With everyone having tunnel vision about just the Black Victims of police brutality, I think its important we highlight some of the non-black victims.
To be clear Blacks are disproportionately targeted and that does need to be part of the conversation. But this isnt a black issue, 75% of unarmed victims killed by police are white. This is an issue that effects us all of any race. Here are some of those victims, unarmed whites murdered by police.
Rhogena Nicholas - Killed by gunshot
Dennis Tuttle - Killed by gunshot
Jason Lewis - Killed by beating
Virgil Reynolds - Killed by gunshot
Regina Twist - Killed by taser in custody
Thomas Burns - Killed by gunshot
Dylan Papae - Killed by gunshot
Seth Victor - Killed by Taser
Francis Calonge - Killed by gunshot
And many thousands more
@penny You are welcome to your opinion. To me it appears you are the one who is tone deaf. Oh well.
@penny Call it tone deaf all you want but tone aside, you cant solve a problem if you have tunnel vision on only one symptom of the larger problem.
@penny Again it is not a discussion of racial inequality wholly, that is one very important aspect of what is going on. But it can not be viewed with blinders on to the whole of the issues at play. If you do so you wont solve the problem.
No one is suggesting the racial issue should be ignored or down played. Only that solutions must see the whole of the problem and not just have tunney vision for one aspect of it.
@penny and what you have misread is that it absolutely isnt.
Clearly we disagree. Just stating it over and over again wont get either of us anywhere.
