I think your post would make more sense and would be easier to legislate if you took the word 'black' out of it entirely.

Exactly.

Its not a case of killing 'black' men. No. Its a case of killing suspected criminals.

Does that mean these crimes are in a predominantly 'black' populated area?

Sources and stats that show the police kill more black men than white.

Blanket statements like yours are unbelievable due to the lack of evidence.

Please quote some stats from credible, verifiable sources because I have seen contradictory evidence more than once. Meanwhile I will look up some myself.
In the last 4 years more white people than black have been killed by police.

what can politicians do so that

It is already against the law to kill( murder ) another person.

It is already against the law to take from people what belongs to them ( theft )

It is against the law to resist the police in the performance of there duties.

So what extra laws do you want?

Canarese on the police. A great idea as complaints against the police fall dramatically when people in an incident realise there behaviour and language will be part of the review of the complaint.

Well, that's not true.

Yes.........

Bull! See my post and link directly above.

It's amazing how many people cannot read.
I am asking the postcode to provide evidence for her allergations.

Minorities tend to fill civil service jobs moreso than whites.

So.... obviously you are assuming that all police are white...
WHY?

I don't know that many whites that are police. Most are some form of minority that I know.

In fact, the problem is that I CAN read.

If there are other ideas you want addressed, that's fair; but in the meantime the line I quoted was still incorrect and not above being put right. A claim of more whites being killed by police than blacks is false.

considering that the race of the victim was unknown in more than 25% of the cases suggests this isn't a good study for making claims

I would say it beats the OP hands down. You got a better study?

Here is a better statistic. Absolute numbers are deceiving. Black people are killed over twice the rate per million people in the US. I think there are many factors for this not just police racism but our society needs to find the real reasons.

Mainly by other black people. Yet the "peaceful protestors" seem determined not to notice that, on any Saturday in Chicago, there are more black people killed by other black people than there are black people killed by police in the whole of the US in an entire year.

So you did not even look at my link then. My link talks about police shootings not the general population. This has nothing to do with my point or statistic.

With that said, why do you think this is the case with the shootings in Chicago?
