Black Americans killed by police twice as likely to be unarmed as white people | US news | The Guardian

Thanks for the link Ironmike. The link I provided is the issue I have with law enforcement. The police I've had the pleasure of interacting with have been nothing but polite and respectful *knock on wood*.

I personally don't think it's "open season" on police officers because there's not as much media attention and action being taken as one would like.

If that were the case the same thing could be said about the recent massacre at the African American church (unprovoked and the suspect was taken to get fast food before being booked) or the issue concerning the pregnant Native woman who was shot and killed(officer was let off even though it was proven he had other weapons that were nonfatal and could have been used. She did have a knife and was standing more than a few feet away).
