    You’re conflating numbers. Not all people killed by police are illegitimate killings. Most are justified. 3 out of 4 are the result of the person shooting at police first. The number of illegitimate or unnecessary police killings is hard to know. The data is full of noise. So you’re comparing apples to Volkswagens.

    Let me help simplify this:

    So if there were a thin yellow line at the Amazon warehouse in LA you'd be okay with removing safety equipment in Colorado? 

    So you're not willing to put anything at risk to solve the problem? 

    Why won't you be part of the solution? 

    You want to disarm police because you don’t think that police killed on duty each year matter. So they don’t need do be able to defend themselves. You’ve covered your opinion pretty thoroughly.

    You said police lives are not important, or less important.

    Nice try at deflection. Loggers and roofers absolutely should take safety precautions. That’s not relevant to police safely.

    So only faux outrage for the special class? Interesting viewpoint.

    It’s a catch 22. You can’t have open borders and generous social systems. You have to choose one or the other.

    How about underground railroad murals? If this was copied in a garage would it similarly offend you?

    Agreed. This is going off the deep end. Poor form and poor judgement.

    It’s just the response of a child on display. Some millennials grew up without ever having to experience ideas they’re uncomfortable with. So they revert to the responses of a child. Like this, “her barbie dolls are stupid” nonsense from Bradley.

    The hatred is strong in this millennial.

    And the probability of an innocent person being killed by a cop is less than any of those. So... why do you care about a few deaths. If a low probability deaths don’t matter? Why the faux outrage? 

    Bank robbery or attempted bank robbery happens almost every day. For example today: https://www.jsonline.com/story/communities/lake-country/2021/06/29/oconomowoc-ongoing-police-incident-occurring-tuesday/7801970002/

    Far more white people in every category are killed by police. Less as a percentage of population, but far more overall. It just doesn’t drive clicks, so it’s not generally covered by the media. They all matter. But they aren’t all good at selling advertising.

    Why don’t you become a police and do it the right way? 

    Weird irrelevant comparison. But let’s go with it anyway. If 6 commercial planes crashed per year, would you still fly? If only 6 people at amazon warehouses were killed each year, would you still consider it a safe place? If only 6 kids were murdered at kindergarten each year - still put your kid in kindergarten?

    Do you think one offsets the other?
