Haha... Out of curiosity, did you bother to check any of that? Or do you take everything Trump tweets as the gospel?

Those were rhetorical questions.

This is what I also read. You could say that white people dont care about white lives as well. But, what are the ratios of violent crimes for each race? Blacks make up about 14% of the population. Do they committ more than 14% of mirders and violent crimes? Quite a few whites have also been killed by police this year, but it is disproportionately higher for blacks. Is this because of racism or could it be that black communities committ more crimes and are therefore exposing themselves to more interaction with police and being killed at a disproportionately higher rate because of this?

Oh, I think most rational people would acknowledge that black people generally have higher interactions with police because they commit more crimes, so that would put a higher probability of black people being subject to unnecessary police brutality than other races.

That's too bad because the actual numbers are still really, really bad.

Or they could not want to be caught or arrested and flee, fight, or attempt to kill or injure the person trying to do their job. Police are so mean darn it...... just be happy you don't have to deal with the scum they do. If it is me I would rather go home alive then choose wrong in a split second decision and end up dead.

Of course all the police are mean stories tend to follow the same script, fleeing, running, fighting, resisting arrest, attempting to kill or injure a cop is STILL a REALLY bad idea, DUH!

Yeah, not only that but carbon dioxide based global warming is really kicking their asses. It has caused the growth of fatherless black children.
