Whoops, I misread that source and I'm not even sure where I got that number from. It's out of 990, but black deaths at the hands of police officers are still a good 10% higher than their population segment. The white and the hispanic population (though there is potentially some differences between the self reported versus what the pathologist determines when it comes to hispanics) are on the same level as their population percentage. Still an alarming disparity.

Yeah was pretty sure it was wrong tbh.

I remember doing the math and being like "goddamn, how have I not heard this number before?"

Thanks for making me double check.

It's called solidarity. People around the world join in when there are tragedies. When the I am charlie thing happened in Paris. People in NYC held vigils for it. Same thing with Orlando recently with the Pulse club massacre. People around the world joined in to show support. It happens all the time regardless of if it is happening in their neck of the words. It's called empathy and compassion. Guess you wouldn't know anything about that.


Hilarious from the number one sheeple alive. You know there are more whites and hispanics in this country than there are blacks right? So percentage-wise it is still a big deal. Also why can't the both be addressed? Why do you need to separate the two. Too hard to address all issues as once?

:clap:

Even though the number was off slightly this point still stands.

The actual number is 26% for anyone wondering how much "slightly" is :D.

Yeah, but theirs a pretty big difference when having a vigil vs having a protest. I'm all for solodarity, but protesting something that has nothing to do with the country your in is just dumb.

*there's
*you're

Dumb Brits, trying to call attention to an issue that's not even in their own country. I mean, who gives a **** about anywhere outside of a five mile radius of themselves?

Ftfy

I mean, sure, if you want to ignore what protest aims to accomplish.
