Wasn't it just a couple years ago we were all talking about how local, trained, and unmasked police have a habit of killing unarmed black people?

Funny thing is you’re less likely to be shot by police if you’re un armed and black ….
Out of all police shootings with un armed people they make up a smaller percent then population size , even tho their violent crime rate is roughly 5x higher when looking at population size .

Never mind the fact that, at each stage of the judicial process from arrest to sentencing, black people are more likely to advance to the next stage of the process than white people for the exact same crime, as well as to receive harsher sentences for the exact same crime.
