I can safely ignore your demand. Agree with you, they are targeted more and arrested at an unfair rate. Shot a higher percent than white people. But I dont think telling your child you may get shot if the police stop you is rational advice. In 2016 2.2 million black people were arrested, and somewhere around 240 were killed. So around .00011% chance of being killed by a cop after being stopped. I have to imagine several that were arrested didnt comply, yet were arrested and not killed. Obviously police brutality needs to stop, and cops need to be held accountable. But shouldnt be spreading fear that every cop is going to kill a poc if they get pulled over. Edited to add something else. Around one hundred plus cops get killed each year and theres around 700,000 cops. Around a 1000 civilians get shot by cops each year, and theres over 300 million civilians. --- "Running twice as fast to stay in the same place" -Faith No More ... Copied to Clipboard! |
