And more whites are killed by cops than blacks killed by cops, but not per capita, and more blacks are killed by blacks than by whites.

This article goes through the stats pretty well:

Aren’t more white people than black people killed by police? Yes, but no.

There are obviously huge disparities that cause law enforcement inequities in communities and massive crime, but these aren't mentioned at all, and instead the policeman have become the bagman and now many communities are basically anti-cop, when most of them will remain in need of police protection. The violent crime in Chicago is a good example. Laxer gun enforcement sentencing, segregated ethnic enclaves, extreme poverty, gang culture, and weirdly, social media fronting:

No, that idiot sheriff (who is known in Milwaukee as the Foreclosure Eviction King) did NOT "tear Don Lemon apart". He made a buffoon of himself, just like he did at the RNC debacle last night.

Thanks for expanding on that, Brekin.

Well, if being a bully makes him an authority, his gun offers him to opportunity to kill at random whenever the whim strikes him. I think he's a jackass, and there's nothing crazier to see than a jackass with a gun.

A most misleading headline, I agree, Jerky, my old pal.
