I always find the actual death stats almost moot.

I wouldn't mind seeing the numbers on accidently fell on their face, ribs and knees during overly aggressive profiled arrest stats.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
oh not deny that some police are extremely abusive in their treatment of people
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not aimed at you, not actually fully read the replies, just saw that video.

I loath quantifying life in percentages like that. Not only does it devalue those lives imo it also marginalises aee wider and arguably more important debate.

People did it with covid and more people died from flu or only 0.02% of people under 60 are effected.

Ahh my mistake. Thats fair enough i probably shouldnt have posted that video anyway as she ends up turning it into a media conspiracy

I do wonder if theres going to be a surge in covid cases in the coming weeks when people return to their homes

Candace’s whole point is that 16 isn’t much and it’s just a way to spin a narrative.

She is a troll.

The reality is so many other statistics that support racial profiling, inequalities and racial brutalities from the police etc.

The stat about % of black people is moot. If a thousand white people were shot and killed (very specific stat) the population % would be low but it would still be beyond unacceptable and worthy of protesting.

She has used a ridiculously small metric (what about injuries, or deaths by other forces, why does it matter that these people are armed if they are not shooting, etc). To basically invalidate the atrocities.

She panders to the right wing and subsequently to racists, and uses her platform because she is black - they want someone to validate their wrong and often racist opinions. She is a troll of the highest order and isn’t worth the oxygen she breathes in.

"We need to get rid of the idea of race - it is largely a social construct."

This...and there's a lot of POCs all over the world that don't see this part. I agree with the fight for equality and even reparations for hundreds, if not thousands of years of 'mistreatment' but with keeping the fight solely about race just defeats the purpose in the end and we'll continue to be stuck in this cycle...and those that benefit the most from all of this will just continue to benefit.

There's so many people that don't know just how deep this thing is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is how I see it. The way these slogans are engineered make it a them and us battle which is a tough sell. It needs to be a united front all for one, one for all to make headway.

The first response on that

"Candace I don’t get you. Im a Trump supporter, and I usually agree with you when it comes to these racial issues. But there is no other side to this story. You’re losing credibility with ppl like me when you refuse to ever side with the victim, even when obvious like this."

That lady is clearly looking for attention.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
that comment doesnt address what she said, she thinks unarmed people getting shot is horrific but that cops aren't going out executing people on mass <shrug>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not going into this again. As the original OP says, maybe read the again and again until you understand. If you can't then, sorry I help you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Everybody is looking for attention to what they believe, hence people protesting
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously? People are just protesting for attention and due to their belief? Not for injustices and equal treatment in society??

I saw it as just saying that cops aren't going around shooting people on mass (thats the narrative i feel some people are pushing, doesnt excuse the other bad stuff)

I already know they can be abusive in others way. My mistake really shouldnt have posted that video as i dont agree with it all anyway just a tiny part.

The US does feel a police state at times I have to say. I have lived here ten years and I have been stopped seven times on my own and a couple more times with the missus. In the UK I had about three interactions with police my whole life.

I also don't understand how this is extreme left political propaganda to get the black vote because this was not started by any political figure.

The video went viral on Twitter and black people are now protesting because they are fed up.

so shes a race tratior?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope.

Are you saying you expect all black people to have the exact same opinion? Nothing is absolute.

Probability dictates some tiny minority will disagree and sometimes consequently be exalted on other platforms for their unique opinion. Its all part of being human.

There's a difference between a kid in a classroom shouting at a bully and a kid randomly being noisy in a classroom for attention. If you don't know the difference, then sorry I can't help you. Mind you this is only an example.

As in it wasn't personal or directed at you, it was in a general sense in that people never have 100% consensus on such topics, more like 99.9%.

I use it as an aid for the mentally incapable (yourself) to form any decent response or counter-argument. It is my charitable cause, a ‘help an idiot’ freebie.
