Study shows no bias in deaths regarding police action

No, the topic is a study which reports the use of force by police

We are not moving the goal posts. The protests, the Dallas shooter are all about police killings and the perception that they are disproportionately affecting African Americans. The reality is that it is not. If you want to talk about use of none lethal force, start another thread.

The study shows that there is no bias against blacks in police shootings. It doesn't exist. If anything, white people are more likely to be shot. But it wasn't statistically significant enough to make that claim.

We are victims of a media narrative that is designed to drive up ratings and create political bias. Don't fall for it. The reality doesn't follow the narrative.

Ok, for the sake of conversation, let's say this is true and objective. There is no racial disparity. Fine.

It still doesn't discount that bogus actions and even killings don't happen. And since they do, we should still be vigilant and prosecute the individual officers who perpetrate it.

If anything, more whites should get in on the action of lawsuits and settlements.

I've got my posters straight. You're the one who speculated, and then claimed you were going to wait for the trial and actual evidence



That is speculation; not actual evidence.

Meanwhile, the officer's own lawyer says the reason he shot the victim was because of the presence of a gun. There was no mention of the victim reaching for a gun.

Most lawyers would rather a trial occur in the courtroom, but wanted to clear up the baseless wild ass accusations of racism being thrown at his hispanic client.

Who says they don't?


That **** just isn't front page news, because lets face it, the media has a race war to start.

I made no accusations. I merely asked you, who says he'd rather wait for a trial, why you posted a claim you can't back up.

Still haven't heard you answer that question, either

My god you have no ability to follow a logical pattern in conversation.

You bring up the article where the cop's lawyer speaks out, then that that I claimed YOU made the accusations when I was talking about the LAWYER CLEARING UP THE GENERAL PUBLIC ACCUSING HIS CLIENT OF RACISM.


You are being hard headed, playing a silly childish semantics game. Again I stated that the officer claimed "I TOLD HIM NOT TO REACH FOR IT" all loud and screaming like, in the very same facebook live broadcast by the female passenger in the vehicle at the time of the shooting. If you want to play the silly game of, BUT HE DIDN'T STATE TO REPORTERS DIRECTLY THAT THE MAN REACHED FOR HIS WEAPON SO NAY NAY NE BOO BOO. Go ahead, Look stupid.

I am personally done with this **** with you.

This is a weird set of statements. On one hand, yes, we need to be vigilant about anything our government does. On the other hand, no, we shouldn't file a law suit just to satisfy some crazy ideal. I'm not even sure what you are trying to say. I don't think litigation is the answer every time an officer is less than cordial. On the other hand, if someone is actually abusive, then yes something should be done. But the percentage of abusive officers is so minute I don't think this should even be a national issue.
