Baton Rouge Police Killing a 37-year-old black man at point blank range

I was just looking for information about police killings by race, and it is disturbing to discover that there is not an official national database that tracks police shootings. The FBI gets any numbers it has from police departments that choose to self-report, but they are not compelled to do so.

Interesting article on the subject:

Not sure where these numbers are from or how accurate they are but if they are accurate then wow.

They aren't even close to numbers I've seen. The last FBI report I can find is from 2014.

Whites kill whites most, blacks kill blacks most, other races kill other races most. Seems understandable, as much as killing anyone is understandable.

Damn... it's always sad to see those facts twisted like that,...

Maybe that picture I posted was going off %'s (accounting for population disparity) rather than just raw numbers?
Idk. Just got it off a Facebook post from someone else.

That's always the trouble. How are we supposed to know what numbers to believe?

The problem with BLM is that its poorly named. Its name let's a lot of ignorant people twist it. It should just be called "Cops Please Stop Targeting Blacks".

Read an article (in the Atlantic possibly) that suggested it be taken as "Black Lives Matter Too".
