Do you have any statistics? How many cops have gone to jail? How many blacks attacked a cop, before being shot? How many didn't follow orders to raise their hands, and acted threatening? Every case is different.

@GunSmoke9 We don't really need any, we already know that whites are killed by police at 3 times the rate of blacks, but that in itself doesn't tell the whole story. Every time a black is killed by police we get to hear all about it, for weeks and weeks. And we know that it is extremely rare for the killing to NOT be justified. It isn't racist for the police to exercise self defense. And that's all we need to know.

@katielass What annoys me is when they keep bringing up Ferguson as an example of a cop killing a black. Michael Brown was a thug who attacked a cop. If they want to make their point, they need better examples then Michael Brown.

@Celine That's an incident not a statistic. Statistics involve hard numbers. The hows and whys of it all.
