Holy fucking shit. Are you just trolling?
Are you deliberately missing the point I'm trying to make or do you genuinely not understand it? I'm not comparing anything to anything. I'm simply making the point that the fact plane crashes happen doesn't mean they are common or are evidence that flying is unsafe.
Do you understand the difference between the fact that something is possible and something being likely?
People win the lottery all the time. That doesn't mean winning the lottery is likely, it just means that in a large population unlikely things will happen to someone. Almost certainly not you though.
More straw manning.Its only the cops who have guns and people end up dead. Is that acceptable in any other country?. is it acceptable to you.....obviously it is.
It's not "acceptible" but if you're going to let both the police and the population have guns then incidents like this are inevitable.
I said that some of the people who were shot were running away from the police. You leapt on that and completely ignored the actual point I was makingYou say people were being shot while running from police. Now that is no longer the issue since i`ve shown how ludicrous that argument is
Even if we agree that whether they were running away isn't that important, that still leaves us with 14 black people shot and killed in the US by police last year.
There are over 30 million black people in the US. (source https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fa...e/US/IPE120218 )
That doesn't speak to me of a systematically racist police force gunning down black people at every opportunity.
Where is the evidence that black people's lives are in danger when they encounter the police in the US?
You can look at individual incidents all day, what really tells you whether there's a problem is statistics.
I see in a subsequent post you have provided some, so let me deal with that.
I do know that. Yes, black people are disproportionately affected. Tell you who are affected more, statistically - men. 95% of people shot and killed in the US in 2019 were male. Is that because of a systematically sexist police force gunning down males? No, it's because men get into far more scrapes with the police than women. Black people are disproportionately affected because they commit a disproportionate amount of the crime. Not because they are inherently more violent or lawless but because crime is correlated with poverty and for historic (and yes, racist) reasons, white people have most of the money in the US.
I'm sure there's a racist element too, but the statistics do not bear out the idea that unarmed black people need fear for their lives when interacting with police in the US.
