    2019 numbers -
    Population: 375 million
    Arrests yearly: 10 million
    People killed by police in 2019: 1000
    Black people killed by police: 235
    Unarmed black people killed: 9

    On Memorial Day weekend in Chicago alone, 10 African-Americans were killed in drive-by shootings.

    2020 Corona supposed deaths: 100k+

    Makes total sense! Burn everything to the ground, ruin jobs and livelihoods, and kill more people in the process!

    You should’ve added that there were 19 white unarmed people killed by police as well as 13 of other ethnic backgrounds in 2019.

    Are there problems out there with racism, a few bad cops? Absolutely, but the stats don’t back up the narrative and agenda being pushed.

    Yeah, Heather McDonald has the most definitive stats I've ever read on this reality. It doesn't seem to matter though.

    In case anyone might be interested, one of my son's put this video together a few days ago. It illustrates the disconnect the young man I posted about earlier today.
