Mmmm....did you know that African Americans are, in fact, far more likely to be killed by police. Among young men, blacks are 21 times more likely to die at the hands of police than their white counterparts. But, are they more likely to precipitate (to cause it to happen) police violence? No. The opposite is true. Police are more likely to kill black people regardless of what they are doing. In fact, “the less clear it is that force was necessary, the more likely the victim is to be black” (Sociological Images @ thesocietypages.org/socimages/2014/11/28/chart-of-the-week-63-of-white-people-are-wrong-about-ferguson/)...Eric was not fighting back when they put him on the ground. Makes me wonder - how often are people of color or who are a minority (Natives included) more likely to experience unnecessary force in Canada? huffingtonpost/2014/12/05/police-chokehold-eric-garner_n_6277790.html
