    Please show me data that refutes this.
    Show me the data that suggests that this is a meaningful statistic. So I will grant that your cherry picked example is right. I will also point out that it is again, meaningless based on the number of interactions with the police and compared to the violent crime statistics.

    I will raise you again with the fact that something like 99.999999% guaranteed effective way to not get shot by the police is to not commit crimes and do what the police tell you to do when they are pointing guns at you.

    You said I was wrong, I don’t give a shit if you think it’s meaningful or not, you said I was wrong. So prove it.

    I agreed/agree with you, it is meaningless, just like PB saying more white people die to police violence than black people, which is also meaningless, and misleading.
    he threw out a bullshit "fact" that isn't a meaningful statistic.

    That’s the entire point of what I was trying to get at.

    I haven't been following along, but don't a higher % of black people, based on population, commit crimes and are thus involved with the police, than white people? You need to index your %s and then it'd be closer to apples to apples.

    Well, like, I mean, if the police were the black murdering thugs the left is portraying them to be wouldn't they be killing more black people than white people regardless of demographics?

    yup, i'm not disputing that at all.
    PB made a statement that more white people die from police, than black people which is true, but also misleading. I simply stated, a higher % of black people die from police than white people.
    I'm fully aware that if you dig deeper, and bring up other information, these numbers don't paint the entire picture. whick rocktar mentioned, and i stated i agreed 100%

    it's like me saying, white people commit more crimes than black people, that's a true but completely misleading statement, as based on population % black people probably commit more crimes than white people ( I haven't check, but I'm assuming it's true.) which you stated, and i agree 100%
