@no1marauder saidBecause I'm framing it in the context of the reality that is currently happening while this is happening!!! I'm not doing a full analysis right now. You said I couldn't find an instance of a white man being shot while fleeing because they don't exist! That what this whole spinoff was about! You weren't aware that any instances existed! That was my point!
Why should we limit it to 2020 when we have a database back to 2015?
I'm perfectly aware of what you are trying to do, but you are miserably failing to produce any stats, no matter how cherry picked, that don't show that a black person in the US is substantially more likely to be killed by police than a white person.
@joe-shmo saidActually, I already admitted I didn't read your post carefully enough where you ignored the main factors that made the Brooks case newsworthy.

You said I couldn't find an instance of a white man being shot while fleeing on foot because they don't exist! That what this whole spinoff was about! You are incapable of admitting your egregious errors!

@no1marauder saidWell, the data base isn't showing whether any body cam footage exists on the 11 unarmed White people. Its obvious that its absolutely fine for that to stay "11- No or Unknown" because frankly its not important!! No one cares to find out if these shootings were justified - which I can't image any reason why they would be justified! Why should one black mans life be of MORE concern than one White mans life!?!? Why Marauder??

@philokalia saidA well-trained, disciplined police force wouldn't and doesn't kill civilians at the rate those in the US do. Here's some handy dandy charts:
What I don't get...
Chauvin has been arrested. Indeed, many police have all been arrested for their crimes.
Chauvin was actually arrested in... five days. In the same district, Mohammed Nouri, who shot an unarmed Australian woman at point blank range, took months & months & months before a grand jury was convened. It was 8 months until the man was held in custody. ...[text shortened]... that the police routinely violate your basic human rights and get away with it just isn't very true.

@no1marauder saidNo idea why you would dare to trot out such a comparison.

The situation n the US is so radically different from every other developed country.
We're the only developed country in the world that has cities on the list of the most violent cities in the world by murder rate!

How could it be any other way?
How can we compare ourselves at all to a place like Iceland or Wales?
@Philokalia
Yes, I pointed that put showing the incarceration rate in the US versus the world,
and the US was the going away winner. Nobody has our incarceration rate.
I did that under the context of explaining that poverty is NOT the predicator
to crime that they all think it is because I stacked the rich US incarceration rate
against some very poor countries with much lower incarceration rates.
There was no correlation. But with libs, that went nowhere.
