Dallas Backlash, Multiple Officers Killed

Violence on either BLM side unfortunately will just further set in stone the stereotype that cops need to weary of their safety when it comes to black people. They should practice what they're trying to preach and show not all blacks are criminals and they should realize not all cops are killing blacks for little reason. In addition they need to realize that while not publicized many whites are likely killed in a similar manner.

This is why I absolutely hate the media. Media is to blame for the tension that causes an event like this to occur. Media puts out propaganda to make black people believe they are the only ones being victimized by police brutality. As of this post there have been 279 white people killed by police since the start of 2016 compared to 137 black people. So why do we not see these white killings on the media? I bet most people can name 7 black victims but not even 1 white victim (me included) because the media is swarmed with Black Lives Matter. Yeah obviously there are more white people in the US so more white people are going to die. Per million white and per million black, there are 1.41 deaths and 3.25 deaths respectively. At first that seems like a pretty big difference but keep in mind (statistics from 2013 but still probably somewhat relevant) black people had homicide as the 5th leading cause of death at 4.5%. White people didn’t even have homicide ranked (the last ranking was 1.9% for chronic liver disease which would mean homicide would be below 1.9% anyway). Obviously a cop is going to be more on guard knowing statistically black people are more violent. If black people want to stop police brutality against them they need to stop killing themselves first otherwise police will always be guarded knowing statistically there is a higher chance of them being violent. Shit like this where cops are killed because of tension created by the media definitely does not help their cause. Now police will be even more guarded and tense. Black people aren’t going to stop police brutality against them by protesting — they are going to stop it by not killing each other.

Very well-written and well backed. You made a strong point without having to use ad hominem attacks to support your arguments. Most people when trying to present statistics like these use inherently racist remarks, but this was a good read.

Thanks for the useful info!
