The police fatally shot twice as many unarmed white people (19) than black (9) in 2019. Despite the facts, everyone just acts like it’s the truth. Do facts just not matter? [link to twitter.com (secure)] Your data points (assuming they are factual) work against your conclusion. The USA is 60% white and only 13% black. You would need a 5x-6x over-representation of whites in order to make that argument. I get your broader point about the media. It's psychological warfare. |

Based on that, if they're shooting 7/10ths of a person for each percent of the population - They should be shooting at least 50 white people a year for it to be even. |
