According to an analysis done by The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/fatal-police-shootings-in-2015-approaching-400-nationwide/2015/05/30/d322256a-058e-11e5-a428-c984eb077d4e_story.html?hpid=z1), police across the country have fatally shot at least 385 people so far this year –- a rate that comes to more than two a day and is twice the number counted by federal authorities.

The newspaper says it used interviews, police reports, local news accounts and other sources to arrive at the number. "The Post tracked more than a dozen details about each killing through Friday, including the victim's race, whether the person was armed and the circumstances that led to the fatal encounter. The result is an unprecedented examination of these shootings, many of which began as minor incidents and suddenly escalated into violence."

The Post said about half the victims were white, half minority, "The Post tracked more than a dozen details about each killing through Friday, including the victim's race, whether the person was armed and the circumstances that led to the fatal encounter. The result is an unprecedented examination of these shootings, many of which began as minor incidents and suddenly escalated into violence."

NPR put this article out why?

They are part of the problem. They are statists. They want to funnel more power to the police and government.

This is their doing and the doing of statists everywhere. This is the logical conclusion I have been warning these fucking retards of for years. It's happening.

NPR doesn't get to complain about it now. What they and statists everywhere need to do is issue public apologies to the families of those killed and then not vote for this bullshit ever fucking again.

Welcome to Yesterday and All Last Week

Fatal shooting in Baltimore is city's 40th homicide this month (http://thepoliticalforums.com/threads/45342-Fatal-shooting-in-Baltimore-is-city-s-40th-homicide-this-month)

U.S. Police Have Shot Dead 385 People In Five Months: REPORT

WASHINGTON, May 30 (Reuters) - U.S. police have shot and killed 385 people during the first five months of this year, a rate of more than two a day, the Washington Post reported on Saturday.

The death rate is more than twice that tallied by the federal government over the past decade, a count that officials concede is incomplete, the newspaper said.

The analysis is based on data the Post is compiling on every fatal shooting by police in 2015, as well as of every officer killed by gunfire in the line of duty.

snip

Federal Bureau of Investigation records over the past decade show about 400 fatal police shootings a year, or an average of 1.1 deaths a day. Reporting of shootings by police agencies is voluntary.

But the Post's analysis indicates the daily death toll for 2015 is close to 2.6 as of Friday. At that pace, police will have shot and killed nearly 1,000 people by the end of the year, the paper said.

I think all these race and cop problems were caused or exasperated by the media sensationalizing these things recently. Race wasn't a problem, and cops were a problem that were on no ones radar, until the media started bombarding the populace with it.

Really? What I remember is in the Travon case the Media had Zimmerman Convicted and Travon was a dear sweet boy that was hunted by a racist, then the racist turned out to be Hispanic and he became the new class. White Hispanic, even though he is not white.

Then I remember, a sweet young Black Gentle Giant with his hands up giving himself up to police saying don't shoot and he was gunned down in cold blood. But it turned out that he was not a gentile giant but a street thug trying to take an officers gun and kill him with it after committing a strong armed robbery.

I remember the merchant in NYC that was still selling illegal Cigs, and the man in Baltimore that was running from the police and had a record a mile long.

You see in all of these cases to turn the public on the police, the media had to tell a lie to begin with.

So my question is? If the police is so out of control. like in the SC shooting? Why is it that the media has to lie about the cases where the police were in the right. And hardly took the time to cover the SC shooting, because the police were in the wrong and prosecuted or it?

@Safety (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=1226)
Because the message is something that has been repeated over and over by me ad infinitum since ~7 years ago when Obama was elected. People pay attention to Conservatives and they are ahead of this shitty game. You want me to keep talking about how shitty the Democrats have made this country with their police state and their corrupt fucking lies? You want me just to repeat the message you can find in my signature about how people need to wake up and realize government doesn't fucking help people?

I'm sick of myself saying it I can't imagine how much Liberals actively attempting to ignore the truth of the matter, like Cigar posting on page one, are sick of it. What about you? Are you not sick of me trying to educate you all about the absolute horrors placed upon the American people by this administration?

The message was approached hours days weeks months years ago get with the program. Now is the time to unveil these morons for what they are. NPR has no right to complain. Anyone that wants any form of bigger government has no right to complain.

I want to save you all from this but I can't do it if nobody is going to listen.
