The media has certainly been on a role lately -- creating the false narrative that there's an epidemic of unarmed blacks being killed by cops.
But, what do the numbers really say?
What correlates most to police shootings and arrests is the crime rate, not race. There are an estimated 375 million annual U.S. police interactions with citizens — in 2019, 999 ended in shooting fatalities by police (0.0003%), and 14 were unarmed blacks (0.000004%). Only one of those shootings was not attempting to resist or evade arrest (0.0000003%).

We should deal with them. Bad cops should be fired just as bad teachers should be removed. Nobody hates bad cops more than good cops.
