Please do tell me what's "disgusting" about mentioning a statistical fact? Feel free to look at the FBI's uniform crime statistics, among others and see what I mean. Ideological considerations only make progress harder when they blatantly try to ignore realities. As for your claim that police disproportionately kill black people, well, actually it's a bit more complicated than that and doesn't quite negate what I mentioned above about crime stats. Every unjustifiable death of a black individual or anyone at the hands of the police is a tragedy and a probabl crime that needs to be addressed, but here, read these if you like, for additional perspective: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/06/11/opinion/statistical-p...

You posted the link to USA Today which cites and links multiple times to the exact same FBI Uniform Crime Reporting statistics, which are the USA's canonical summary of national crime data.

I am flagging this because you're a throwaway account who's calling people Nazis and "hardcore racists" for referring to the exact same dataset you yourself brought into the discussion. This type of grossly unprincipled behavior is why having a productive discussion about crime in this country is impossible.
