Meanwhile, in other not-news because it's so commonplace, some 30 people were shot dead yesterday in the USA in murders, and another 60 shot dead other than murdered....

normiss 897 #9 April 21, 2015 Hey, in March, police shot and killed a black person every 21 hours. That's a 71% increase over the previous month. 47% of them were unarmed. Commonplace and all that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driver1 0 #15 April 21, 2015 If you're black, you get shot. If you're hispanic, you get run over by a cop car. There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coreeece 2 #16 April 21, 2015 normissNot sure why, ask the police departments that shoot them 4 times as often as other races. Well, maybe the majority of black people live more densely populated in areas where you're more likely to be shot by police in general... If that's the case, then the problem has more to do with demographics and the socioeconomic structure rather than police racism.Never was there an answer....not without listening, without seeing - Gilmour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cruelpops 0 #23 April 22, 2015 I bet people don't realize that Hispanics are not a separate race category in FBI statistics. That's right, they're lumped in with the white people. People love to spit out irrelevant statistics while ignoring factual evidence. According to the FBI, more than 80% of race crimes involve blacks committing crimes against white people. Al Sharpton sees a white cop kill a black guy and he wants all hell to break loose. But when 13 blacks are killed by blacks in Chicago over the weekend he doesn't say a goddamn word. As far as homicides by firearms, according to the FBI and the CDC, nearly 70% are committed by gangs. So let's cut through the bullshit and call it like it really is - we have a gang problem; fix that and then we can work on the opinionated race problem.
