in the US being killed by police is the sixth leading cause of death for black men,
that is a 1 in 1000 chance, 1 in 2000 for men overall and 1 in 33,000 for women. Think about that, would you fly in an airplane if your odds of dying was 1 in 33,000? (its 1 in 5 million by the way)
have we entered the police state phase of capitalism with privatized prisons and militarized police forces or have we just become a cruel, uncaring society where life is cheap?
