A new study yielded some unexpected results about racial bias in police shootings.
While black people are more likely than white people to be touched, handcuffed, thrown against a wall, pushed to the ground, and have weapons pointed at them by the police, the study found no evidence of racial bias in situations where police fire their guns at civilians.

Is there racism against black people? Yup. But as far as this (now false) narrative of cops running around unjustly shooting african americans, it's simply another lie, made up bullshit. Black people are not killed by cops any more than white people are.

Desh, these are facts.

your question is pedantic and idiotic. First the study is about police killing others, not people killing police. Second a sample size of 5 during a recent event would hardly skew the sample. You are a mouth breather, please do not come near me anymore. I do not tolerate morons like yourself in my presence.

There is racism against blacks. There is police brutality. The racialist hacks are determined to mix the two together.

Basically, police brutality has been racialized by the left. When a white cop kills a black person it's prima facie evidence of racism---to them. In other words, it's a racist motive until proven otherwise. And good luck proving otherwise.

The left whines incessantly about how un-American Trump is but they should clean up their own house first; because that's about as in-American as it gets.

in-American lol?
 
Every dictionary definition I can find disagrees with you.

Please post the definition you see.

Why do some people call capitalism racist? If your dictionary definition was correct race would have nothing to do an economic system right?
 
Cite what? This country was partly founded on an economic system of slavery. Is it white privilege to not know economics and race are intertwined?

That's a stretch. Slavery existed at the founding, but from the moment of the founding there was a movement to disentangle ourselves from it.

It became symbolic of a regional dispute more than an economic one. The subsequent share cropping system proved more economically beneficial to landowners than did slavery.

Were the landowners economic illiterates before emancipation? Why did they resist emancipation?

Not for economic reasons.

There has already been criticism of this report stating that he extrapolated from limited data.
 
The reality is that leftists only care about this issue because they are trying to gin up black turnout in this election. They don't care about dead black people or you would hear the gnashing of teeth over the hundreds of black murders at the hands of other blacks that occur each and every day. Unfortunately the left has built this narrative of "racist" cops and have hoodwinked poor blacks to act in ways that are not in their best interests. The truth of the matter is that blacks commit crimes at a higher rate relative to their population so of course they are going to be over represented in interactions with the police. Mathematically many of these cities are predominantly black so there will always be more black deaths. Liberals will just dismiss these FACTS as racist. But one simple way to know how full of shit lefties are when it comes to black people is where liberals CHOOSE to live. Do you see any JPP liberals living in these predominantly black neighborhoods? Hell naw you don't. Yet they have the nerve to sit behind a keyboard yelling racist at everyone who dares disagree with them.

I have said for years that the democrat party has done with welfare what they could never accomplish when they founded the KKK. They have decimated the black community and sentenced generations to a lifetime of dependence and misery. I only hope and pray that one day blacks will wake up to the fact that the democrat party that they have believed if for so long has sold them out

Rune, how come we often read about wealth broke down by different races?

You can throw gender in there as well as how often do we hear that women earn $0.77 on the dollar compared to men. Does your dictionary definition say anything about that?
