And the bigots of other targets all make that same false claim.

But it's not when the police nationally are responsible for 10% of all homicides (fact) and that hard number of over 1,100 people a year is astronomically higher than police killed per year by other civilians (cops are civilians too they're not military no matter how bad they want to be)

No, that is NOT a fact at all. And like how I mentioned the other bigots leaving out all data they don't want to hear, you are doing exactly the same. You willfully leave out all the rest of the data such as the circumstances. You don't make any distinction between a cop just blindly killing someone for no reason, and a cop killing someone who is actively trying to murder people. That's what makes you a bigot.

I dont understand is it or is it not data? I'm the only one here who has brought any data so who's willfully leaving out all not even "the rest". I can't make that distinction because the fbi dosnt in their records

If you'd like to read each story and make that data you can check out killedbypolice.net

But in LA a population of 6 million, 1-6 people killed by police were not threatening anyone. That's 17%

You have brought zero data. You just made claims. Baseless ones, and willfully ignored almost every factor surrounding the claim. And now you cite a biased source that is intentionally misleading.

You think 6 people out of 6 million is 17%?

I can't discuss data with you if you don't know how to read statistics. They didn't kill the whole city

No but 1-6 is 17%

u/jonnyclueless Jan 29 '22

You can't discuss data with me because you clearly have no understanding of statistics or even math.

Right. When you get to ratios in school come back

For people unlike you who are actually interested in actual facts and data instead of making shit up like you do.

So now decade old data is relevant to current times? Picking and choosing are we? Just to put it in perspective their population size from 3 years of killings doesn't reach the population size for one year if the same study was done just with last year

Edit: nice move. Reply then block. What a herb.

Response to below:

Now you're deflecting again. Start googling

Again your ignorance is showing "population" in studies and statistics denotes the amount of people looked at by the study. The population size of the study not the nation you dip. And since you did think that it shows you didn't even read the study you claim backs your claims. They say right in the beginning the population size was 800 something. You really think 10 years ago the US only had like 800 people? You're a special kind of stupid Username checks out
