Most Americans are convinced there is an “epidemic” of police shooting unarmed black males in America. This widespread misperception is reinforced with misreportage, sensationalized reportage, missing context, and the lack of reporting on analogous cases.
In February, a survey was released that showed how many adults overestimate the number of adult unarmed black males were killed by police officers in 2019 (the last year with full data available). The Skeptic Research Center published the results, which were broken down by political ideology. A chart based on these responses is posted below:

Think how difficult it would be to accept that what you believed with every fiber of your being, what gave you purpose in life, what gave you license to justly your shaming other people turned out to be a complete fraud? It's harder than admitting that you spent your entire life savings on a Nigerian prince. They will never accept their own foolishness and take responsibility for the harm they have caused. People are getting killed because they believe that every police encounter will likely be deadly for them.

How many unarmed blacks resisted arrest believing that since I'm black laws don't apply to me?

I would say about 30 Black men are actually killed annually by police each year and that they all were either failing to comply with the instructions given to them by the police, or were violently resisting arrest, or both.

How many of the unarmed black men were attacking the officer, and trying to take their weapons, and kill them? Please adjust your figures for this.

The references used here are interesting - in that each source has an obvious ax to grind when commenting on their own data. One has to swim thru their messy conclusions - or rely on the posted article which gives a much clearer picture. The Left & the Anarchists are molding the propaganda narrative - that unarmed black men are being killed by the police in the 100's. Except their data shows that 'only' about 30 unarmed black men are killed every year on average. In the whole country 'only' about 1,200 people total are killed in police encounters each year - or rather killed by the police during a police encounter. I have heard that there are about 10 million interactions with citizens & the police each year. What is the percentage of death then when interacting with the police? And as noted what stupid thing do you have to do to get yourself killed? The society as a whole is being lied to - and therefore people cannot agree on the facts anymore. That is a very dangerous place to be as a society.

It's interesting to see how political ideology affects the perception of police overreach. But some very important data is missing from the original study. The victims (those killed by police) are categorized by racial proportion, but the police are not. The same standards of scrutiny should be applied to both sides. Because this critical data is missing it's impossible for us to draw any conclusions as to whether or not these incidents should be considered racially motivated.

Facts? They don't want to hear any "facts". They will only be happy when there is total turmoil and chaos. It's what they do, it's what the game plan is. Chaos, destruction and mayhem! Facts, be damned!

"Unarmed" is a very misleading concept. Unarmed is absolutely NOT equal to "undangerous". In many cases the violent attacker outweighs the police officer by a LOT and is very bulked up and strong, very likely to overwhelm the officer in a hand-to-hand struggle or wrestling match. That is really going on most of the time is a struggle over the officer's gun, and who gets to use it on the other.
And officers know from their training that if a criminal is able to overpower an officer and get is gun, the officer will be murdered with the weapon. This happens about 8 or 10 times per year, or about one third to one half the number of 'unarmed' blacks killed by police officers. So, taken in that light, the fight over the officer's gun, which is what this really is, runs about 1/2 to 2/3 dead bad guys and 1/3 to 1/2 dead officers.
Regardless of the Enemedia and Ben Crump's lies, these are NOT 'good boys', almost all are vicious, very violent criminals trying to murder the officer.

Blacks have now been declared an endangered specie and any harm or violence committed on them will be punishable by law and retribution of BLM, Antifa and SJWs.

Total number of arrests in 2019: 10,000,000
Total number of people shot by police in 2019: 1021
Total number of black people shot by police in 2019: 241.....which is about 25%, which seems low, considering that they accounted for 56% of violent crime in 2019. Whites account for 41% of violent crime, yet accounted for 457 or 44% of people shot by police, pretty much in direct proportion. Hispanics and "other" accounted for the remainder. Clearly far FEWER blacks are shot by police than whites compared to their participation rate in violent crimes.
And how many unarmed blacks were shot by police in all of 2019? 11. 1 out of 100% of police shootings. Almost literally, "one in a million" arrests in the USA. Actually, one in 909,000 arrests. And again, "unarmed" does not at all mean "innocent" or "undangerous", although that is what the Ben Crump Propaganda Team would have you believe.
This is NOT a real national problem. Deal fairly and individually with each of the 11 cases, and stop this Ben Crump, money driven racist hate fest that the Enemedia is all too happy to assist.

The charts here are great. The first one shows that the more conservative you are, the closer to reality your estimate will be. In 2019 the number was 27. A lot of other charts and explanations make clear how terribly distorted the media narrative is.
