I’ve seen plenty of social justice nimrods spewing variations of this remark all over, especially since the murder of Freddie Gray and the subsequent and ongoing protests and riots in Baltimore, MD. The media is more than happy to race bait you with the murders of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and now Freddie Gray, but they’re not quick to report on the non-black people who are being killed by police (and yes, I get that Trayvon Martin wasn’t killed by a cop).

According to killedbypolice.net, here’s the approximate tally of killings by cop, divided up by race just in this year so far:

148 white people



107 black people



56 latino



4 asian



4 native american



There are countless others from different races, and ones whose race are undetermined, and probably a number of others whose killings have gone publicly unreported.

This debate about which race gets killed more is absolutely bananas, because it doesn’t fucking matter. What matters is that people are getting killed by police period. But keep race baiting, and being willfully ignorant - I’m sure that pat on the back you’re regularly giving yourself feels really good while you stroke your own ego at the same time, you Internet pretend hero.
