If you look at conviction rates for similar infractions, minorities are far more likely to serve time over a non-minority for the same offense.
This is not true. Differences in conviction and sentencing rates by race are due to differences in the gravity of the criminal offenses, prior records or other legal variables. A 1994 Justice Department survey of felony cases in the country's 75 largest urban areas actually found lower felony prosecution rates for blacks than whites and that blacks were less likely to be found guilty at trial.
Shots are taken a lot faster at a black minority than any other.
Where do you have evidence of this?
It's not like the BLM is saying ONLY black lives matter, it's that they matter the SAME as others.
I referenced black lives matter because if you compare statistics from the FBI and DOJ you will see that demographics of people killed by cops is directly proportional to the demographics of violent criminals in this country. That is cops aren't racist thugs that set out each day with the goal to kill a black person.
Once again, the topic veers...... sheesh.
The 1,217 deadly police shootings from 2010 to 2012 captured in the federal data show that blacks, age 15 to 19, were killed at a rate of 31.17 per million, while just 1.47 per million white males in that age range died at the hands of police.
