Stop resisting arrest? Stop fighting the police when confronted, whether your wrong or right, whether you did the/a crime or not? Let’s start with those two, kkthx.

Liberals routinely say that more white people than black are on welfare. When per-capita statistics are pointed out to them, they wave it off and accuse you of splitting hairs and playing games with statistics.

MSM = All racism all the time.

After all, it's the only issue the dems have to keep their slaves in line.

It was very clear from President Trump’s comment that he was referring to absolute numbers, not race-specific population percentages.

3% of the population commits 58% of all murders, a majority of violent assaults and robberies.

Yeah, they're much more likely to have an encounter with police and much more likely it will end violently.

Trump said the words that are forbidden for a Republican. “White people”. He said it a few times. Third Rail status: touched.

“the rate at which Black people are shot and killed by law enforcement is twice as high than that of white people.”

No surprise here. Blacks commit a disproportionate amount of the crime. That’s the dirty little secret the MSM won’t talk about.

More whites are killed because there are more white people.

Difference in rate is actually minimal. 2 fold with regard to killed. With regard to percent of population we’re looking at n divided by 300 million vs 2n divided by 300 million.

“more white people by the way, more white people”

What the President said is literally true without the statistical quibbles provided by NBC.

“...asked why Black Americans are still dying at the hands of law enforcement. ...”

The correct answer is because black people commit more crime. The way to reduce police shootings is to reduce crime. That should be the focus of the discussion. How do we reduce crime in the black community??

The Wash Post database (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/) tracks fatalities at hands of police since 2015. If you look a unarmed people not fleeing the scene (I assume that includes not resisting arrest?), 55 were black, 91 were white.

That, actually, was the perfect answer for him to give. He put the onus back on the media to prove their thesis - which cannot be done, because it is false.

And the rate of criminal behavior among blacks is at least 5 times as much as whites.

If your in a stolen vehicle with a stolen handgun, a baggie of meth and you’re panicking, best case outcomes are few.

The WP database is designed for propaganda. How violent are these arrests? That needs to be taken into account.

“Why are black people still being killed at the hands of the police?”

Asked as if there are NO justifiable reasons for blacks to be killed by police. The question is absurd and irrational. When you try to kill or seriously injure a cop they have a right to use deadly force you whether you are white or black.

Why doesn't NBC reporters ever ask why so many blacks are committing a disproportionate amount of crimes? And why do so many think they can fight with the police? Causing altercations that put police lives at risk? Wouldn't those be pertinent questions to the issue?

Cooperation with police is an important piece of the puzzle here, and when you're caught committing crimes, then the jig is up, they put their own lives in jeopardy when they try to harm cops. Cops can't read minds and know if they're going to get killed by a crazed perp or not, so bad things can and will happen. It kinda' surprisingly doesn't happen even more often.

Sad, but true.
