3.25 per million blacks have been killed this year by cops and 1.41 per million whites. So, it does sound a bit fucked up. Also if you compare the % people in prison for blacks vs. whites, those too reveal the same trend. So there might be something there. Where there is smoke....
And what the ones in jail are being punished for too.
We had a white rapist, the Stanford rapist (can't remember what his name is), he's getting 6 months in jail of which he'll only serve 3, for RAPE... and you've got thousands of black and/or Hispanic men in jail serving years, sometimes life even, just for drug offenses.
If this shit doesn't tell people that privilege (both wealth and race) are realities in America, I don't know what will.
So why don't we go down there and get 4 of "them"?

Exactly, exactly.

There is no way your numbers are accurate. What is the source?

Why? Because it doesn't fit into your pre-conceived notions? Been living in a bubble, haven't we? Guardian Newspaper published it. Go look it up.

Yeah I just checked the Guardian...you're numbers are still off by millions.
