Its also accidentally anti-police if you think about it In the attempt to illustrate that police kill more whites than blacks, apparently 3% of all white people killed in a year were at the hands of law enforcement. Thats a problem! Out of curiosity I checked. The total number of police related shooting deaths in 2015 was 965 (through December 24 of that year, but eh lets just assume no one was shot and killed that final week): https://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2015/12/26/a-year-of-reckoning-police-fatally-shoot-nearly-1000/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.bd8f2db64c8b The total number of all homicides was 15,696 (https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2015/crime-in-the-u.s.-2015/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/murder). I do not believe police related homicides are in there, because that is just "murder". If you check the chart it doesn't list police related as one of the categories, so I'm going to assume no: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2015/crime-in-the-u.s.-2015/tables/expanded_homicide_data_table_10_murder_circumstances_by_relationship_2015.xls Which means that there were 965 police related shootings in a total of 16,661 deaths (murder + police shootings). That is roughly 5.8% of homicides, so that number is likely low on that racist chart! Someone can correct me if I made a mistake in the data somewhere! I linked a lot of police shooting case numbers recently when I was debating the overblown case of cops killing excessively. I can't remember the exact numbers. I can probably pull them up off of GAF though if it interests you. Oh, I'm not saying any of these were unjustified. It was just "people killed by cops". I'm not assigning blame for any of them in that post. That racist meme said "number of whites killed by cops was 3%" which, going by the actual statistics, is probably low! I just wanted to see what the actual numbers were. The trap I sort of meant was. Let's say Infowars posts a bunch for articles you like. You reshare them. Then one comes up like this and you reshare it because you reshare all their other shit. That is the trap I mean. Not saying this of course happened in this case here precisely. --- LoL ID = imajericho XBL GT = Corrik <cite>Corrik posted [p:902206107] in Politics C...
