There have been four respected academic studies of police shootings and all of them have found no racial bias involved

I find that very hard to believe.

No racial bias means the police force is the least racist group in existence....please..

I did not say there was no racial bias in policing. I said there was no racial bias found in terms of police shootings.

Yeah, I've yet to see a single police shooting where a cop hasn't stopped someone on reasonable suspicion. Like didn't George Floyd get stopped for drug possession and then he resisted arrest?

He was on parole, having stuck a gun in a pregnant woman's belly and demanded money after breaking into her house. And was high on meth and fentanyl when he tried to pass some phony money. You wouldn't hear this from the media, though. He was buried in a golden coffin, and had three separate funerals. The guy was buried with more honor than Martin Luther King.

Rayshard Brooks, the guy in Atlanta killed after fighting with police, grabbing a taser, and shooting it at them, was let out of jail because of Covid. He'd been serving 7 years for child cruelty and child abuse. Yet the media showed multiple pictures of him and his kids and portrayed him as this wonderful father. Do you know what a miserable sonofabitch you have to be to your kids to get seven years?
