> A quick gander through Pew polling, actual police stats, victimization reports, and decent research paints a totally different picture than one would form from reading headlines or drowning in Tweets. The percentage of blacks who have a favorable view of police hasn't changed since the 1970s and is significantly lower than for whites. A majority of blacks worry about the police using violence on them or their families. The percentage of unarmed blacks shot by police versus unarmed whites paint a clear picture of racial targeting (and as we've seen the last week, police will lie about someone being armed so the real stats are probably even worse).
