Exactly. That was what I was getting at, too. Problem is even worse when the media hyper-reports on the "bad apples" to the point that it makes them ALL look bad. When that is far from the case in actuality. It's more a reflection of our country's mindset of what's "trending" in media, than it is of police in general. When we keep showing primarily the bad side of the job- ie, the ones who either abuse authority or make snap decisions based on racial bias- it only reinforces the view of minorities that all police are "out ot get them". It's a vicious circle that needs to stop.

This is the amount of police killings versus arrest broken down by race. Black .0101% per arrest White .0080% per arrest Latino .0150% per arrest SO FOR THE RECORD LATINOS ARE THE MOST LIKELY RACE/ETHNICITY TO BE KILLED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT!! NOT AFRICAN-AMERICANS!!! The incidence rate is actually closer to that of Whites!!!!! Compared to Latinos. But I am curious how many of you have heard calls for intervention for the Latino community?? This is a issue for all race, but also lets remember that incidence rates are very low statistically, but we can still do better and we need to strive for better. I agree with Plastron Cafe and MSMARVELDUCKIE. We need better training for police. sources for my stats https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s...ables/table-43 https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...hootings-2017/ I broke down police killing by race and divided by number of arrest of each race.

Five days late, but there is also the factor that the media likes to 'skew' perception towards a certain viewpoint, because it generates pageviews and site clicks. I remember the Travain(sp?) Martin case, the way it was 'told' in the media was a bit embossed with a bit of ah... artistic license. The way it actually happened however, as told by the guy in a book who did the actual autopsy, was kind of anticlimactic to the slanted story the media was cooking to stir emotional pageclicks. He also was annoyed at how much the media was making it hard to present the actual truth because they were deliberately trying to stir people up.
Basically the media wants to stir up emotions on this stuff because it's the gift that keeps on giving. They have advertising on the stuff you watch or click on, and they get 'paid' depending on the traffic. Very few people fact-check when they are angry, and angry people are very easy to manipulate. |

Apparently, the school that Antwon Rose Jr. attended had/has a history of police brutality.
Disgusting. Just ... oh my God. |

That may be true. But still, it's telling how nobody wants to talk about the fact that he had a clip in his pocket, or the fact that the car he was in was 99.9% likely to be the same one involved in a drive-by shooting about 15 minutes before.
Police may have been a bit overzealous, but make no mistake, this kid was no innocent snowflake. More than likely, he literally just tried to kill someone about a quarter-hour before he himself was gunned down. It perfectly explains why he ran, as well. Real genius move, there. I've had police pull guns on me; you shut the f*ck up and do as told. If you run, you may as well hang a big sign around your neck that says "I'm guilty as f*ck, please shoot me." Whether or not the cops were "justified" in shooting him is a bit fuzzy, based on protocol, apparently, but it's 2+2=4 from where I sit. Gang member + Violent Criminal Activity = Short Ride, Bad Ending. When violent criminals reap what they sow, I'm not going to cry about it. At least he won't be able to participate or assist in any more drive-by shootings.
