in...that they help enable.

Alton Sterling threatened people with his gun, resisted arrest, then continued to wrestle for his gun.

But no. It happened because the cop is an evil racist whitey.

californiagrownIt's a tough situation. Yes, black folks are more of a threat to police officers by percentage, but we also shouldn't operate in a society where the innocent individual is punished simply because of the color of their skin.

I think black folks absolutely have a good reason to be pissed at the unfair treatment, but I also understand why cops treat black folks differently.

Idk what the solution is. Do you have any ideas?

I have no idea dude... That's why I went into a career that has little to do with politics lol.

I think I called for "stats" for a different reason than I insinuated. What I meant by it was those super high crime rates naturally lead to more confrontations with police. Of course there will be more police vs black violence when there are that many more interactions.

r.simpLif you commit a crime you should be ready for the repercussions, if you're resisting and clearly trying to fight the officers effort to detain you and putting the officers life at risk than yes by all means you shoukd get shot

Please, you're like 16. Learn how to spell. And since when is having a busted taillight a crime that's punishable by death. The issue is we are having more of these judge dredd killings, where the cop acts as judge jury and executioner. We have a judicial system for a reason, and that's to decide a mans guilt. It's not complicated.

r.simpThe thing is though black people aren't the majority getting killed by the police so in all reality white people the majority that gets killed by police should have more attention

As nerdy kid shows this "whites are the majority killed by police" is really a misused statistic. Whites are the majority. Whites are killed by cops in more violent crimes. Whites are also shown more leniency. I don't understand why it literally has to be made out to be so black and white. That by supporting blm you're somehow hating whites. Or that the killings aren't the majority of killing so they don't need to be given the attention they're due. We need to focus on fixing the problem and ignorant sixteen year olds like you don't help.

onenerdykidI'm aware of the total numbers, but it's the proportions that are alarming that we, as citizens concerned about justice, need to be critical of:

"Although black men make up only 6 percent of the U.S. population, they account for 40 percent of the unarmed men shot to death by police this year, The Post’s database shows. In the majority of cases in which police shot and killed a person who had attacked someone with a weapon or brandished a gun, the person who was shot was white. But a hugely disproportionate number — 3 in 5 — of those killed after exhibiting less threatening behavior were black or Hispanic."

THEDIRTYBUBBLEWhere is your source for this because I call bullshit

Lance Hannons followed up on WJ Wilson's observation that if you reduce the amount of poverty in an area you reduce the amount of crime. This was found to be true whether it was a white ghetto, black ghetto or hispanic ghetto. Poverty causes crime. It's the single biggest factor in crime. Ask any criminologist about what causes crime and they will answer poverty. If you wish you can subscribe to the violent subculture theory, then that's fine. But keep in mind that theory suffers from the flaw that it's poverty which causes a violent subculture. So even if you want to subscribe to said theory, you will still have to agree that poverty and not the colour of your skin causes crime.

INB4 you complain because you can't acces the study. You go to college right? You should be able to access scholarly articles. If not, then I don't want to have any more discussion about crime considering you can't even access the articles to form an informed opinion.

Castile was one of the rare instances where it was the cops fault, he was doing everything properly to not get shot and the cop, probably on pins and needles due to recent events flinched and pulled the trigger.

Most of the other events some thug thinks he can play quick draw McGraw when the officer has his gun out already and they generally lose.

Wasn't there just a huge discussion/thread about how all kinds of tragedy could be stopped if everyone was carrying? Or maybe that just applies to white folks.

Orlando - if people were carrying, the shooter could have been stopped.

Philando - if he wasn't carrying, he wouldn't have been shot.

Let's be real about this. Is blocking a major highway for hours on hand and in doing so disrupting the lives of people who are just trying to get to their destination all in the name of supposedly "demanding justice" really a sound form of civil disobedience? Half these assholes don't give two shits about what they are supposedly prostesting and are just there to be there. There is a difference between civil disobedience and being an inconsiderate ass.

Unless something crazy comes out, by all accounts, Philando was a decent, respectable guy who was murdered in front of his family by a cop.

She said she was in shock.

THEDIRTYBUBBLEYes the Spaniards were involved, but thats not the point of my post. The notion that I should denounce my ancestors for something they did not do is absurd.

You shouldnt b judged by your ancestors actions but you should be judged by your efforts to right their wrongs.

r.simpA significantly higher number of white people compared to black people were killed last year yet i didnt see shit about a whte person being killed by the cops. It's pretty simple don't break the rules and don't resist = don't die. Anyone who uses #blm is a complete fuck who is adding on to the whole problem. Why the fuck is everyone such pussies in now like what the fuck.

Ya speaking out against racism is so gay. Civil rights are for pussies. #whitepower

RedneckGravyUnarmed doesn't necessarily mean "non-violent".

I live in a city where there are shootings every day, and police involved shootings occasionally. What I want to know is why people think the police are the problem. I think they could be part of the problem, in a neutral way just because the neighborhoods are so fucking violent that the police have to be aggressive in order to maintain some semblance of law. You know it's bad when you drive past kids hustling on the corner at 1:30pm on a school day.

Yet when someone is shot/stabbed/set on fire no one steps forward as a witness. The schools are underfunded. I've worked with guys making minimum wage who don't even know how many kids they have. All of this creates a cultural problem.

I guess you could say I'm just sick and tired of politicans blaming things that won't fix the problems, shit schools and a segment of my city that is a callous, violent shit hole that takes no responsibility for the hell they live in...that they help enable.

I agree somewhat. I think the fact that the police can sometimes look like an armed insurgency creating police states in poor neighborhoods can help create a sort of self fullfiling proficy. But I agree that concentrating on police brutality can lead people to ignore the greater issues of institutional racism and cyclical poverty.

r.simpthe officer did probably over react but I can't blame them with all the shit that went on last night all because of black lives matter. Why isnt white lives matter a thing?

People say not to blame all cops when 561 people were killed by police this yr. 5 cops get killed and folks want to blame obama and the whole black lives matter movement.

foolmetwiceYou shouldnt b judged by your ancestors actions but you should be judged by your efforts to right their wrongs.

And even if you're ancestors didn't do shit assuming your white you still benefit from your privelege in a society that is institutionally racist.

Crazy Fool

No reasonable person can argue that white privilege applies to the great majority of whites, let alone to all whites. There are simply too many variables other than race that determine individual success in America.
