OT Black Man In Minnesota Dies After Cop Kneels On His Neck/ Portland Riots

Great post because this is so fucking true. I lived and worked in Oakland for years. I’ve never once been treated badly walking the streets that are predominantly black. Not once. I’m not saying there aren’t “bad” black people. All races have bad people. But shit people in this country couldn’t be more wrong than when they feel unsafe around Black people. Makes me fucking furious

 

Not my problem if you can’t get the math. Figure it out.

Results:
Victims were majority white (52%) but disproportionately black (32%) with a fatality rate 2.8 times higher among blacks than whites. Most victims were reported to be armed (83%); however, black victims were more likely to be unarmed (14.8%) than white (9.4%) or Hispanic (5.8%) victims. Fatality rates among military veterans/active duty service members were 1.4 times greater than among their civilian counterparts. Four case subtypes were examined based on themes that emerged in incident narratives: about 22% of cases were mental health related; 18% were suspected “suicide by cop” incidents, with white victims more likely than black or Hispanic victims to die in these circumstances; 14% involved intimate partner violence; and about 6% were unintentional deaths due to LE action. Another 53% of cases were unclassified and did not fall into a coded subtype. Regression analyses identified victim and incident characteristics associated with each case subtype and unclassified cases.

It's commonly discussed and addressed by people with problematic attitudes on race who want to change the subject from the awful discrimination black people face, especially from the police.

 

...and?...how about black on black?

 

...well,...how about you explain it then...if you can. Are you disputing factual stats?

...and you can take your snide condescending "problematic attitudes" comment and stick it in your ear.

 

This thread now:

 

...so in other words, you'd rather not discuss it rationally, or at all.

 

...damn...I'm busted.

It’s math. I don’t know how else to discuss it. 13.4% of population and double that is getting shot by police.

 

No. What's to explain?

Nothing snide or condescending about it.

 

Far be it for me to judge others 'cause God knows, I've got my faults. But sometimes you need to just end an endless quarrel. One or hopefully both of you could be the better man. How about talking about something you guys could agree on like fishing, food, women, dirty jokes, poking fun at our favorite target, Sly just so long as you don't poke fun at me because Lordy, Lordy, I'm above reproach.
