Are you implying that prison suicides are always genuine suicides? Are you denying that police doesn't commit extreme brutality? How can anyone give a number?

Are you implying that prison suicides are always genuine suicides? Are you denying that police doesn't commit extreme brutality? How can anyone give a number? Sure, one can give a number for suspicious cases but how can anyone say for sure that a given suicide was in fact a murder? Can you always access the actual information regarding what happens in jail? How often do you think Black people are mistreated by police? What are the actual numbers of black people being subjected to police brutality? If you cannot provide the actual numbers, does that mean it doesn't happen at all. I am all for data but many times I feel like people ask for data just for the sake of derailing the otherwise meaningful discussion or because they're trying to be over smart.

Sometimes I feel like people derail a thread because they're presumptuous and read too much into a simple question.
