The meme below makes a very important point. Everyone, but blacks in particular, need to learn that the police have legitimate authority and that their commands must be obeyed. Not to do so is not only illegal but highly imprudent. Michael Brown, Daunte Wright, and Adam Toledo all brought about their own deaths by their foolish  behavior. Similarly with Jacob Blake. He didn't die, but was severely injured. A cop is under no moral or legal obligation to wait for you to shoot at him before he shoots at you. <\/span><\/div>\n

Racism was not involved in these shootings. A cop will use deadly force against ANYONE who threatens him with deadly force. Race doesn't come into it, except insofar as blacks as a group are more criminally prone than other groups. To put the point as clearly as possible: while there are racist cops, and there are cops who commit murder under color of law, the vast majority of police shootings of blacks are not racist acts. Proportionally more blacks get shot because their criminality  is higher than that of Asians, whites, and other groups.  This is a well-known  fact. Bear in mind that  while there are racial<\/em> facts, facts about race, there are no racist<\/em> facts. This is a very simple distinction: even a 'liberal' is able<\/em> to make it. Question is, will<\/em> he?<\/span><\/div>\n
