It is well documented that it is in fact an epidemic of cops killing unarmed blacks.

Where do you get this stuff? That's a real question: what news or information source has told you that there is an "epidemic" of cops killing "unarmed black men"?

Know your sources:

National Review bias rating is Right.

The National Review, a magazine which some have called the "bible of American conservatism," has a far right bias. One of the National Review’s core convictions is that centralized government should solely exist to protect citizens’ lives, liberty and property. Describing itself as libertarian, it beleives all other activities of government tend to diminish freedom and hamper progress. The National Review was given an AllSides Bias Rating™ of far right, a rating with which a majority of community members agree.

So? They have a #### ton of references in their piece, with links and everything. In fact, at least two of them are to data from the Washington Post, which you surely cannot think is "Right".

So clicky clicky - follow the source material. Don't just reject out of hand because you don't happen to like National Review.

I made it in about 5 minutes. She comments how she can't comprehend people voting against their own self interest. I've often felt that way about voters in north eastern us urban areas. Continually voting for democrats while they remain mired in poverty and crime ridden neighborhoods.

Your own link was the LA Times. a Place almost as biased as the New York Times and known purveyor of untruths ,exaggerations, and fake news.
You are a funny guy. Always amusing, and nearly always wrong.
You are being played.
Played by the people who want to keep you on the reservation, and you seem to enjoy it.

Sorry. More fail. The vast majority needed shooting....as the study shows.

The first step of our analysis was to provide an in-depth understanding of deadly police shootings on a national scale. Table 1 displays the characteristics of the 990 police fatal shootings that occurred in the United States in 2015.17 Most civilians shot and killed were male (95.8%), White (50.0%), and between the ages of 25 and 34 (31.4%; mean = 36.7). Slightly less than half of these deadly shootings occurred in the South (42.8%). The overwhelming majority of civilians shot and killed were armed with a deadly weapon (82.4%),18 but it should be noted that 93 civilians (or 9.4%) were unarmed. Nearly three fourths of these civilians were attacking the officer(s) or other civilians at the time of the deadly shooting—either firing a gun (27.7%), attacking officers without a gun (e.g., physically assaulting them, 15.7%), or pointing/brandishing a gun (30.4%). Less severe threats to officer/public safety included brandishing or refusing to drop nongun weapons (16.5%) and furtive movements (3.5%).

Are you trying to say that NBC isn't biased? Because I can flat prove to you that they are. Regardless:

You linked to a Google search that was supposed to "prove" that cops killing unarmed black men was an "epidemic". The third result on that search was a piece saying it's not. National Review got the information for their story from WashPo, which is a highly left-leaning publication.

So I'm waiting for you to refute the data given by WashPo, which was the source of a top result in *your own* search criteria.

Or did you not actually look at the results of your search and now you're busted being dumb?

If we could go back in the past to the days of Kings and Queens, and Dukes and Earls and such we would see that these people kept people around to entertain them.
Entertainment has always been around to break the boredom.
If Sap were around in those days he would be the Kings Fool.
A prominent position in the Kings servitude.
