SSG Steven Mangus I agree. But because of the MEDIA problem, it stirs up the RACE problem and increases Racial tension.

I doubt anyone on the left can name the last white man shot by the police even though FBI crime stats prove a white man is twice as likely to get shot by a cop.

SFC Marcus Belt - nice, typical twisting the facts to fit the nerative.

So how do you JUSTIFY 13% population comprising a huge majority in PRISION for violent offenses ? 13% of population

Cpl Justin Caulkins - Didn't twist anything, I'm wondering the same thing as you...WHY are so many African A,ericans in prison...is it intrinsic to African Americans to be criminals or are there societal factors in play hat must be addressed?

Obviously, I believe he latter.

You seem to believe e former.

God bless.

One last thing: the issue is unjustified shootings, period...I believe that data indicate that African Americans..."blacks" as you all call us...are more likely to die from unjustified shootings than white people, but I am personally no less outraged by anyone dying unjustly.

It's just that the unjust treatment of minorities has me most concerned about he safety of my children.

Marcus, you would have to ask bill clinton who's war on drugs escalated. They, the clinton's and the democrats, incarcerated more Americans with darker skin tones than any other president since the war on drugs began.

I am not surprised at all Sgt Kelli Mays that in this day and age the only deaths that matter to much of the media are black people killed by police whether committing a crime or not.
The vast number of black people killed by other black people, white, Hispanic or Asian people killed by police are generally not of interest to the media unless of course they would be transgender or LGB people killed because of their orientation. :-(
Each and every person killed grieves the heart of God.
Hopefully one day the entire human race will be more respectful, Certainly we can do better.

TSgt Frank Shirley - LTC Stephen F. SHIRLEY! How about FACTS!!! here are FACTS...there were twice as many whites killed by Police in 2015 then there were Blacks. You cannot refute the FACTS, yet only blacks killed are mentioned and sensationalized by the MEDIA....
