I asked to point it out to you that it is your answers (unless mine are unfairly removed like the above) that get removed when you come on here all guns blazing. Maybe you need anger management treatment?

2015

502 white,
250 were black
163 were Hispanic/Latino
18 were Asian/Pacific Islander
13 were American Indian
54 were other/unknown

There are many statistics that should be taken into account if you have an agenda you just want to highlight the figures that suit.

The problem with all the stats (whichever source they come from) is that you are rarely comparing like with like.

The only useful figure would be the difference in the chances of getting shot across a range of different ages/sexes/ethnicities who were all behaving in exactly the same way in their interaction with the police .

Which figure is impossible to produce - so we are back to skewed reporting, cherry-picked statistics and the agenda of whichever news machine produces the report.

It appears that young black men are more likely (per capita) to get shot - but how much of that can be laid at the door of their societal upbringing and attitudes, rather than racist/corrupt police?

Every black victim is suddenly a saintly, church going, polite young man in the eyes of his community - is this likely?

I have no idea of the answer - just that the problem is probably not as simple as "racist cops shoot too many blacks"

Sensible post SD. Not what I thought I was going to read.

...which is biased.

Biased in favour of whom?

Answerprancer

The extreme left.

It may appear embarassingly gauche but am I the only one who didn't find the picture terribly striking? It's a powerful image but I wouldn't have it down as a contender for a Pulitzer Prize or even the shortlist.

It's ok, but mine was better ;-)

...wasn't it, Mick? ;-)
