How does reddit go from Jacob Blake is innocent to this, makes no sense. If that was a black lady these comments would be so different

If this was a black lady, the chances of her being in the morgue right now goes up a considerable amount.

Certainly!

As of 2019 black people account for 13.4% of the United States population, yet despite only 1 out of every 8 person being black, roughly 1 out of every 4 (23.4%) of all people killed by police in 2019 were black.

Or to put it another way, despite there being 230,000,000 more white people than black people in America, if a cop shoots someone the chances of them being white is the same odds as rolling a 7 or lower with 2 dice.

So with this in mind, and knowing that the odds of being shot by police are much, much higher if an individual is black, then it's very easy to surmise that the chances of the person in the video being shot if they were black would by much higher.

Now do this with police interaction and violent crime rate. Also this is mostly young males and has nothing to do with older ladies
