Not big on interview videos with just a few people, but I would be interested in a poll asking people how many unarmed individuals are killed by police each year (broken down by race). I'm willing to bet a significant amount that perception is nowhere near reality.https://twitter.com/AmiHorowitz/status/1384542943357202441 …

Mostly because media coverage and political discussions of those events are so bad that they actively misinform people, which makes it difficult to have a worthwhile discussion.

I guess someone did this poll for how many unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019 & what percent of those killed were black. The actual number in 2019 (according to WaPo's database) was 13. The actual percentage of black people killed by police in 2019 was ~24%.pic.twitter.com/EXYJLjDJqO

Oh... does that fall in the “acceptable”amount of Black people killed by police? DO YOU EVEN HEAR YOURSELF?

What about the billion cops killed every year?

The billion? You can’t even pretend to craft a reasonable response?

If your position is, literally, that it does not matter if the numbers are accurate, why not go big?

We are talking about human lives and you are making a mockery of death.
