  • Interesting poll (Feb2021) on # of unarmed blacks people believe are killed

    https://www.skeptic.com/research-cen...-CUPES-007.pdf

    More than 25% of liberals thought it was over 1000 (it was < 40).
    On average, liberals thought more than half of people killed by police were black. (It's around a quarter)

      Going by that PDF, the only ones that might not need a reality check are mildly conservative.

        I heard something about this the other day. Apparently, on any given year the number has been between a dozen and a hundred.

        I wonder if anyone has done a study on how many cops are shot and killed by blacks.

        Yet statistically, young black males account for half of the crime so if only a quarter of those killed are black that is yet more evidence (as if it were needed) that in reality a white person runs a higher risk of getting killed in a confrontation with police than is a black person.

            You noticed that too. In nearly every news story Blacks are capitalized whereas whites are almost never capitalized (unless it begins a sentence)

                That is a truism.

                Read what Augustine among others say about Mathemagicians... er, mathematicians.
                But ignore that at that time, a mathematician was what we would now call an astronomer.

                  Reminds me of a poll this last year that revealed liberals were most likely to absurdly overestimate the risk of hospitalization andbrisk of death of Covid.

                  They listen to an echo chamber of their herdmasters and have little to no concept of reality.

                        They love to blame the rightwing faction for misinformation, yet polls continually show otherwise.

                          That's because the only thing we ever hear about in the media are blacks shot by the police.
