After threatening to sue, the Chicago Tribune has obtained data from the city’s police department that tracks every time an officer has opened fire in the city over the past six years. The vast majority of those hit were black men or boys.

There were 435 police shootings from 2010 through 2015, in which officers killed 92 people and wounded 170 others. In all, officers fired 2,623 bullets.

The newspaper’s findings show about four out of every five people shot were African-American males. It found that about half of the officers involved were African-American or Hispanic and most of them had years of experience and were not rookies. …

I am duly chastised. You are correct. Mea Culpa, my bad, so sorry and all that. Still the same though.

Not quite, because “the rest” implies truth whereas “the other side” could be any accusation.

One day they will want to randomly select innocent white men and boys to even the score.

You split equivocations to much. The problem is that no effort is made to example any reason for the result other than an unspoken mantra of racism. You know that.

You are accusing me of doing some thing that you cannot even describe in more than nonsensical terms?

Are 18 and 19 year olds still called boys?

I never liked Bill O’Reilly much, but after this,
I have a lot more respect for him. I’m sure he is
putting his career on the line. What he
says is the TRUTH and most of
America already knows it! But like the
“Emperor with no clothes”, no one will dare
speak the truth in public.

Actually, I accuse you of nothing other than thinking you are a contrarian bent of acting out. Frankly, I don’t care anything about you. You have what I said, understand it or not, I don’t care, really.

We have not accounted for what part of the problem can be attributed to living in high-crime areas. That would increase the number of encounters in any wise.

Trump is quite right to want to concentrate on reducing crime — and conversely, on increasing personal prosperity. There is no inherent reason for black people to keep on singing the blues as though that were their manifest destiny.

You confessed some months back about how you made it your mission, when you thought some police you knew had gotten railroaded, to try to railroad back to try to level the scales.

...

Go ahead and back up your claim. What post was that?

For someone who does not care, you surely react a lot.
