Chris Cuomo: Police reform won't happen until 'white people's kids start getting killed'

52. The police DO shoot a lot of white people

Each year the police kill somewhere in the neighborhood of 400-500 white people by gunshot. It varies, but that's often more than every other race combined. Non-white races are shot in numbers disproportionate to their share of the population, but it's disingenuous to suggest that white people aren't being killed in huge numbers by the police annually.

The same excessive force and corruption can be levied in many of these shootings such as:

So yeah, white peoples kids are being shot and killed, but that doesn't seem to be moving the needle either.
