He's not the only one. There are stats by race and other factors on police killing people.

If you're a KKKop, you're roughly 8 - 12% more likely to kill a white person than a black one. But white people make up over 70% of the population. If you're a Black person, you're something like 400% as likely to get killed by a KKKop than if you're white.

If you're a young, Black male, you're many times more likely to be stopped, searched, charged, convicted, arrested, assaulted, killed, and/or imprisoned than if you're a young white male.

The usual KKKopsucker response to this is that the young Black men are the ones committing all the crime. But that doesn't hold up either.

We only have stats on closed cases. KKKops only ever close about 1 in 3 serious crime cases. And a whole lot of those few who they arrest and charge turn out to be false charges. That's why we have The Innocence Project.

Black people are vastly more likely to be killed by the police than whites, but there are also more white than black people in America. If you gave enough of a shit to think about this for more than a second it would become quite clear. If you're not willing to do that, then shut the fuck up

It’s hard to make new friends. 🥺 I’m kind of sociable but I’ve done it by going to bars I feel comfortable in and by socializing a lot at work. Your stuck with these people 8 hours a day so might as well get to try to know some of them. You’re always welcome to message me on here !

It’s really only been 100 days? A buddy of mine works in their printing and I feel like I’ve been receiving nearly daily updates for about 6 months.

This is remarkably braindead, even for you

Contractors get a lot of work at the mills. Or at least they did when upgrades were still planned, or when stuff caught fire.

$4500 for rent is insane.

>The genesis of these skewed perceptions is the media.

That's not true. The media generally only picks up on these stories when the community forces them to. The murder occurred on Jan 7th. Memphis authorities didn't decide to fire or charge the murderers until after they found out that there was video of the whole incident that was outside of their control.

There is absolutely nothing unusual about what they did. We all know it, especially the KKKops. We're only hearing about it because there was video outside of their control. They only fired and charged the murderers because they knew the video was about to be released.

>So same color racism does exist?

Yes. If a Black person follows procedures/policies/training/etc. that are rooted in racism. Although it's the difference between systemic racism vs a more blatant sort of racism.

Systemic racism is tricky, because it doesn't involve wearing polo shirts or klan hoods and carrying around tiki torches chanting "we will not be replaced" or some other BS. The systemic variety can be simple prejudice, profiling, or that sort of thing. The only way to combat it is awareness, and spreading that awareness is a fine line to walk as the receptive audience already gets it and those who need to hear it tend to get defensive (especially when the communication is coming from a stranger yelling in your face).

It’s relative to income and quality of the rental. If I made $500,000 a year and wasn’t planning to be in Pittsburgh long, needed to live in lawrencville and the place was new and very very nice, and I want to live a high end lifestyle throwing a ton of money away on a rental: it makes sense.

I'm into board games, video games, hiking, trying out new restaurants. Idk what else really. I need ideas on things to try

There's cases galore of police abusing their power in all sorts of ways against non peoples of color, and getting away with it... where's their protests?

This city has moved on. All the steel workers who couldn’t adjust moved to North Carolina a long time ago.

What are you into?

Swissvale is right there in Regent Square. I would think at least that northernmost part counts.

Hey, we found the only person who likes the usual Pittsburgh weather.

He has a fun history.

Good take

There it is, I was like "how has no one said ledgends?" Its so fucking good.

When I was a tax auditor for the state, I had to turn down coffee/bottled water countless times. I wasn't going to risk my job for a $2 bottle of Deer Park water but I wasn't going to decrease a deficiency for one either.

This is a common sense change.
