I am fed up with the rioting etc. there is a saying that is mostly about soldiers but I think it is also true about police, “People sleep well in there beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf”! In 2015 a total of 94 unarmed people were killed by police I can not find the racial breakdown, but I believe it was about 50/50.. In 2019 a total of 28 unarmed people were shot by police. 19 were white 9 were black. You run the same risk of being killed by lightening according to an ABC story. Gee things have improved. Are there police who are bad actors? Yes, but name me one group, organization or profession that doesn’t have bad actors. If there are bad apples don’t blame the fruit, blame the inspectors. What happens when police get neutered and lose public support? Do you believe crime goes down, murder decreases and we enter utopia? Nope, just the opposite as the Harvard study shows. So while policing has gotten better you would never know it from watching the lame stream media and their narrative. Do the lives lost because of police pull back matter, well they are black lives killed by gang bangers so not as much.

Those numbers are not correct.
In 2015, there were 235 unarmed people killed by by the police. Racial & ethnic breakdown is: White-106, Black-79, Hispanic-39, Asian-5, American Indian-4, Unknown-2. That is out of a total of 1146 people who were killed by police that year, meaning that 20%, or 1 out of 5 of those who were killed by the police were unarmed.
In 2016, there were 170 unarmed people killed by by the police. Racial & ethnic breakdown is: White-95, Black-42, Hispanic-28, Asian-2, American Indian-2, Unknown-1. That is out of a total of 1093 people who were killed by police that year, meaning that 16%, or 1 out of 6 of those who were killed by the police were unarmed.
The Harvard study has been questioned for using incomplete data. The data I quoted came from the Guardian. The Washington Post has similar data, but only for officer-involved shootings.

I agree, we have bad folks that steal the thunder of those who do the right thing. But we know that strife or violence gets better press.

I wish the media would tell the truth. Have you heard those statistics? I knew when police pulled back things went south, but not how badly!
