> As a black man you are more likely to be killed by a cop than it is likely a cop dies in the line of duty
Same goes for criminals. And this is the mistake in your argumentation. Around 2.2% of black men were imprisoned in 2018 in the US (https://www.statista.com/statistics/252871/imprisonment-rate...). It's not per se outrageous that 5% or so of criminals die in the hands of the police, in a country with major social issues and easy access to dangerous weapons. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
> 43 people shot while carrying fake guns in 2016, as well as the same number in 2015, are based on data compiled by the paper as part of its national database of fatal police-involved shootings. Four of those killed were under the age of 17, and seven were over the age of 55. Of those killed, all but five were men, 54 were white, 19 were black and 11 were Hispanic.
