Most people can take good quality video with their phones these days. Police should consider themselves under surveillance at all times.

out of 1,000,000 Americans, 3 will die each year at the hands of the police... 757 medical mistakes

how many of the mistakes were foreign doctors on Americans?

In every one of these cases and many others, the men who ended up dead resisted arrest, sometimes violently...exactly so - and every time we hear the same old lie that the police want to kill back people - but another fact that gets overlooked is that twice as may whites are killed by the police each year than are blacks, an astoundingly low ratio considering that blacks are the perpetrators in 70% of the shootings in this country, compared to 5% of whites who are perpetrators - pundits and politicians should hit the public with statistics like these every chance they get until reality starts to dawn on even the dullest.....

Proportionately cops kill far more White men than they do black men. The obvious conclusion to this is that cops need to start killing more blacks. Or fewer White people.

Another point: when blacks start addressing the fact that black people kill 90% of other black people, then I will start to give a care about the small small percentages of cops killing blacks.

Still another point: if you look at FBI statistics over the last 10 years you will see a decrease in the number of blacks shot by cops. Obviously this is a problem. Since crime and thuggery has increased, we can only conclude that not enough blacks are being shot as they commit most of the violent crimes in America.

America’s “anarchy” is only a prelude to a totalitarian crackdown by the Ruling Establishment. That was the intention all along.

Every time a black man is killed by police the community finds itself on the edge and the nation wonders if an inferno is about to erupt.

Why even bother to present facts? It should be clear by now these are purely politically motivated protests.

“700,000 police officers interact with Americans approximately 75 million times a year.”

On average, each officer interacts with an American every THREE DAYS? Must be lots of desk jockeys, administrators and back office people in the force.

The link: in New Mexico a suspect was conversing with a cop one moment and killing him the next.

Goes to a godaddy sign up.

The tragedy is that Blacks are urged to resist the police, which will only lead to more killings.

Consider this:

George Floyd was apparently killed by a police officer while reportedly resisting arrest. That police officer stands convicted of murder.

Daunte Wright was killed by a police officer while reportedly resisting arrest on an outstanding warrant for attempted robbery. That officer has been charged with manslaughter.

Ashlii Babbit was killed by a police officer while illegally in the Capitol building. That police officer not only faces no consequences, but we are not allowed to know the officer’s name.

See the difference?

Some interesting commentary on “The Social Construction of Racism in the Unite States,” from the Manhattan Institute, which I’m sure has been posted here:

https://www.manhattan-institute.org/social-construction-racism-united-states

The article mentions the “Tocqueville paradox,” which comes from Tocqueville’s observation on the French Revolution that it resulted from bettering and not worsening of conditions, since people who start to acquire power want more and are more able to exercise power. (my definition)

I’d also add to it the Thucydides Trap, which posits that a declining power creates instability and cause for aggression by that declining power in order to re-establish itself or avoid further decline.

I see these ongoing incidents as a paradoxical intersection of black socio-economic rise with a “Thucydides trap”-like Democrat party desperately promoting “racism” at every turn in order to sustain itself. Above all, the blacks who are subject to “systematic racism” and “police abuse” are those who are not party to that rise and are thus the objects of the Democrat agenda. Meanwhile, many of the more educated and economically successful blacks are engaging in the Tocqueville paradox by joining this “struggle” despite the fact that their social and economic conditions have / are improved.
