The Unknowns should be the ones rioting. Them fools getting blasted in 2020.
I, as law enforcement, feel this was wrong and the male strangled was a victim in this case. At a minimum, you'll end up seeing the officer with knee to neck convicted of probably manslaughter.

This is an interesting narrative... wonder how much truth is too it.

There are a lot of different ways to prove intent, and many different standards of intent. Plus, circumstantial evidence is enough to draw an inference of intent. If you kneel on a restrained mans neck with all your weight for 7 min, even as he says he cant breath over and over before going limp, i mean, what other inference can you draw from that?Charged yes, convicted no. You'd have to be able to prove intent. You'll see easier charges through Feds on a civil rights violation.
The thing with this is you gotta look at all the numbers, not just the raw numbers of shootings. Sure, this is an older article, but it explains the point quickly and clearly.
"According to the most recent census data, there are nearly 160 million more white people in America than there are black people. White people make up roughly 62 percent of the U.S. population but only about 49 percent of those who are killed by police officers. African Americans, however, account for 24 percent of those fatally shot and killed by the police despite being just 13 percent of the U.S. population. As The Post noted in a new analysis published last week, that means black Americans are 2.5 times as likely as white Americans to be shot and killed by police officers."
Then there are all the very well documented discrepancies with respect to sentencing, incarceration, day to day police interactions, use of force aside from guns, etc.
That's exactly what I was driving at. But, you also have to break that down further. If blacks make up 13% but are 24% of the shooting deaths, you have to compare that against their percentage of all police encounters, i.e. if they encounter police more, it would be logical they would be a higher percentage of everything from public assists to citations to lethal shootings. Then, we really get into the philosophical elements of the "why" blacks have a higher encounter rate.
And then, before making it about race, you need to know what percentage of the police officers were non-black who fatally shot blacks. What if a majority of the officers who shot black men were, themselves, black men?

But there is also the fact that black america commits more violent crime per capita... So it's only natural that they would more likely interact with police per capita, go to jail per capita or be shot per capita.The thing with this is you gotta look at all the numbers, not just the raw numbers of shootings.
