Oh I read the article since you kept talking about it. It's biased. Clearly written to defend cops.

It's broad and general. Based on polls.

There are many articles and studies that further break down those stats. Accounting for differences based on state, precincts, neighborhoods, and crime rates, and socio-economic factors inside those neighborhoods. Inner-city people from Memphis will give you completely different data, based on a poll, than say, an all-white city in Connecticut, and that matters.

But better than that, there are studies and research that provide so much more in-depth data and stats. Based on not just asking people, but monitoring police calls, police response, police citations, police arrests, police attitudes and biases... Do police cite, arrest, brutalize more when they respond to calls in one neighborhood vs another? How about when they pull citizens over? How's their attitude and biases?

Do police self-report? All precincts don't report. People lie.

None of which will ever be 100 percent accurate, no?

I have a firm grip on reality, which is why your gaslighting is not working. Do you?

So, if you agree that police brutality disproportionately affects Black people, what is your point? Why are you an apologist for American cops?

You say white people are also affected by police brutality, but if your argument is small percentages, then the percentage of white Americans who are affected by police brutality, compared to Black and Brown people, is miniscule. Based on percentages based on population size.

So, according to your logic, that really is too small of a number to complain...

So again, what is your point???
