If you grew up in places like Baltimore or Chicago or New York you would hear about someone you know getting killed or almost killed by the police like once a month. Not unreasonable for a communities leading cause of death to be by cop.
I have 2 questions. What definition of “community” are we using here? And, can you provide convincing evidence that is the case?
A community is a community, I don’t know how else to explain it… my evidence is I’ve fucking lived it. I know 2 people who have been killed by cops and dozens more who have been beaten so badly they could have easily died. I don’t know anyone who has died of cancer.
I’m sorry you’re not educated on the way policing works in poor and minority communities but it’s not my job to educate you. If you want to learn you can easily do so.
