That statistic reflects the correlation between poverty and crime. If you controlled for socio-economic status you would find that blacks and whites, if they have similar incomes, commit violent crimes at the same rate.
Very true.
Are you going to do that by paying the married mother more or the single mother less? Because paying the single mother less is not helping her.
An assumption with no basis in fact.
No doubt. But blacks do make up the largest demographic for poverty in this nation. We have a class issue disguised as a race issue, admittedly the class issue was caused by previous racial legislation that sought this outcome.
You would be referring to the couples whose combined income is so low that it’s less than the help they would get if single right? They don’t get any assistance at all if married? Not sure how it works there. If they’re not married just for the sake of money only, I’m assuming that means the father is still involved and is raising the child?
So we can finally admit this country has a problem with police brutality and lack of accountability for law enforcement? Can we finally retire those Thin Blue Line flags, deal with the issue at hand, and seek justice for people like Timpa? If so, wonderful! We’re finally getting somewhere!
I’ve seen that footage before… absolutely sickening.

No I think the point being made was that nobody ever seems to talk about cases where white men are unjustly killed by police. The mainstream media certainly doesn’t. As @Agnus-Dei said, it simply doesn’t fit the narrative, so they don’t care about it.
This simply isn’t true. In fact, that this story is present in so many mainstream sources doesn’t seem to fit your narrative.
Oh sure, it was covered, but was it talked about for weeks and weeks and followed by mass protests against police brutality like almost all police killings by police of black men?
Thank you for backpedaling.
This was shocking to watch. The guy who was killed was petrified, and didn’t seem to understand police instructions because he had been drinking. He was an innocent guy killed by police.
Not doing that, so no need to thank me. Are you going to address any of what I said, or just make a mean comment?
I never said the media don’t cover it. Read what I wrote. I said they don’t talk about it. They’ll do a shirt few minute package on the incident. They won’t spend all day discussing it with various experts.
