I bet the fatality statistics of police shootings mentioned are distorted as usual. Apples are compared with oranges or in other words, e.g. the circumstances of the fatal shootings were not the same or not even similar.
When the ideology is blatantly espoused by an elite university like Columbia U really reeks! Uppercase B like in Black versus lowercase w like in white! Very disturbing!
To insinuate that police officers shoot significant numbers of innocent citizens is grotesque! This is demagoguery!
How many of these "tragic cases" actually happen as implied by Columbia U? I bet these are very few such cases and perhaps these individuals indeed made serious mistakes (perhaps under the influence of alcohol, drugs etc.) when a police officer stopped them! Every American knows very well when a police officer stops you, you better not make any foolish mistake or it might be your last mistake ever!
What are the racial stereotypes Columbia U is trying to present to the public? Their own stereotypes? It looks like it!
How often are possible black suspects versus possible white suspects shot by police (white and black officers) in known crime ridden areas?
How often do black police officers shoot possible black suspects vs. white police officers under similar circumstances? Perhaps, black officers know better? White officers hesitate more for afterwards being accused of racial bias?
"Unarmed Black civilians [???] are three times more likely [???] to be shot and killed by police officers than unarmed white civilians [???] in the U.S. In tragic cases in recent years, unarmed Black men holding innocuous objects like a wallet, cell phone, or vape pen were killed by police officers because those objects were misidentified as weapons. These split-second fatal mistakes, often under ambiguous and stressful conditions, have sparked urgent debates about their causes and how to fix them."
