...."Black people were 24% of those killed by police in 2022 despite being only 13% of the population. "...
How do you determine "Black" Doc?
I would say the biggest indicator of how at risk you are for being shot by a police officer, has to do with how much you resist arrest
i'm white average, middle class male and not been repeatedly hassled by police for minor stuff repeatedly, as may happen in some communities more, because of race
they call me to Judges desk, and one man comes over to judge and says something into the judge's ear, and the judge says to me, charges dismissed, pay the clerk $10. court fee on your way out.
I tell you what, thank god i'm white. Ive had a a few other encounters with police and none as bad as that, but they all could have gone sour, if I were not white, didnt have kids in car with more my wife with me.
One Chicago cop told me, if it werent for the 5 kids I had in car with me, he would haul my butt to the police station for making a U-turn.
My advice to all is, do not live in Chicago or any big city.
Why do you think the type of broken windows policing you are describing would specifically target minority communities because of race and not the more sensible reasoning being that members of those communities are more likely to be victimized and need more police presence?
Sounds like a computer error. Happens all the time.
Most encounters with police regardless of race end up how you claim. Had you behaved like many people who get shot by police do it could have ended up worse, but it sounds like you behaved civilly.
One Chicago cop told me, if it werent for the 5 kids I had in car with me, he would haul my butt to the police station for making a U-turn.
That's because of the license coming up invalid, which many times means it's a fake ID. A common ploy by people with serious warrants to disguise who they are. The cop took it easy on you, probably because of the kids not because of your skin color.
Blue cities tend to be a pain in the ass that way. I agree with the advice, but I usually end up living in major cities anyway.
Did you notice how native Americans were the most disproportionately to be shot by police?
Wouldn't a more sensible thing to conclude be that native Americans are more likely to see police as an invading force and be uncooperative?
It's not a conspiracy to genocide indians.
Nor is it a conspiracy theory to genocide whites who are more likely to be shot in police interactions than blacks once you adjust the statistics for shootings per interaction.
I didnt say anthing about "police presence". Your off on a seperate tangent.
not been repeatedly hassled by police for minor stuff repeatedly, as may happen in some communities more
The eyes dont lie. The license was valid visually and should have gone no further. Period
I stated nothing about "conspiracy " ergo, you again have gone off and even more irrelevant tangent, to my comments. My thoughts about you as right-wing are panning out.
- I dont have nor read all of the statistics. I would place you lower on the people I would trust with such information in around all of the above, not just one particular set of considerations
I didnt say anthing about "police presence". Your off on a seperate tangent.

Also while we are at it, cashiers should not use counterfeit pens on large bills since things are always precisely what they look like and zero people commit fraud
Repeat what premises I clarified of yours before stating that so you can see why I equated the conclusions you drew from your premises was silly.
It's the first result on Google. You should have read all of these studies I am citing off the top of my head before forming a conclusion to make sure ideology doesn't guide you coming up with convenient rationalizations

> ebuc: I didnt say anthing about "police presence". Your off on a seperate tangent.Again, I did not say anything about "police presence" and certainly not in context you did. Your playing mind games.

Indigenous Americans are the most disproportionately shot by police because there is systemic racism in the system
indigenous Americans aren't enough of the population to get any mobilization behind them. It's the same reason there is missing indigenous American women that go missing all the time and nothing is done
Also, in regard to the idea that there isn't a conspiracy to genocide all indigenous Americans, I would argue that it hasn't been a conspiracy since "kill the Indian, save the man" was policy
What do you mean by systematic racism?
' Rumble ' good movie on systemic racism of native american indians.Its on Netflix. I dont remmber ever hearing of the man Rumble, but once I heard him play that chord, I'm like oh yeah, you dont forget that sound, that was systemically not given air time in USA radio outlets.
People of color is the browning of humanity. Get used to it whitey's.
Yeah, there are barriers because indigenous Americans are less likely to trust government institutions. I wonder why. On top of that, the state is essentially ignoring these issues. There isn't attempts to solve this problem as a pervasive issue.
GOT ONEI would argue that white people think of indigenous Americans, especially those on the reservation, as a secondary class. This is proven in the amount of violent crime done to them, lack of social resources at a governmental level, and police killings. The phrase got one was the story of two guys in a truck, driving down the road, and threw an axe at an indigenous woman running away. Upon hitting her, they yelled got one. Indigenous Americans are put to the periphery and I can give you more personal, anecdotal, historical, or legal examples if you want.
Edit: The fact that this conversation of police shooting is focusing on black Americans, you bring this up about indigenous Americans, and this issue isn't discussed is itself proof.
... "browning of American or Europe",...
