Knew he'd be white, they weren't going to shoot him even if he killed one of them. Cops are more likely to shoot white people than black people but ok... Not true. Truth is we don't know and can only go by anecdotal evidence, which is obviously not reliable. Edit: I take back my first sentence. It may or may not be true. We have no way of knowing. Wrong. The FBI literally collects the info on all police involved shootings which includes sex and race of suspect. They then post it online. It's not anecdotal evidence and there is a way of knowing by simply looking at the list and seeing more w/m are shot by police than b/m. Wrong because raw numbers do not compare the actual circumstances of the shooting. Nice try, though. BillyKidd posted... If you want to collate through all the cases and figure where each person lived, go right ahead. That's not what the statements I was replying to were referring to. End of the day, 445 white men were shot by police in 2016, while 223 black men were that same year. Oh LOL wow you weren't even taking proportions into account. --- David Mink.
