The semantics related itshot arguments are a lot more fun and interesting than the math problems so hopefully we can have one of those

Guys please tell HIV he's right, please!!!
After all he was an analyst in middle east or something like that, this dude knows maths.
What a trainwreck this thread is!

Pretty crazy stuff happening in USA#1 this week, even crazier to say that this week is crazier than the one before that...
No one like lootings anywhere in the world but that's what you get when you constantly treat people like ****.

Would you rather be the guy risking your life to protect someone else’s money, or the guy with the money?

Pretty easy choice if you ask me.

You think it does, but you have to assume the protestors have to be overwhelming male, first and foremost, and black, which is entirely is not even close to being demonstrated. You keep doubling down on your stupidity, and getting your gotcha's on irrelevant math mistakes. You've still not countered the initial point, 99.9999% or whatever will not die at the hands the police, and your only response gotcha gotcha you made a rounding error.
If we take the protestors to be 50% black, and of them an even split of men and women, 20% Latinx with an even split of men and women, 20% white and of them an even split of men and women, and 10% Asian, and of them an even split of men and women, then, using the numbers from the study, we'd expect about 0.036% of the protesters would be killed by the police, which is a number 3600 times larger than the number you first stated would be merely harmed by police. In contrast, using the 1/1000 number for the whole crowd is an overestimate by only a factor of 3. Your strawman about my claim was a much better estimate than yours!

Add to that, of course, is the fact that this is only people killed by police, while your original claim was "harmed." Killing a black man obviously harms far more people than just himself (such as his partner and kids and parents), not to mention that there are lots of other harms out there, such as beatings and disparate policing. It's actually a lot more people than 1/1000 who will be harmed by the police.

What the marchers are getting smart and not looting their own neighborhoods and head for the Hills. Maybe they can burn down Kapernicks house.

Police officer murders a man recorded on multiple cameras, need many days of investigation and riots before charges. Go figure.

And her sister was arrested within minutes on multiple charges while the 3 other officers are still free.

I know reading comprehension is super difficult for you but what are you talking about? I cut and pasted a USA today article with little comment because Kelhus failed to link to anything. How have I fallen into anything?
Try to understand what is going on a little better.
And nothing Victor said even contradicts either the article or what I wrote in response to it. But again-- I understand you have a hard time understanding words in context so I can't fault you too much.

Donald Trump endorses this gif, shocking that he has no ability as a leader to calm nationwide protests

Pretty strong peaceful protests in Dallas, but the police regularly engaged the crowd with violence and gas. Is pretty disappointing to see every city and every state falling flat on their face.

The reason they were different are... umm err police were right nope same in both cases, there was video of the girls? Also for the police.

I would love for one of our criminal justice experts to enlighten us that while the murder investigation is proceeding at a proper pace, the two girls attempted murder investigation, which was instantaneous travel by comparison, is also proceeding at a proper pace?

Police officers are provided a ridiculous amount of favoritism and benefits when they are being investigated for a crime. Heck the get to go home and cool off for a couple of days before they are properly interviewed.

It doesn’t make sense for police officers to have special treatment if they commit crimes.
