the simple fact is, the facts do not and never have supported blackliesmatter's claim that it happens to blacks more. 60% of the deaths by cop are white, 26% are black. that is a fact. it can't be denied. so we can put to bed that false narrative.
yes, cops need better training, without a doubt. they also need continued training. they need mandatory sabbaticals. and on the negative side they need REAL punishment when they fuck up- as few jobs have the stakes their's has. i was a RN and when we fuck up, there is swift and harsh punishment. you fuck up real bad and they take your license and you are never a nurse, EVER AGAIN. the same needs to happen w them.
i'm not smearing the victim, i'm stating facts. if said facts happen to be negative, should we just ignore them and not discuss them?
