"I suggest if you really want to know some truth to turn of FOX and research some actual data."
The "data", including categorization of black and white, came from census reports and crime stats came from the FBI. Maybe you need to do your research more than I do. You are behaving like one of those who cannot accept facts that do not fit your preconceived notions. |

Citizen Run Database Shows Over 1,000 People Killed by Cops in 2014
To date the most reliable data anyone has about law enforcement killings in the U.S. was the FBI’s statistics on homicides by law enforcement. But therein lies the problem. Those numbers are voluntarily given to the FBI by police, and many jurisdictions simply don’t hand over this information, thus making an accurate accounting of exactly how many people police have actually killed each year extremely difficult to ascertain. For instance, the killing of Eric Garner would not be included in the FBI’s 2014 statistics because New York doesn’t participate in the voluntary program. Thankfully there is a new means of aggregating how many people are being killed by law enforcement. This new tool for accountability is the website www.killedbypolice.com. It’s basically a spreadsheet that lists every person killed by cops in the years 2013 and 2014. In addition to naming those killed, it also provides a link to media reports for each of the killings, age, sex and race if available. The information available on the site begins in May of 2013 and runs through now. The novel idea of monitoring the number of police killings through news reports has shown to be a much better accounting of deaths at the hands of cops than the voluntary FBI system. |

It always tickles me, hiroad, when the ignorant commie liberals fall back on the "turn off Fox news" mantra. (Such original thought!) It's the equivalent to the sophomoric "my dad can take your dad" mantra when davieboy can't refute your facts. |

Yeh, the fox news thing is getting kind of irrelevant with me and most of my acquaintances. We do not watch much TV news anymore. But, if I did, why would I turn off the no. 1 news network and go, full time, to something of a lesser caliber as judged by the viewing public? That would seem to be kind of moronic to me. I think you need to get a sampling of news from all sources in this day and age of agenda driven media. |
