This is a great way to get people to notice what is happening in today’s world. You stated factual evidence and supported your claim. I don’t see many people doing this right now either so thanks for jumping on it!

A lot of this information is accurate, but misleading. “Black Americans are over 2.3 times more likely to be shot and killed by cops than White Americans.” While that may be true, the difference is 0.00165 of a percent. That difference is so incredibly tiny, that it’s hardly even worth mentioning. That information also makes it sound like a game of Russian roulette when in reality it doesn’t work that way. Police don’t go around shooting random people, so unless you instigate a conflict with a police officer, the chances of being shot by an officer are next to nothing. If you comply with officers, don’t try to fight them, don’t resist arrest or detainment, you’ll be just fine.

i think the police is getting away with too much. it should be no reason why the ratings is up too high.

Great article! People really need to see just how much systematic racism actually does exists. I hope people end up reading this. It’s so sad to see how corrupt our system is. 🙁
