If whites committed at the same rate, there’d be 16 million white offenders. 

doesn't matter.

 

we're talking about police encounters.....and black people get killed 2.8x more in their police encounters than white people.

 

Even though white people would be encountering the police 2.5x more than blacks.

Actually, I’m glad you brought up 71%... whites make up 71% of the USA. 

 

but blacks make up 13% and account for the other 29% of crime..

 

hmmm ONE is disproportionate alright. 

Yeah............the killings.

 

You are essentially trying to MOVE THE SUBJECT to something else to try and make yourself feel better.

 

We are talking about THE CHANCE OF GETTING KILLED WHEN ENCOUNTERING A COP.

 

You are trying to move off that subject.

Whites have been killed 2x as many times as black people this year. 
 

again, similar, not disproportionate at all.

Because chances are, a black person is 2.3x as likely to be committing a crime when compared to a white person. Additionally, blacks rob and murder more, which causes them to be in situations where police would have to use physical force. 
 

again, nothing disproportionate except how often black people commit crime, really.

actually it is.

 

Because it should be a HIGHER RATIO, since whites commit 2.5 more crimes.

 

You JUST PROVED that whites committing crimes:whites getting shot during police encounters is less than a 1:1 ratio.

 

You just completely undermined everything you have been arguing for the past few pages.

Except white commit more crimes.

 

By a ratio of 2.5x

 

And no........police encounters occur for ALL CRIMES.

 

You are intentionally attempting to mislead by omitting this.

 

This was already debunked, its not working.

Are you saying j walking should warrant the same response as murder?

 

either way, blacks will be doing both of those things 30% of the time despite being 13% of the population

 

talk about disproportionate!

Blacks are 2x as likely to commit a crime, and violent ones at that. Blacks represent 50% of murders, which is why they’re like shot (although still less than white people) sometimes. 
 

play dumb games, win stupid prices my friend. 
 

only disproportionated stat is the 2.3x likelihood that a black person has committed a crime.

Yes........because you ENCOUNTER A POLICE OFFICER in either instance.

 

We are talking about getting shot because of people encountering police and the police officer committing brutality.

 

It is not restricted to "violent crimes" being committed because alot of these police killings of blacks occurr during REGULAR TRAFFIC STOPS.

 

Is a regular traffic stop a VIOLENT OFFENSE????????????

 

Nope.

 

But it falls under ALL CRIMES.

 

Therefore we must look at ALL CRIMES.

 

Notice how logical that is?

Fact.

 

Not "more likely".........we are talking about something that has and is occuring.

 

That means white people have 2.5x more encounters with the police.

 

Yet blacks have a 2.8x time more likelihood of getting shot during those police encounters, even though white people have 2.5x more police encounters.

 

There's no way you're escaping those numbers.

No, a lot of these killings don’t happen in normal traffic stop. 
 

floyd and Blake were both resisting arrested. Their deaths were 100% avoidable if they simply didn’t resist arrest. 


should it have happened? No, and I want better training. But it’s as simple as cause and effect, a concept 3 year olds can grasp.

There's no way you're escaping those numbers.

You are combining ratios and raw numbers. You lose either way. Whites are murdered by police more, and blacks, on average, are likely to commit 2.3x as much crime.
 

You’ve lost all 3 hands you’ve attempted, now.

YYYYYYyyes they do.

 

There's plenty of them at local traffic stops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You do not get to dismiss which crimes you want.

 

Statistics gathering does not work that way.

Nope..........you are intentionally SWITCHING between ratios and raw numbers based on how it helps your argument.

 

Which is disingenuous and misleading.

 

I include ALL INFORMATION.

 

You are not running away from these numbers. Plain and simple.

I watched 10 seconds of the first one. Dude had liquor on his floorboard, didn’t have his license, shut the door when the cop asked him to get out, and attempted to speed away. 
 

yeah, I’d say that’s not a “normal traffic stop”. Again, should have never got to that point and the cop should be charged here, but what if this dude was hammered (no idea if he was or not) but he could have easily went driving and killed a family of 4. 
 

again, bad cop, made worse by a shitty individual who simply resisted what the officer was asking for.

I’m doing exactly what you’re doing. Want to pick one, and I’ll own you using just that??

 

what is it? Raw numbers, or ratio?

Doesn't matter......its not a violent offense.

 

Why are you always trying to CHANGE THE SUBJECT, and not directly responding???????

 

You are doing this quite a bit.

 

The subject here is..........WE COUNT ALL CRIMES to COUNT ALL POLICE ENCOUNTERS.

 

Looks like you're not arguing against this, therefore, its not up for dispute.

 

We count ALL CRIMES. Period.

Nope.i use BOTH

 

You, purposely avoid raw stats in other places and ratios in other places, as it suits your argument.

 

Ratios provide context for raw numbers.
