Tony Timpa. Daniel Shaver. Justine Damond. David Ward. Should I keep going? BLM is bullshit. More whites killed by cops than blacks. Charlemagne was a white King and emperor. Lose the name. Maybe try King Adanzodan. ;)
Tony Timpa and Daniel Shaver are both great examples. I'd use Justine Damond too, except she actually managed to get decent national coverage being that she was a woman and therefor a member of an "underprivileged group" kill by police (if she had been a white male, I doubt the case would've gotten 1/10th the coverage). Still, it's good to point out that it took EIGHT MONTHS for her killer to even be charged, compared to the 3 days it took for Floyd's killer to be charged while everyone shouted about "justice denied".
David Ward though I would avoid using as an example. According to articles about it, he had reported his vehicle as stolen days prior, somehow managed to get the vehicle back but didn't inform police, when an officer spotted the vehicle on the move and attempted to pull it over, Ward for some reason initiated a chase, then once pursuing officers caught up to him in a dead end and pitted the car, they ordered him out of the vehicle and he conveniently "had difficulty" opening the door, so they attempt to drag him out through the window, at which point Ward for some reason bites the officer's hand...dude did every goddamn thing wrong from start to finish. An argument can certainly be made that excessive force was applied, but it's in no way as cut and dry an example of unnecessary brutality as Timpa and Shaver.
Yes.
If you're arrested for a violent crime, a white person is 33% more likely to be killed by the cops than a black person.
Axualey mathematically a black person is 25% less likely to be killed by cops during arrest than a white person.
Yes. Make sure to tweet to Charlemagne:

Tbf, they did mention the Damond case (Although not her name)/they complained that her murderer was convicted.
