I constantly remind the people who think we have a problem with police killing
minorities in this country of 330 million people there are 700,000 cops who interact with civilians an estimated 3 million times a day, so the average of police using deadly force 3 times a day is minuscule. Also most people killed were resisting arrest with violence and had long police records. The liberal retort is one killing is one too many and I am victim blaming by bringing up the long rap sheets many of them had. Do these people think a cop should put himself and those he pledged to protect in extreme danger to bring in a known violent criminal resisting arrest, without a scratch on them.
I could have missed it in the article but "unarmed" black men have also rammed police cars and tried to run over police in stolen cars. I like how cars are considered a weapon when piloted by a drunk driver, but not when a criminal is trying to harm police officers with it.
