-403 white suspects were killed by police
-24 were unarmed
-205 black suspects were killed by police
-14 black suspects were unarmed
-5.9% of white suspects killed were unarmed.
-5.6% of black suspects killed were unarmed.
The narrative that cops are racists gunning down black men is wrong. Black deaths are just in the media while white deaths aren’t. All the deaths are sad. But pushing this false agenda is just causing more division and chaos and that is needless and sad.

Sounds like you are an expert in statistics to try and convince yourself of false messages...now remember to divide by the fact that 13.4% of the US is black and 63% is white (~2.5X). Based on your own math - If you are a black man, you are 5X as likely to be shot as a black man than if you were white.
All of this disregards the discussion that we should be having which is that black's in the US and aboriginals in Canada are not born/hardwired to be criminals. How do we solve the problems in these communities and how do we fix the biases throughout the system that continue to treat them as such when they are not. I am always amazed by the entitlement of people that have done nothing except having the luck of being born into the right family...
