Should we start on "why are cops taught to aim for center mass of the body"?

So much that you do not know or are not divulging re:  police work in general

Any thing to avoid focus on the deadly racism you demand of your public servants to maintain the pale privilege you’ve done nothing to earn.

I will wait as you cite a similar case to the one in Minnesota - where a white cop killed an African American woman.  This was so negligent it will be very very tough for you to do so

More than 57 percent of African American women [in fatal encounters with police] were killed while unarmed; white males were the least likely to have been unarmed when killed at just under 20 percent.     

-- from one of the Washington U. studies in Josh's link

Not sure how much clearer the problem could be.  Almost triple the rate.  We need to keep asking our city officials why our sworn protectors and public servants are using deadly force on unarmed citizens.

Again... case by case
.

Again, self-serving bullshit.

What  evidence would satisfy you that racism is at play?

The deal was made in March. The Prez made a big deal of it this month. And the deal... well, I'll let you tell me how amazing it was in a year.

But you keep plugging the amazing success.

Huh. Who knew!

More pointless posturing followed by misdirection by the Buffoon-in-Chief.

He cancelled the Mexican tarriffs and we all breathed a sigh of relief. And he explained that he got what he was after, which is why he cancelled them. But what he didn't tell us is that he got it in March, but deemed it wasn't good enough, so he held out for more.

And got nothing.

For those who think this warming of the Earth is just part of the normal cycle, a repost:

Why isn't it a normal cycle?  Why did you limit the graph to a time period that is so limited?

Not the biggest fan of the Donald but on the issue of immigration and security he is more right than the dem leadership to the minds of most. Negotiations were ongoing so what? Mexican prez announced it at the same time.

Why isn't it a normal cycle?  Why did you limit the graph to a time period that is so limited?

1880 to the present is the period for which scientists have consistently gathered global climate data.  (but ice cores and analysis of geological strata and fossil composition also helps to unearth longer trends in the past)  Science uses a curve and then extrapolates from that, and compares the curve to other variables than temperature.   It is possible to spot trends when you have over a century of measurements.   This is how our present rise in surface temps and changes in storm systems, seawater temps and currents, glacier and ice cap shrinkage, etc. were all predicted back in the 70s and 80s. 

It's the same scientific method that allows us to know that sunspots have regular cycles, even though we haven't had astronomers with telescopes keeping records for 20,000 years.  Or that whales are mammals that evolved from land based herbivores, even though we don't have time machines that carry us back millions of years.  Inference and extrapolation are basic tools of science, the science you trust when you step onto a jet or undergo brain surgery.   I'll bet, if your daughter needed such surgery, you would choose the neurologist who attended Johns Hopkins, not the science denier who went to Oral Roberts University, College of Faith Healing.
