Pj asked for 1 case, I found over 100. According to a study by Yale 146 unarmed whites were killed by the police over the last 5 years.
75% of black families have a single parent household, compared to 35% white. 4 million black families are headed by a single woman. (Kids count.org).
Stats show that single parent families have a higher incidence of crime.

So what's your argument, Tommie-poo? That it's all right for the cops to shoot unarmed Black people, because they're all criminals anyway?
Your 75% "single parent" statistic is absolute bullcrap. No wonder you never cite the sources for your "facts." I know exactly where you got your numbers--and you completely misread them!
But aside from that, Tommie-poo: does that mean that it's cool for the cops to kill unarmed Black people, because they probably come from single-parent homes?
Our country won't heal until people like you die off.
Tom was too embarrassed to give the link for his study because it actually refutes his point. Luckily I found it. Enjoy !
Yale study on race and police shootings
"In an analysis of 4,653 fatal shootings for which information about both race and age were available, the researchers found a small but statistically significant decline in white deaths (about 1%) but no significant change in deaths for BIPOC. There were 5,367 fatal police shootings during that five-year period, according to the Post’s database. In the case of armed victims, Native Americans were killed by police at a rate three times that of white people (77 total killed). Black people were killed at 2.6 times the rate of white people (1,265 total killed); and Hispanics were killed at nearly 1.3 times the rate of white people (889 total killed). Among unarmed victims, Black people were killed at three times the rate (218 total killed), and Hispanics at 1.45 times the rate of white people (146 total killed)."
......What else can Tom help with today ?
Well, then, obviously the cops, pretty much everywhere, believe the same as Tommie-poo: that nonwhite people are all dangerous criminals and should be gunned down as soon as they even slightly fail to obey police orders.
I can only imagine what it's like to be a Black man pulled over by the cops. When it happens to me, I feel annoyance, resignation, or maybe a little guilt. The Black man must feel a twinge of mortal fear.
Since blacks are more than twice as likely to commit a crime it stands to reason they would be more likely to get shot by the police.
Homicide is the 4th leading cause of death for black males & is not due to the police
Give it a rest, Tommie-poo. We know you hate Black people. But just to inform you: the job of the police is NOT to shoot criminals. And it's especially not to shoot criminal suspects.
I'm done discussing this with you. You're a stupid, racist person, and I don't want to talk to you any more than I want to clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue (which would still be the more pleasant experience of the two).
Feel free to reply with yet another made-up, irrelevant statistic "showing" us that it's OK to hate Black people, because they're all criminals.
