Are Cons Coming to Terms With Racism in American Policing?

Isn't the problem their actions.. If a cop, be it one in a million is killing someone, they should be prosecuted...

To clarify do you mean any killing? That would be a pretty brutal position to be in as a cop to say if you are forced to kill someone to save yourself or others you will be prosecuted regardless. (my understanding is all police shootings are reviewed which is a good thing, that's different though than all police shootings being prosecuted)

I know nothing about you except what you show on this forum. So far I see a knee jerk left wing extremist fanatic trying to justify the unjustifiable.

I agree with you. Too many knee jerks condemning others before all the facts are in.

If they shoot a dangerous suspect, I would draw the conclusion that they meant to INTENTIONALLY KILL him; but that doesn't make it murder.

Murder is the intentional killing an innocent individual with malice and forethought. Police who serve in dangerous situations have to act instantly, without having to lift the tail to check for balls.

Also, as a Psychologist I have studied many of the issues which are so contentious today. The first thing I found was that only half or less of all claims of police brutality are phony, usually to sue to get money. Then we can note that even in some (even most) cases of police shooting a person that was some sort of militant violence as part of the problem.

What evidence troll? The studies about police violence? or that I am a psychologist? And of all people you don't deserve any proof. But just to show my good faith. the clamor over police brutality in the last few years just don't hold up to scrutiny. My study involved taking the number of claimed incidences from a anti cop anecdotal assertion and doubled them to ensure I erred on the side ignorant people like to believe, that police brutality. I took that number and divided the number of law enforcement officers and the stat comes out .5% of all cops (even assuming some of the claims are multiple claims against one cop) That leave 99.5% of all cops good cops.

Then we get to gun control. A 10 year study relative to guns in our society proved that their were 56% more guns at the end of the study, yet gun violence went down 49%. http://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/cnsnewscom-staff/more-guns-less-gun-violence-between-1993-and-2013

Also a Pew study: http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2013/05/07/gun-homicide-rate-down-49-since-1993-peak-public-unaware/

Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. The majority of these victims had a gun or "were armed or otherwise threatening the officer with potentially lethal force," according to Mac Donald in a speech at Hillsdale College. https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Imprimis_April16.pdf

Some may argue that these statistics are evidence of racist treatment toward blacks, since whites consist of 62 percent of the population and blacks make up 13 percent of the population. But as Mac Donald writes in The Wall Street Journal, 2009 statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15 percent of the population in these counties.

Now until you have something of value to say, don't bother me.
