Ive had to drive on two lane highways for 3-4 hour stretches a lot in my state to see my gfs family and it is annoying if a cop is just casually trailing you for an extended period of time. But not scared.

Yes. Not for my life though.

They are always looking for a reason to give you a ticket.

If I was black I would be scared for my life tbh

If you were black your chance of being killed by a black civilian would be faaaaaaaar greater than getting killed by a cop.

This. I just don't want to deal with the hassle of getting pulled over. I don't think I'm gonna get shot or anything like that though

And?

That's a dumb thing to say. As someone who lives in the u.s. I'm more likely to die of cancer than I am a bite from a king cobra. But you can bet your ass I'd be terrified if I was pulled over late at night by a Cobra with a bad mustache, a gun, and aviators

Considering the average black person interacts with probably about 100,000 as much more with black civilians than cops, no shit. In cases of individual interactions, I'm sure they're more likely to be killed by a cop than anyone else. But that's probably not the statistic you want to hear.

Even when I was a police officer I would get nervous when another police officer was driving behind me, if I was in my POV.

But if theyre standing next to me at check out thats no big deal at all. Ive paid for a random officers lunch before.

An encounter with a police officer is more likely to get them killed than an encounter with a black person. Do you refute that?

Alright, if we're going to play this game, that's fine.

Go to www.google.com and search for "fbi homicide table 6 2015." Unfortunately that's the latest year FBI data is available.

Can we all agree that the number of African Americans murdered by African Americans that year is 2,380?

Now go back to www.google.com and search for "police killings 2015" and click on the first result. Can we all agree that the number of unarmed African Americans killed by police was 104?

Is there not a huge discrepancy between those figures? Is my claim that the police perhaps aren't the biggest threat to African Americans... kind of statistically valid?

What reason is that? The police are more likely to shoot YOU than a minority.

because of the disproportionate amount of black people that are shot and/or killed by police relative to their population numbers. one single study with a limited sample size and undetermined variables doesn't disprove anything.

If I was back home in Canada, my answer would be know.

In Thailand, absolutely. I'm a white guy and there are a lot of crooked cops who would see me as an ATM. Foreigners have had small amounts of drugs planted on them and then essentially extorted for a lot of money or face long jail sentences. Also, if I get in an accident I will almost assuredly will be found at fault unless I can prove otherwise with video footage and numerous witnesses. As a foreigner you can get hit from behind while stopped at a red light and they'll still find a way to place them blame on you if there is no CCTV, dash footage or witnesses.

So you admit that black people are shot by the police at rates disproportional to their population numbers...

....are you willing to admit that black people COMMIT CRIMES at rates disproportional to their population numbers, or am I going to have to cite FBI.GOV again?
