   Did you actually look at that article with understanding?  Possibly not   
   since you seemed to miss the point that a higher proportion of blacks   
   are shot by police than whites.   
   [quote]   
   Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans   
   was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 31 fatal   
   shootings per million of the population as of July 2020.

    GD> Rayshard Brooks would still be alive today if he did resist arrest.    
    GD> Don't take my word for it watch the video how this started and how it   
    GD> ended

   Except that the end of that 44 minute video does not show how it ended.   
   It shows a lot of discussion.  It shows the officer administering a   
   field sobriety test (which Brooks passed much better than I could at any   
   time).  Then it showed the officer putting cuffs on Brooks without any   
   real explanation.  A shuffle ensued and Brooks ran away (not the best   
   choice I admit).  From then on, we only hear sounds.  Did you watch the   
   video?  If you had, you could not have truthfully said it showed the   
   end.   
      
   Other videos show that the officer shot Brooks in the back as he was   
   running away.  Brooks was no threat to the officer or anyone -- which is   
   the critera for using deadly force.   
      
      
    GD> the  struggle with the Police. Then within some distance from the cops   
    GD> as he was running away, Rayshard pointed the tazer at the cops (as he    
    GD> triggered the tazer.   
      
   Which did not threaten anyone.   
      
    GD> it made it a flash) it was at this point the one of the cops fired his   
    GD> gun killing Rayshard Brooks.   
      
   Wrong.  The cop fired while Brooks was running away -- shot in the back.   
      
   If you are going to try arguing a case, make sure you have your facts   
   and evidence right.
