Think about the statistic I often cite on here.

In the last 4 years, 1,662 black men were killed by cops while 69 black women were shot and killed by cops.

Black men are half the black population, yet an astronomical number of us are incarcerated, so a little less than half of black civilians feeling their life has been endangered by police is actually spot on.

When I say black men feel that pressue even if we don't know the numbers, I'm not just saying that. It's very real.

If it ain't the cops, how often are we ever around homicidal racists?

I don't think I would be either.

I'd be afraid of being unfairly arrested, possibly mistreated. But my first thought prolly wouldn't be, 'I'm finna die if the cops come.'

Different people carry shit different. 48% seems hella plausible to me.

And it also doesn't refute my point which was:

We just saw from the birding video less than a month ago that you're one phone call away at all times from having your whole shit upended

That his case didn't go poorly is an exception and also, not the point.

I could enumerate by highlighting situations such as Tamir Rice or John Crawford

but at 46 my fear of level isn’t nearly as high.

Maybe I’m delusional or maybe I’m just so occupied with my family that I don’t gauge cops the same attention I used to.

i think there's a difference in knowing to expect w/r/t how cops treat black people and actually being afraid of them.
