But I'm talking about the people doing nothing wrong. Not just people in general

But the chance of a random person doing absolutely nothing wrong meeting a cop that wants to kill just for the fun of it is 1 in a billion? probably more than that. A cop killing a person who has done nothing wrong, doesn't mean that the person complied. And it doesn't mean that the cop didn't have the feeling in some way or an other, that he was under threat.

Well give me the statistics to back up your claim then.

How many "people doing nothing wrong" that were black, were killed by police compared to other races?

I don't mean to pick on you, but this is the problem with many of the social issues facing this country today. Too many people simply believe what they hear or see on TV without actually taking the time to do the research themselves.

The main take away from what I posted above should be, Why are 50-75% of all violent crimes in those urban counties committed by black people when they only make up 13-26% of the population of those counties? The underlying cause may be racism, I will admit that, but do not tie police shootings to this. They are two completely separate issues.

Instead of talking about how to reduce the violent crime rates in those communities, we are talking about a false narrative perpetuated by emotion instead of facts.

Again... Doing nothing wrong, doesn't mean they didn't give the cops the feeling they were a threat. You can't tell me that in all these cases, all people did what they were asked to do, remained completely respectful themselves and all that.

Actually, it's the opposite. What the footballers have started is being misinterpreted by police and media. And I've done my research. Just look at the article

As Feniks said, the article... the media... They tell what they want people to know and hear. An article doesn't tell the full story. Never has, never will.

You obviously didn't read my whole post earlier. I acknowledge that blacks make up 13% and yet were the victims of 26% of police shootings.

Read my post again. When you take into account the number of interactions based on the number of crimes committed by the respective population, the numbers completely flip.

You need to understand Research Design and a bit of statistics to understand the comparative analysis you are making, and that is posted on the link you shared, is completely flawed. It is a statistical trick used to further a narrative.
