Sobering statistics.


America's law enforcement officers have shot and killed upwards of 385 people so far this year, according to a new Washington Post investigation. That's a rate of about 1 every 9 hours, or 2.5 shootings per day. That's a lot compared to other countries -- cops in Germany killed only 8 people in 2013-2014, for instance. British police didn't kill anyone last year.

Through June 1, there have been 5,099 gun deaths in the U.S., according to up-to-date numbers maintained by the Gun Violence Archive. Based on the 385 figure, that means that American police are responsible for about 1 in every 13 gun deaths in the country, or 8 percent. The Gun Violence Archive numbers include suicide as well as homicide, so the police-involved share of gun homicides would be even larger.

Many of these killings are undoubtedly justifiable acts of self-defense. The Post database shows that 317 of the police shooting victims were carrying guns or other weapons at the time of their death. On the other hand, that leaves 62 police shootings where the victim didn't have any weapon at all, and another six where the presence of a victim's weapon is still unknown.

Oh boy, I bet you really believe what you said. They may not have many Hispanics, but you can bet your bippy they have huge problems with illegal immigrants from Africa and the Mid-East.

In fact all of Europe has a big illegal alien problem.

Did I say anything about illegal aliens? I said they were ignorant and terrorizing their communities.

Is that how you feel about illegals? That they are all ignorant and terrorizing their communities?

You are the one who used the word ignorant, not I. I was simply pointing out that problems are not restricted to the USA.

Are you saying that all legal aliens are ignorant and terrorizing their communities?

That is a bias I've not heard others make. Also, I have seen o terrorizing of anyone by the aliens who live in my area. Indeed those I have met have been friendly. The seem hard workers and I must say their churches are packed on Sundays and on several week nights. My guess is a higher percentage of aliens attend church than of the population as a whole.

Once again I point out that I did not bring anyone's immigration status into this conversation, you did. I haven't made comments on whether I believe legal or illegals are ignorant or not. Why are you fixating on illegals and aliens in particular? Yes, I said ignorant. Does the mere mention of ignorant make you think of aliens? What a shame that you are so discriminatory that you instantly think of aliens as being ignorant.

Your words were ... and I quote:

Neither Germany or the UK have droves of ignorant blacks and hispanics formed into gangs and terrorizing their communities.

So as you say you did not use the word alien, do you mean that all natural born Hispanics and blacks are members of gangs and all are terrorizing their communities?

No I never said anything about "all" or "natural born". Are you having difficulty reading?

Sounds like a Black/Hispanic version of the GOP.

Crabby has the same problem as another poster - everytime he reads a post, he's looking in the mirror and sees what HE would have siad; not what was really said!!
I still wonder how he is still around! Perhaps he's an administrator just playing devil's advocate; maybe??????:eek::rolleyes::confused:

Sobering statistics.

They are sobering. When we take God and prayer out of our schools, wen we have disadain for mention of God in our public square this is what you get. Lawlessness. Satan has taken American freedom and used it against freedom. You want to blame the cops, I blame the elimination of God from the public square. If you don't like that to bad. We need God in our lives, we need God in our homes, we need God in our schools, we need God in our government and we need God in our country. You want to trade God for socialism. Socialism is your God. Tearing down those who serve and protect us is your tactic. Nothing about that is godly.

If you are not talking about aliens and you are not talking about natural born citizens, who are you calling ignorant who belong to gangs and terrorize their communities?

Face it you are busted for doing what you always do. As Curtis said adding to his words and then trying to get him to defend the words you put in his mouth.

I'm talking about ignorant blacks and hispanics, no matter their immigration status. Is it that hard to comprehend basic English?

Are there any ignorant whites who add to the problem?

I was talking specifically about ignorant people who have "formed into gangs" and are "terrorizing their communities". This is predominately a black and hispanic problem.

But yes, there are ignorant whites who add to them problem. Specifically those social justice warriors (like you and Zaac) who make excuses for the aforementioned ignorant blacks and hispanics.
