    The Atlanta guy,George Floyd,Brionna Taylor,Eric Garner, etc weren't murder suspects

    How many of the black people cops kill are murder suspects?

    Who is more likely to shoot a black suspect - a black cop or a white cop??

    ah, yes, the myth of the lethal retreating black man who took my taser, they need a better excuse, that one's getting old, or at least sprinkle some crack on the corpse when they drop their taser.

  8. Shooting someone is often when the officer is threatened in any way.

    When an unarmed suspect is running away what should the rule be?

    I do not think police should be given the freedom to shoot someone in the back running away of any color, why not pursue him or was it just easier/lazier to shoot first?

    Police pretty consistently kill 1000 people annually in the US (0.01% of arrests, 0.002% of interactions). That includes all demographics. ~25% of those deaths are black men, yet that same group accounts for 53% of known murders and 60% of known robberies. There is definitely a discrepancy there, but it doesn't support the ‘systemic racism’ assertions.
    Quite the opposite.
