The president asserts that “more” White people are killed by police than Black peoplehttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-black-americans-killed-police-white-too/ …

This is the argument though - the justice system is setup to criminalize black life. So of course the crimes they’re targeting happen more often in black neighborhoods. If we put cops perpetually roaming around rich neighborhoods, they’d find just as many drugs for instance.

That is a fantasy narrative with no basis in reality. The idea that crime levels are the same is completely false. There are more police and more arrests in black communities because there is more crime.

I have that - by arrests. Encounters alone aren't tracked as far as I can find...?pic.twitter.com/UyjMGhywYg

Kind of just illustrates that all lives are contributing and therefore all lives matter?

Men are 22 times more likely to be killed by police than women. Is that due to systemic sexism?pic.twitter.com/ZCCNs3Tdwn

Nonsense. That’s due to testosterone, not sexism.

FBI Stats 2019: 1001 police-involved deaths (of perps) out of 10 million arrests. 42 of those deaths involved perps without weapons. 21 were White, 9 Black

And of those 9 unarmed black men, 7 were fighting with/injured the officer. The other 2 were charged with, convicted, and sentenced for murder.

Some would claim bias as reason for encounter. Maybe encounters that result in police being shot or assaulted with a deadly weapon?
