Morphine Prince 109,648 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Following weeks of nationwide protests over a spate of police killings of Black people, President Donald Trump has claimed that “more white people” actually die at the hands of law enforcement. The president made the comment after appearing to briefly lose it when asked about the hot button topic in a CBS News interview. “Why are African-Americans still dying at the hands of law enforcement in this country?” host Catherine Herridge asked, prompting the president to immediately recoil. “So are white people. So are white people! What a terrible question to ask,” he huffed. “So are white people.” Studies have shown that Black men are about 3.5 times more likely than white men to die in police custody. White men were killed by the police in the highest numbers between 2013 and 2017, but white people account for a greater percentage of the U.S. population than Black people, according to a Harvard study.

weed 78,877 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 "So are white people" ok and even if it's true then WHY are they being KILLED by the POLICE? Instead of deflecting (he's a pro, wbk) maybe answer why the police love killing the citizens they signed up to protect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR 3,996 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 That statistic is not a very good one to use no matter what side of the argument you're on (there are too many variables affecting it). I spoke to my friends who are big on the BLM movement and they said that they are just using that statistic to push the message because it would take too long to have the whole conversation every time.

Renie 7,909 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 How about they just stop killing people period? And while we’re at it why don’t we put them behind bars? Why are so many of the cops guilty of killing the lives that have sparked the Black Lives Matter movement still walking the streets?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
