Marcia, if you really want to counter-argue at such a level, the minimal correction factor would IMO be to compare the absolute of black vs cop head count (perhaps add gender as a factor as well...)

Metin can google the numbers as easily as I can.

Or am I missing the sarcasm of your whole post, interpreting the "this" of your second sentence to point to Metins post, whereas you meant it in a recursive and very sarcastic/Dragan-like (sem/ped)antic way to your own post or that sub-thread ??

No sarcasm here. I am sick and tired of the media and our president putting cops lives at risk by painting them as racists and worse. Sure, there are a few bad cops. But generally speaking, most of them are out on the streets every day doing their best to protect us. What our president has done is to make cops less likely to do their jobs. That puts everyone at risk.
