Are those people innocent or is there more to it?

That would be the obvious question, wouldn't it be vegetal?Clearly no one will ever know.... because they're dead.

If a person shoots at an officer and is killed, is that person counted among the 1,000?

The number counted among the 1,000 is the amount of people killed by law enforcement without being found guilty by a judge and jury.https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/

Did you know there’s not judge/jury when someone shoots at you and you shoot back?

Did you know that police officers lie during their testimonies in order to save their ass, similar to the 4 officers that were fired last week in Minneapolis? Therein lies the obvious conflict with solely depending on a killers testimony for "evidence".

I’m not saying there isn’t police brutality, man. I’m asking if any of the “1,000 a year” are obviously justified. Caught on camera, eye witnesses. You’re arguing a straw man.

Jesus...yes clearly at least some of those 1,000 deaths were justified. Now, indulge me. The UK has similar rates of violence as the US. LEO killings in 2019 for the UK=4? The U.S used lethal force at 25,000 x the rate of the UK. Does that sound reasonable?

“At least some” needs to be more accurate. Of COURSE there is a problem with police brutality in America. The argument presented by Scott was that it’s not based on race. Seems you agree that it’s just systemic?

I couch the argument in it being systemic, yes. Largely because I know a conservative's IQ will drop 30 points after the word "racism" is used. Now does the adjective you use to describe the problem make the problem not a problem?

Everyone knows racism exists. And I'm willing to agree institutional racism exists too. But it would help if someone could point to it or describe it, along with a suggestion of what to do about it.

End the precedent of "qualified immunity". I could give you my anecdotal "racism" evidence as an unarmed black man w/o a record who has had a gun drawn on him for putting his hands in his pocket, but I'm sure I won't change anyone's belief system in 120 characters.
