Their reaction after sharing the WSJ op-ed by Mac Donald (https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-myth-of-systemic-police-racism-11591119883). I honestly don't know where to go from here. Any tips on explaining to liberal friends?

So her morals are based on lies. According to her, anyone who lies is morally superior than someone who tells the truth because hard data is truth.
LOL. I bet she's never even seen the actual data.
HARD FACT: Hispanics and then black officers are more likely to shoot an unarmed black suspect as compared to a white officer.
Stats for unarmed blacks shot by cops:

Page 32
Definition of OIS (Officer involved shooting) is on page 17
Definition of TPFs (threat perception failures) is on page 30
TPF of white officer against black suspect is 6.8
TPF of black officer against black suspect is 11.4
TPF of hispanic officer against black suspect is 16.7
Aka Hispanics and then black officers are more likely to shoot an unarmed black suspect. The claim that white officers are more likely to kill black suspects is complete bullshit. White cops are the least likely to kill unarmed blacks. (Stats for asian cops isn't available as it's negligible.)
Also even after adjusting for population:

WSJ article on the myth of systematic police racism:
http://archive.is/JDNxE
Blacks commit 52.6% of murders and non-negligent manslaughter and 54.5% of robberies.

2600 blacks were murdered by other blacks in 2018:
https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls
In 2018, 2600 black lives were taken by black offenders. Only 234 black lives were taken by white. 2677 white lives were taken by white offenders. 514 white lives were taken by black. 60% of population is white whereas only 13% is black. What does this tell you?
This is OBJECTIVE raw data. Not some subjective data what media might tell people. Blacks kill their own blacks, whites kill their own whites. If these protestors really cared about "black lives matter", they would be talking about why so many blacks are killing their own people. Same shit for whites. Also more black people targeting white than white targeting black.
What we should be doing is providing more mental health help to cops and stop burdening cops with everything. Watch this Larry Elder video and listen to what the police chief says after 5 minute mark. Don't be part of the problem - be part of the solution. If you think there are issues in policing, join the police youself and help improve it.

This is a great resource, thank you. Presenting more data to an anti-data believer might be difficult, but we'll see how this goes.
