President Biden claimed that Derek Chauvin's conviction on Tuesday "ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism" of police. With the police shooting that same day of 16-year-old girl in Columbus, Ohio, the White House again pushed the racism claim, noting that this was just another example of how "police violence disproportionately impacts Black and Latino people."
But where is the evidence for these claims? In Chauvin's trial, the prosecution never once mentioned evidence that the now-former officer is racist. A day after the verdict, the Biden administration announced plans for a pattern-or-practice investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department to determine if there is such racism, but the administration’s comments sure sound as if they have already determined the study’s outcome.
In the other case, body camera footage released by police revealed that Ma'Khia Bryant was fatally shot as she charged another girl with a knife. The officer shot one black girl in an attempt to save what appears to be another black girl from being stabbed.
Politicians such as Biden as well as the media have helped create a biased perception that is far from the reality of shootings by police. In a study, the Crime Prevention Research Center (where I serve as president) found that when a white officer kills a suspect, the media usually mention the officer's race. When the officer is black, news coverage rarely mentions that detail. . . .

What a country...
Just how long should an officer wait for backup though before responding to a call? There would soon be complaints that they wait too long for backup if the person(s) being threatened is black.
Black Lives Matter is composed primarily of abortion-addicted white women who are government school teachers, social workers or attorneys with student loan debt that dwarfs their annual pay, and they are pissed off about it.

Data? It’s a religious cult doctrine.
There were four officers around Floyd when he died. Three or four around Wright when the officer shot him. Two or three involved in the incident that led to the shooting in Chicago. And one officer in Columbus where the shooting seems to have been entirely justified.
