Your statement begs the question, why isn't there more discussion about the killing of AAs.  Per the FBI, in 2012 there were 6500 blacks killed.  Black homicide constitutes 50% of all homicides.

Yet, there are scant forums about this atrocity. Why is this? (rhetorical question)

If you don't like my thread, write your own. Mine deals with the number of people killed by police. Race isn't the issue here.

Wheels come off your track again? I put down a thread that isn't about racist cops, just killer cops, and you oppose me. Don't sweat it, I'll post a few about racist killer cops just to make you happy ...

I love watching you squirm when things don't go your way. Again, racist cops (Baltimore's accused out of 6 are 50% black) kill fewer than black on black crime. I don't see your protest threads on that.

 In 2015 42 killed in line of duty, eight were killed by gunfire.  Compare that to the hundreds shot to death, choked, tasered to death, or who had their spinal cords severed by your heroes.

Cops get up every day and put themselves in dangerous situations to protect the likes of you and me. To me that's a hero. Are there some bad apples - of course.  But I don't paint with a broad brush.

So glad you admit that virtually everyone killed by police were justifiable.

For you to say that the races of who was killed by whom, is "irrelevant" simply shows your racism....  Not at all surprising.  You show you have no desire for a solution.  That, we already knew.

Sadly your hatred blinds you again to the FACTS.  Please look back, I was the first to post and say that the spinal injury to that prisoner was wrong and needed to be investigated.  Regardless of his record or that he was carrying an illegal weapon.  He was under arrest and in the custody of police.  He should not have been injured.

It would help immeasurably if the good ones spoke out against the bad, but the good ones apparently are cowards when it comes to speaking out for justice.

I don't disagree with this statement.  But, it struck me as to how it could be said pertaining to, for instance, the inhabitants of cities like Chicago, where civilian killings are rampant. Don't you agree?

I never said that any of the cop killing of civilians was justifiable -- I said they "were found" justifiable -- as you well know, very few cops are ever indicted or prosecuted for murdering civilians.  

the issue wasn't about race, it is about the number of civilians gunned down by police.  Too bad you're comprehension level has slipped so far.

As for Grey's "illegal" weapon, the State says it was legal and the city says it was not.  The issue still has to be adjudicated.-- [/quote

So how many were justifiable shootings?  Come on, HOW MANY.

I have also NEVER said that the death of Freddie Gray was justifiable because he was carrying an illegal knife.  You wrote the following: " Please look back, I was the first to post and say that the spinal injury to that prisoner was wrong and needed to be investigated. Regardless of his record or that he was carrying an illegal weapon."

Race DOES make a difference since that is the primary issue.  Something which has gotten demonstrably worse since the inauguration of semi-retired President Obama.

If you're proud to post the number you have, why not post ALL THE FACTS?

Oh...right....
