'White people are being killed too, MORE white people!' Trump’s response when asked why black Americans are still being killed by cops
Daily Mail ^ | 07 15 2020 | Emily Goodin

President Donald Trump brushed off a question about why more black people are dying at the hands of police, arguing 'so are white people'

'So are white people. So are white people. What a terrible question to ask. So are white people,' he told CBS News. 'More people, by the way. More white people'

While black Americans account for less than 13 per cent of the U.S. population, they are killed by police at more than twice the rate of white Americans

Trump called the killing of George Floyd 'terrible'

Trump administration was criticized for its handling of race relations

I saw this reported on ABC Nightly yesterday.

The report quickly pointed out blacks are PROPORTIONATELY killed at a higher rate than whites.

Naturally they did not report blacks PROPORTIONATELY commit crimes at a higher rate than white just like this article.

“””””Trump called the killing of George Floyd ‘terrible’ “””””

He wasn’t KILLED. He died of a drug overdose.

A trial will determine the rest.

And we need to see numbers on the proportionality of how violent the perps are.

It didn’t take long for Catherine Herridge to get onto the CBS anti-Trump band wagon.

The BLM nuts like to report that Vermont has more blacks in prison than living in the State. That’s what happens when they come up from Philly and the Bronx to sell drugs and get caught. Then they count as a ‘Vermont prisoner’. Playing games with stats.

Committing a crime and resisting arrest never gets mentioned

That's what the coroner said, did he?

We'll see. This can be spun by the media in any number of ways, and I'm sure they'll hit them all.

It's shocking how much of the country cannot catch on to the liberal media and their methods.

Trump won’t take a knee. That’s why he is going to win.

We are ALL being constantly killed by the police. As soon as they leave their buildings in the morning they turn on the automatic machine guns that just spew out bullets in all directions.

They don't turn off their automatic guns until the end of their shift.

Reminds me of a movie, "Good Morning, Vietnam", with Robin Williams. The military censors would not let him report the news.

At the trial, if there ever is one, the medical experts hired by the defense will explain it all.

It’s not all the police killings that bother me, it’s the ones where there doesn’t seem to be any justification. It’s one thing to have to kill a suspect that’s trying to kill the officer or someone else. It’s another to kill someone where there is no threat to the officer or anyone else. That happens too frequently, with both black victims and white victims. Police is Sedalia, Mo. shot and killed a white woman a few weeks back. The officer said she threatened to kill him but surprise, surprise no gun was found in her car or on her person. She was a kid on her way to work, got stopped, and wound up dead. I don’t think an explanation is out of order. And I don’t think that the officer shouldn’t pay for his mistake if he did make a fatal one.
