and the killing sparked enormous protests in towns and cities across the US and spurred urgent calls for sweeping police reform by both lawmakers and activists. Minimal reform has come about yet, amid renewed debate and a reignited Black Lives Matter movement in the US and internationally.The Guardian’s investigative project
the truth hurts.
By failing to acknowledge that facts can be true but both misleading and meaningless, you are failing to encouarge your readers to challenge the merit of all claims Why not face the sad truth that lots of whites die, but go on to explain that the death *rate* for blacks is worse
The people who wrote this should be ashamed of themselves. Fact- 574 whites were killed by police in 2016 vs 266 blacks and 166 Hispanics. Not once did they list the raw data. They used statistics and fuzzy math to trick people into believing Trump lied when he spoke truth
It’s more worrying that he doesn’t appear to care who the police kill.
Trump isn't lying, he's just being economical with the truth, yes number wise more whites are killed by the police but 26% of the population are non white and account for 61% of police deaths so non whites are significantly more likely to be killed by police than whites.
The average lifetime odds of being killed by police are about 1 in 2,000 for men and about 1 in 33,000 for women. Time for anti-male violence by US police to be investigated.
“Twists stats” ? Why did your article not state the stats? Are more whites killed by police? Yes! You did not cite the numbers, because Trump was correct! LMAO Your headline twists the facts. You are a joke
Doesn’t it tell you more of who he really is? Rasist!
Guardian twists stats on police brutality
Amongst the valid points they slip in a lie. They criticise Trump for denying the Bubba Wallace 'noose in the garage ' story was racist. Except it turns out it wasn't a noose at all and similar ropes are in other garages of white drivers. What has happened to editorial control?
Trump should arrest the neoliberal plotters and charge them with terrorism. The evidence of antifa activities in Minneapolis is strong. Many Dem mayors and media people are involved. The rioting is profoundly undemocratic and may be about to get worse.
Is it because there are more white people? DUH!! 🙄
The guardian twists stats even further to a new 'up to' level. Always a sign of the conman. See how this claim is *entirely* untrue
His stats are right. Do your job and check it out ....
Trump is a freak of nature. A nasty piece of work.
When you give people jobs to meet Diversity Quota's based on the colour of their skin or sex, instead of because they are qualified to do a job and have the required skill set! CBBS_Herridge beautifully demonstrating the 'Peter Principle'
That’s the truth, you lying Fraudian.
Nope, the Guardian is 'twisting' stats for narrative effect, yet again. Trump, love or loathe him, is correct when he says that more white people are killed by police. This is an easily verifiable fact. Get your shit together and stop lying to people.
What terrible journalism! I am NOT a Trump supporter but it is a FACT that more white people are killed by police in the USA than black people. It’s just true..
Twisting stats is when you report that black people are more likely to be arrested/imprisoned etc and insinuate that it's the 'institutional' police who are at fault
Another Obama study. 52% white. Just like Obama's firearm study proving that defensive firearm use prevented 3M crimes/yr.
Is it fatalities relative to numbers of people in the population as a whole, or relative to numbers involved in police altercations?
Yes, he did. But if you think about it, he is insisting police kill people wrongly. Apparently, lots of people.
That's not twisting, that's a fact. More white men are killed by the police, regardless of the agents's ethny. Which happens is that the % of black men killed by the police regarding the black population is superior to the % of white men regardimg the white population.
Actually, no he didn’t twist the facts. His statement is true. More mean more. More doesn’t mean as a percentage. I just means more. I’d this was on a stats test you would fail.
lol, Nah. He didn't twist shit. He dropped a verifiable fact, and now you're engaging in narrative control and creating a .exe script for your NPC audience to run. You are the enemy of the people.
Trump is glorifying violence and racial hatred as he has since the CentralParkFive. He’s using the pain of George Floyd’s murder to deflect from 130,000 covid deaths, 45.7 million jobless, and plummeting poll numbers. Don’t take the bait–demand JusticeForGeorge + VoteHimOut!
COULD VERY WELL BE 50% TRUE
Not true.
Black people kill white people 11 times more. They kill other black people 55 times more than white on black murder. 14% of the population commits just about half the murders.
