Honestly, I didn't think I needed to with all the examples we have to point to over the last decade (and more if we want to go back farther). Only severe denial would force someone to prove what is already well discussed and has been a hot topic for so long. But can you ask someone to prove or show examples of unarmed white men and teens getting killed. If that exists as you say at an equal clip, then we haven't discussed it and it would be good to provide us examples on something we haven't discussed vs forcing someone to provide examples on something we've discussed over and over and over again.

I clicked on the NPR link about unarmed black people getting shot. They lost me here...
Quote:This time, the slain man was aspiring Black rapper Willie McCoy, who was asleep in his silver Mercedes CLS500 outside a Taco Bell shortly before 11 p.m. on Feb. 9, 2019. An employee called 911 to report that McCoy was slumped over the steering wheel and blocking the drive-through. When McMahon and other officers arrived — six in all — one of them spotted a semiautomatic pistol in McCoy's lap. As McCoy slowly awoke, he moved his hand to scratch his chest, according to a report by an expert the city hired to review the shooting.

Yea, I'm not sure about that. I wouldn't consider him "unarmed".

No, I'm not providing anything to back or dispute your insane claim that the police only shoot a unarmed white person once every decade or so. You made the absurd claim, the onus is on you to prove it. I did provide solid statistical data that shows that claiming someone was "unarmed" does not mean they weren't a threat.

Then mace them, taze them, shoot the in the knee etc. Poor police training when you have multiple cops vs 1 unarmed black man/teen and they feel the need to kill them because they are a threat (with no weapons).
Or are you saying black men/teens pose a threat when unarmed and white men/teens don't?

So now you're moving the goalposts. Now that "unarmed" isn't an option for your argument you change the narrative. Also, your second post is just silly. You're rapidly becoming the TommyC of the left (and I don't say that lightly) and I've come to the conclusion that further engagement is a waste of time and effort.

FFS sake I don't have time to list article after article for you. Google is your friend. Just type in "Unarmed white male/female shot by police" It's really easy.

Maybe he's just going off something he heard in an interview with some guy one time.

"Unarmed" has been my only argument..... I believe I've made that clear throughout this thread.
