Have you ever looked at statistics on shooting deaths?

If you look at my previous sentence, you'll see I was referring to shootings by police. I agree, that young black men get shot all the time, mostly by other young black men, and nobody pays attention to that.

No, it is true for shooting deaths by police as well. Every time a white person is shot by a policeman, it's national news. When a black person gets shot by police, it's Tuesday.

It is not. Police shoot a lot of people and, funnily enough, no one knows exactly how many.

Are we living in the same universe?
