GD> https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to- GD> death-by-us-police-by GD> -race/ Did you actually look at that article with understanding? Possibly not since you seemed to miss the point that a higher proportion of blacks are shot by police than whites. [quote] Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 31 fatal shootings per million of the population as of July 2020.

GD> Don't take my word for it watch the video how this started and how it GD> ended GD> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhdpG2XzRXQ&t=183s Except that the end of that 44 minute video does not show how it ended. It shows a lot of discussion. It shows the officer administering a field sobriety test (which Brooks passed much better than I could at any time). Then it showed the officer putting cuffs on Brooks without any real explanation. A shuffle ensued and Brooks ran away (not the best choice I admit). From then on, we only hear sounds. Did you watch the video? If you had, you could not have truthfully said it showed the end. Other videos show that the officer shot Brooks in the back as he was running away. Brooks was no threat to the officer or anyone -- which is the critera for using deadly force. GD> the struggle with the Police. Then within some distance from the cops GD> as he was running away, Rayshard pointed the tazer at the cops (as he GD> triggered the tazer. Which did not threaten anyone. GD> it made it a flash) it was at this point the one of the cops fired his GD> gun killing Rayshard Brooks. Wrong. The cop fired while Brooks was running away -- shot in the back. If you are going to try arguing a case, make sure you have your facts and evidence right. Dale Shipp fido_261_1466 (at) verizon (dot) net (1:261/1466) ....
