Study reveals who cops are most likely to shoot; liberals FURIOUS

Following the shooting of Michael Brown and subsequent civil unrest in Ferguson, it wasn’t uncommon to hear that there’s a “war” being waged against blacks by police.


It’s unclear what date this war commenced, and which police are fighting on the front lines, but many remain convinced it exists nonetheless.

While those claims are hyperbolic, if there was in fact evidence that police are more likely to use deadly force on black suspects in identical situations to white suspects, there is a problem. A new study at Washington State University aimed to figure that out.

According to the Washington Post, the study “used highly realistic police simulators, in which actors in various scenarios approach and respond to officers on large, high-definition video screens in an attempt to recreate critical situations on the street. The officers are equipped with real guns, modified to fire infrared beams rather than bullets, and the scenarios can branch into conflict or cooperation, depending on the officers’ words and actions.”

Pause for a minute. But the Baltimore Sun has a database where you can do all kinds of searches regarding homicides. I did the "last 100 murder victims" today and do you know what I discovered?

White folks in Baltimore should have no fear. If I were a black male though, I'd be concerned because it is THEY that perish from murder (likely from their own) in that city. I noticed a male Hispanic in the listing and he died as a result of a 3 way gunfire in a Baltimore Bar which appears to be more a result of stupidity than racial conflict.

Baltimore citizens will eventually realize that their legislators use race to keep themselves in office and do NOTHING for its citizens. There's a reason why Baltimore was Desegregated in the first place and that was achieve EQUALITY.

There are still white families that continue to live in Baltimore (though fewer) that no longer have anyone to stand up for them.

I WAS one of them.

I think police are more likely to shoot those who attack them.
