Yes thank you I couldn’t think of who he was. I just remembered the news about him
I know what he did. My spellcheck error was established a few hours ago.

I think you are wrong. I don’t think It is Sap, but always good to have other views, even if we don’t agree with them. Whether same, or not, it is good to have a political barometer. I truly despise hypocrites. You have changed your forum name, as did I over our time here.

No, dear. There is a disparity in the way regular people are treated vs. how celebrities and powerful people are treated. It has nothing to do with race.
If you want to argue that we should all receive the same justice, I'm right there with you. But if you want to argue that it's racial, you fail.
Sure. My fee for personal web search services is $10,000 per hour. How would you like to pay?

As i stated above that is not the case. Per capita, black people are killed more frequently at the hands of police, receive harsher treatment and tougher sentencing.
Felicity Huffman is firstly white which is why she received the sentence she did.
"Majorities of both black and white Americans say black people are treated less fairly than whites in dealing with the police and by the criminal justice system as a whole
Black adults are about five times as likely as whites to say they’ve been unfairly stopped by police because of their race or ethnicity
White Democrats and white Republicans have vastly different views of how black people are treated by police and the wider justice system
Nearly two-thirds of black adults (65%) say they’ve been in situations where people acted as if they were suspicious of them because of their race or ethnicity, while only a quarter of white adults say that’s happened to them.
Victims were majority white (52%) but disproportionately black (32%) with a fatality rate 2.8 times higher among blacks than whites."
Please show me the last time a white person was killed by police over selling loose cigarettes or a fake $20
10 things we know about race and policing in the U.S.
Black adults are about five times as likely as whites to say they’ve been unfairly stopped by police because of their race or ethnicity.

Deaths Due to Use of Lethal Force by Law Enforcement: Findings From the National Violent Death Reporting System, 17 U.S. States, 2009–2012
Several high-profile cases in the U.S. have drawn public attention to the use of lethal force by law enforcement (LE), yet research on such fatalities is limited. Using data from a public health surveillance system, this study examined the characteristics ...

Yes it is a Class Issue, NOT a Race Issue
I'm sure Serena Williams would get the same treatment or better

Victims were majority white (52%) but disproportionately black (32%) with a fatality rate 2.8 times higher among blacks than whites. Most victims were reported to be armed (83%); however, black victims were more likely to be unarmed (14.8%) than white (9.4%) or Hispanic (5.8%) victims. Fatality rates among military veterans/active duty service members were 1.4 times greater than among their civilian counterparts. Four case subtypes were examined based on themes that emerged in incident narratives: about 22% of cases were mental health related; 18% were suspected “suicide by cop” incidents, with white victims more likely than black or Hispanic victims to die in these circumstances; 14% involved intimate partner violence; and about 6% were unintentional deaths due to LE action. Another 53% of cases were unclassified and did not fall into a coded subtype. Regression analyses identified victim and incident characteristics associated with each case subtype and unclassified cases.

Unlike my post yours doesnt take into account "per capita"
Your chart doesnt mean anything if you dont include the percentage of the total population made up by each race.
There are more white people than black people in this country
ah no you are spinning the facts to support YOUR World View Sapidus
SO What ......
MORE White People are on Welfare, but Democrats always trot out some Inner City POC when they want MORE Money for Welfare

How is putting your chart in context spinning?
If 5 black people are killed and 5 white people but there are a total of 75 whites and 25 blacks doesn't that show you something is going on?
This white person was killed for reporting a crime:
Killing of Justine Damond - Wikipedia
This white person was killed for not being able to crawl and pull his pants up at the same time:
