@vivify saidWould you really hear about it, my disillusioned friend? Prepare yourself.
If there are "many", we'd hear of it. U.S. media is mostly controlled by whites.
There are about TWICE AS MANY whites killed by police since 2017 as blacks. Fact.

I guess you don't believe me when I tell you the BLM will only protest the police killing of a black person.
Or that the white media will only go where there is a big story, WHERE BLM IS.
Society is being BRAINWASHED.

US media is controlled by whites alright, but they have an agenda, which is to sensationalize every story about blacks being wronged somehow, no matter how minor (even if the story turns out to be not true) while they intentionally ignore and bury every story about whites being attacked/robbed/raped/murdered by blacks.

@earl-of-trumps saidThere are fives times as many whites in the U.S. as blacks. So this means blacks are being killed at a higher rate.

On top of this, you didn't answer my question: how often are whites being killed on video while being nonviolent, with the cop not even being charged with a crime? You said there were "many" instances, yet provided none. That's telling.

@dood111 saidYou also don't hear about cops getting away with killing nonviolent whites on video from Fox News or other conservative outlets. Fox News would be screaming every night with examples if they could; but they're not because they can't.

@vivify saidI've never seen a video of a black "being non-violent" and getting killed either. They always initiate some kind of violent confrontation, then BLM cries about how they were just sweet little lambs..

@dood111 saidMinor physical resistance to an arrest does not justify the use of deadly force.

@no1marauder saidYou're right, it doesn't.
Minor physical resistance to an arrest does not justify the use of deadly force.
I've seen a few videos where that was the case, and the cop was always brought up on murder charges.

@dood111 saidNo 13% of the population doesn't commit 52% of the murders; there were, at most, 20,000 murders in the US in 2020, amounting to about .00006% of the population (if I used my calculator correctly).
I got a figure:
13% of the population commits 52% of the murders.
The racist idea that blacks are inherently more violent is a major contributing factor in excessive police violence.

There are fives times as many whites in the U.S. as blacks. So this means blacks are being killed at a higher rate.
EOT: For the love of Jeezus, man, we are talking raw numbers here, not RATES. Also, if blacks are
in trouble with the law more often *as a percentage*, it stands to reason there will be more incidents of death, as a %.
You are really playing the artful dodger with this line of reasoning, Vivify.

EOT: That is because the national media does not ever cover the killing of a white person by local police.
Now, I could waste my time and do some research but I can tell by your goal-post shifting approach that
you will never appreciate the truth and do everything you can to evade admitting that I made valid points.
Twice as many whites as blacks being killed by police. There is no way around that, try try try as you might.
Have a nice day.
@earl-of-trumps saidMeaning an individual black person has 2.5 times the chance of being killed by police as an individual white person in the US.

And any killings by police get major local media play as you surely know. Whether it becomes national news is usually reliant on whether there is a video, whether the officer is charged and other factors.
