Uhhhh.....those numbers don’t sound right. Both sound way high. I remember one stat from a couple of years ago where it was, like, 9 blacks killed by cops and 16 whites killed by cops. I don’t remember the precise numbers, but both were WAY less than 500 or 300.
Spez: apparently I’m confusing “armed” vs “unarmed” deaths.
Both statistics are misleading though. That dude that knocked two cops down tried to tase them was "unarmed", and they'll include stuff like a drunk driver ramming a cop car as "killed by cops".

Those are probably unarmed numbers.
500-700 killed by cops a year on average.

He literally was armed with a taser - he shouldn’t be counted in that number.
