The headline of the article is misleading.

“Police brutality against black people happens way less than public thinks”

That’s the headline but the story goes into detail on black people killed by police and not just brutalized.

Brutality takes on many forms and it is safe to say that it occurs more frequently against black people because they tend to live in the Democrat operated jurisdictions where the police hold civil rights in contempt. Some of the worst Democrat jurisdictions for police brutality against black people are in fact run by black Democrats.

Brutality can be a police beating on a handcuffed person, someone beaten and arrested for ‘resisting arrest’, and there’s many more examples of non-fatal police brutality available on You Tube.

The infinite circle powering this brutality is defined by the fact that black people do indeed tend to celebrate lawlessness. Therefore they’re easy targets for arrest by police who have to perform according to quotas (metrics) that consider a cop a failure unless he makes a certain number of arrests every month.

This situation leads to police making needless stops to demand ID or to write traffic tickets which the officers deliberately escalate into arrests because they need to make their metrics (quota) for the month.

Black people who don’t have lawyer friends are safe targets for this kind of abuse.

Now don’t think I’m a liberal as I am not. But I do believe that unless everyone is safe from police abuse then we don’t need police. I’d rather just have elected sheriff’s departments and then have Constitutional carry so everyone who wants to be armed can be armed with no interference from....the police.

Sure, just look at the cities where there were riots over the shootings, each ones that had such shootings, and those that didn’t. Not just democrat run cities, but long-term Democrat cities.
