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:

The ideological rhetoric is getting ugly.
