These stats about police violence (which pertain in many cases to all races) help show why it& #39;s not just a "hate problem" or a "rogue cop" problem and why race is significant and why POC are angry, scared, and asking white people to support them. https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/ ">https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/">...
A black person is 3x more likely to be killed by a cop than a white person though they& #39;re 1.3x more likely to be unarmed than a white person.

There are 8 cities in the US where black men are killed by police at a higher rate than the actual US murder rate.

There are solutions.
This isn& #39;t an indictment on all law enforcement just as it isn& #39;t an indictment on all white people. But our silence makes us complicit. Our dismissal of race as a part of the issue contributes to the ongoing issue. We must advocate for change, politically/socially/economically
