As I pointed out to you in another post (the post listing the number of blacks and whites shot and killed by police), why is it that if blacks are 13% of the population but they're killed more frequently? Your previous post theory is at odds with this particular fact. Are we going to use the theory in your previous post or are we going to use an entirely different theory?

Also, since whites are the majority of the population why aren't unarmed white males being shot and killed with a higher frequency per capita?

well that sounds like a very sexist statement hill2016 Jul 2016 #6

"it's okay for them to be killed by the police" Please stop. I stop talking to people that purpose seabeyond Jul 2016 #21

The statistics are what they are but always need context to tell the whole story TeddyR Jul 2016 #38

The problem is we cant rely on it being "a handful" puffy socks Jul 2016 #39
