Besides the fact that police brutality occurs in a very small percentage of cases, it does NOT happen only to Blacks, and it's rarely motivated by racism (which is NOT something that only Blacks are victim of anyway). Despite the fact that Blacks commit the vast majority of violent crimes (which obviously causes Blacks to have way more confrontational interactions with the police than Whites), more Whites are killed by the police each year than Blacks.
A White man who wasn't even a dangerous criminal like George Floyd was, died in the exact same circumstances as Floyd did (officer kneeling on his upper back while the handcuffed White guy tells the officer he's killing him and begs for help, and other officers around doing nothing about it). This happened 10 months ago and there is video of it, but aside some local Dallas residents, very few people around the country even found out about it. Does anyone think that the national TV stations and major media outlets didn't know about it? Of course they did, but they chose not to make a big deal out of it because the story didn't fit the left's 'racism' narrative.
The Dallas case may have been even worse than the Floyd case because the guy called the police himself saying he was scared and off his meds, I don't believe he had committed any crime when he called them, and cops literally MADE JOKES about the White guy and LAUGHED at him once his body went limp on the ground because he was dying or was already dead (link to article and video at the end).
While there may be a few cops of EVERY RACE who are racist against Blacks, or Whites, or Hispanics (I know it's not a race), or any other race/ethnicity, the truth is that police brutality & abuse of power/force is NOT about racism.
Yeah, well, we all know Snopes is part of the leftist brainwashing machine.
They say that in "total numbers" more White than Black people are killed by the police because there are a lot more White than Black people in the U.S., and then they say that, "overall," Black people are "more likely" to be killed by the police than White people. This only makes sense if they mean to say that a higher percentage of the Black population is more likely to be killed by the police than the percentage of the White population. However, while they say that more Whites are killed by police only because Whites supposedly comprise a roughly five times greater share of the U.S. population than Blacks, when they try to say that Blacks are actually "more likely" to be killed by police than Whites, they purposefully fail to mention that a higher percentage of the Black population is more likely to be killed by the police because the percentage of the Black population that commits violent crimes is much higher than the percentage of the White population that commits violent crimes.
Snopes makes the statistics relative to total numbers and percentages of the Black and the White populations in order to make the number of Whites killed by police seem irrelevant, but they don't disclose that, even though Blacks comprise about 13% of the U.S. population, they commit over half (about 52%) of the violent crime in the U.S., which means that Blacks have way more confrontations with the police than Whites and any other race, but regardless of that, more Whites than Blacks are killed by the police anyway.
They just manipulate the truth to make it fit the "racism" narrative as much as possible.

Jeeeeeesus Christ I wanted to look at the data for this and snopes was top hit. Check out how ridiculously biased the article is.

Like let’s start with what we want. And just massage the narrative from there. Full on panicking over facts.
