   Here are the Actual Numbers   
   White   
   Year   Year   Year   Year   
   2017   2018   2019   2020   
   ---- | ---- | ---- | ----    
    457    399    370    215   
      
   Black   
   Year   Year   Year   Year   
   2017   2018   2019   2020   
   ---- | ---- | ---  | ----   
    223    209    235    111   
      
   As a direct result of these calculations.   
      
   234 more whites died then blacks in 2017   
   190 more whites died then blacks in 2018   
   135 more whites died then blacks in 2019   
   104 more whites died then blacks in 2020   
      
   1441 more whites died then 778 black in last 4 years   
   Infact the numbers also show that the number of whites deaths is greater by   
   the number of 663 within the past 4 years.

   Here is the full quote    
      
   Sadly, the trend of fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only   
   be increasing, with a total 558 civilians having been shot, 111 of whom were   
   Black, as of July 29, 2020. In 2018, there were 996 fatal police shootings, and   
   in 2019 this figure increased to 1,004. 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.   
      
   Let's take a deeper dive, shall we? with what the above text is indicating   
   here.  558 civilians having been shot 111 of whom were black this means that   
   447 of these were of another race. That number of skyrocketed to 1004, the   
   graphic does NOT say it was by by Police officers, could it be   
   that these numbers are BLACK on BLACK crimes on each other?  Could be.    
   You never have heard and you never will hear people within the BLM movement   
   and you will not hear Democratic Politicians condemning this violence.   
      
   Police brutality in the U.S.   
      
   In recent years, particularly since the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in   
   Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, police brutality has become a hot button issue in   
   the United States. The number of homicides committed by police in the United   
   States is often compared to those in countries such as England, where the   
   number is significantly lower.   
      
   Black Lives Matter   
   The Black Lives Matter Movement, formed in 2013, has been a vocal part of the   
   movement against police brutality in the U.S. by organizing "die-ins",   
   marches, and demonstrations in response to the killings of black men and   
   women by police.   
      
   Black Lives Matter is a farce.    
      
   They do not talk or speak of the issues within the Black community, as to why   
   there is so much Black on Black Crime, which has caused death of innocent   
   children within their own homes.    
      
   They will not speak to what happened as to what lead the death to whomever   
   that are protesting about. or ask any of the questions such as did the   
   individual corporate with the police?    
   As far these people are concerned there is no consequence or irrational   
   behavior that could of lead to the killing. He or she was simply killed in   
   cold in cold blood... This is how dumb and undedicated these people are.   
      
   Quote   
   While Black Lives Matter has become a controversial movement within the U.S.,   
   it has brought more attention to the number and frequency of police shootings   
   of civilians.    
      
   This is because they refuse to be arrested by the cops, these people seem   
   to not have the understanding; what it means to have their day in court, even   
   they might feel (as I'm sure you will pick up on) that they feel that they   
   will not be successful in court. but it beats dying - any day of the week!     
      
   This would of course mean that they would continue to live and see another   
   sunset as well take care of their families, seems so selfish to take the   
   route of resisting arrest that ends up these people losing their lives.   
      
    DS>  GD> Rayshard Brooks would still be alive today if he did resist arrest.

    DS> Except that the end of that 44 minute video does not show how it ended.   
    DS> It shows a lot of discussion.  It shows the officer administering a   
    DS> field sobriety test (which Brooks passed much better than I could at any   
    DS> time).  Then it showed the officer putting cuffs on Brooks without any   
    DS> real explanation.  A shuffle ensued and Brooks ran away (not the best   
    DS> choice I admit).  From then on, we only hear sounds.  Did you watch the   
    DS> video?  If you had, you could not have truthfully said it showed the   
    DS> end.   
      
   You are right about the discussion just about 42 minutes worth. You really   
   believe that you or I would be given 42 minutes of time to try to explain   
   ourselves?   
      
   A lot of people can pass a sobriety test and still be impaired, this is for the   
   law to decide not the one who is accused, that is done in the court of law not   
   on the street or in public where your being viewed as menace to society.   
      
   Rayshard did not know where he was at multiple times. Which was also heard on   
   the video but you seemed to have glossed over that fact.   
      
    DS> Other videos show that the officer shot Brooks in the back as he was   
    DS> running away.  Brooks was no threat to the officer or anyone -- which is   
    DS> the critera for using deadly force.   
      
   This video that I posted was from a Police Body cam, what other video would   
   you be referencing. If there was a video captured by Wendy's restaurant that   
   camera was destroyed as was the Wendy's was burned down to the ground by people   
   who did not know that their brother from another mother was treated more than   
   more then fairly for 42 minutes, the carnage began when Rayshard resisted   
   arrest.   
      
    DS> Wrong.  The cop fired while Brooks was running away -- shot in the back.   
      
   No you're wrong. COPS do not shoot at suspects white or black just for fleeing   
   the scene.     
   At 41:35 you can hear the cop telling Rayshard to let go of the tazer.
