51. 21 times more likely isn't a stereo type it is fact, and there's no "perceived" anything it's been..

...well documented and reported on.

There's no equivocating blacks killing cops like cops killing black men so no...

The cops statement doesn't make sense in light of the fact that black\brown men are 21 times more likely to be shot by cops

That doesn't justify killing anyone, just states the fact; cops are loose with the trigger when it comes to blacks \ browns
