This is such a bizarre comment. We know that blacks are over-represented 2x in police shootings according to https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2016/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shoo... This happens because police have a higher propensity of interacting with black people. So, while LEOs have a consistent rate of shooting people regardless of race, black people are over-represented in police shootings: in 2016 28% of police shootings were against black people, yet they only made up 14% of the population. It's perfectly legitimate for the guy to feel angst about being shot. Edit: ignore following piece, I misread what he meant > But if he's worried about being shot regardless of skin color, things look less peachy (compared to other countries) This just reads like "Hey, stop aggravating for a better life, at least it's not as shitty as Brazil." You can't just delegitimize people's real, fixable problems because the same problem is worse elsewhere--in a land far away that the average person has so incredibly little power of ever affecting.
