And there are more of white kids with BB guns. They lived. Two in particular last year were made to write an essay on Tamir Rice as a result.

I love how they always push the agenda that white kids complied PEACEFULLY while the black ones raised hell. How do we get some of this favoritism? Can we get in on it too please. sir?

tbf though last year (according to this article) more white people were shot dead by police than black people, almost double the amount in fact

ETA although having read through it properly I see the unarmed ones were mostly black/Hispanic so I get your point

IF this is true (you just can't trust the government and what they release to media outlets to push their agenda), it would make sense as whites make 63% of the population and giving that blacks are only 13% a large amount are still being killed. However it would be foolish to act like racial profiling is not a thing.

No I agree and It does say on that article that the vast majority of unarmed shootings are towards black/hispanic people. Racial profiling does nothing but cause the Police to fear black people more I think which leads to stories like we've seen a lot of lately where unarmed kids are being shot. I think for a start the Police training needs a massive over haul

Yeah I agree American police seem to rely to heavily on their guns it makes me wonder if they have any training at all or if they're just given a gun and a badge and sent out into the world.

mmm also the fact their gun laws are ridiculous too so no doubt they're more jumpy when approaching people, literally anyone could be armed.
