[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1428744, member: 20599"] Ok, so the US pop went from 200mil to 300mil. Then we'd expect to hear about just 1.5x the number of police-involved shootings as in 1967. I'd be willing to bet we are "hearing" (and "seeing", and reading about) far more than can be explained away by a simple rise in population. Moreover, per your stats, the increase in the white pop has been greater than the increase in the black population. Yet, I don't think the news stories (or stats) support that there's been a disproportionate rise in cops killing [u]white[/u] folks. People in poor communities (especially poor minority communities) say that this has been going on since, well, forever; and that we luckier folk are just now learning of the issue. Is that true? Or have cops become much more inclined to use lethal force? [/QUOTE]
