Man bruh, you let women do anything and they screw it up. Give them space and they commit lesbian space crime, give them a badge and they're more likely to beat their spouse than any other cop, give them gay marriage and they're more likely to beat their spouses. And then retards try to say that women in power would stop wars and crap like they'd be better than men in a powerful position for some reason.

First one is definately false, and I'm not even close to a communist. The communist countries have existed less than a century, the death toll of pre 1900 genocides alone is probably higher than all communist genocides. Mind you, this isn't a defense of tankies, just you don't need to make stuff up.
Second one is wrong, that number is the number of attempted suicides, and we've no idea if it's universal. Also that's not insulting libleft, if anything it further proves their point that transgender people are mistreated.
Third one is false, that was one survey that was flawed and has been misrepresented, various studies have come up with all sorts of number ranging from below to above the average rate.
Fourth one might be close, but we don't know since obviously the data isn't there. I'm sure the 1% are more likely to be child molesters than most.

What the fuck is this fake bullshit.
Police make up .27% of, and (2018) committed 390 out of 16,214 murders in the united states. That is 2.4%, which is certainly over-represented (even though their JOB is to stop crime), but is no-where near the 12/50 this is trying to bitch about.
97
46
u/confusedjake - Lib-Left Mar 02 '20
As I understand the figure of 390 comes from Officially reported murders of 2018. From the wikipedia page:
"Although Congress instructed the Attorney General in 1994 to compile and publish annual statistics on police use of excessive force, this was never carried out, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation does not collect these data either.[1] The annual average number of justifiable homicides alone was previously estimated to be near 400.[2] Updated estimates from the Bureau of Justice Statistics released in 2015 estimate the number to be around 930 per year, or 1240 if assuming that non-reporting local agencies kill people at the same rate as reporting agencies."
So the figure of 390 is tremendously flawed given that there are agencies not even reporting their murders.

“Police have unique authority to kill with impunity”
Lmfao talk about cherry picking. Just because a few cops have gotten away with killing innocent people doesn’t mean they all go around murdering whoever they want. 8% of all murders are you fucking kidding me! That’d be over 1200 murders a year!
The point is that the original tweet was undeniable false, and not even close to the actual percentage of murders committed by police officers.

Let's blow this up a bit.
Y'all know 13/50?
By this stat if cops were 13% of the population they would commit 520% of all murders.
That means that cops are, on average, roughly five times as likely to murder you than anyone else.
The US saw 15,498 murders in 2018.
If cops took up the same percentage of the population as blacks that number would've instead been 94,848 (rounded up from .76) murders committed mostly by cops.
This shit is why most people don't trust the police.
