Try your math again. Any more than 6 black folks getting shot and there's the immediate truth that cops are gunning down black folks at well above the rate of whites given the population of each in the country.
The blue line will kill you before it saves you. Become self reliant and treat cops as they should be--an armed threat to your life.

bullshit, bullshit,bullshit.....you dont go by population of white vs blacks.
you go by how many criminal acts or altercations are made by each............ if blacks have more criminal acts, it raises the amount of episodes with cops. here is the crime statistics for 2009 as an example
Because detailed FBI data on crime can lag by several years, the most-cited statistics on this point refer to 2009 data. According to that data, out of all violent crimes in which someone was charged, black Americans were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the country's 75 biggest counties - despite the fact that black Americans made up just 15 percent of the population in those places.
"Such a concentration of criminal violence in minority communities means that officers will be disproportionately confronting armed and often resisting suspects in those communities, raising officers' own risk of using lethal force," wrote Heather Mac Donald, a conservative researcher, in a Wall Street Journal column headlined "The Myth of Black Lives Matter" that was originally published in February and re-published this weekend. The assertion that the black men and women killed by police are primarily violent criminals and the explanation for racial disparities in who gets killed by law enforcement is the premise of Mac Donald's new book, "The War on Cops."
