I don't know man. I'm not in the habit of doing other people's research. You threw out a bunch of stats so I asked you to back it up.

For statistic nerds.
Lets not ignore the facts to posit sensationalist myths. You are far more likely to be murdered or robbed by someone you know from your own race than a random person from a different race.

I live in such a community. Property crime is rampant in my city, which eventually gives way to murder. Such is the price paid when thousands of jobs are displaced and the replacement jobs are fewer and pay less.
Just another reason we need a universal basic income.

I'm driving so I just pulled up the site quick. I don't know if it's the exact same stats but it would have to be similar.

...Of course, that beautiful $350,000 house you showed me would cost 2 million here.

Ha, I wish! My parents are victims of the system as well. Bad decisions are one thing. Uneducated decisions are another.
Current residence is result of a bamboozled private sell. But even though the place is falling down around us I am happy knowing how lucky I am compared to others.
And I would never move north of DC. There’s far too much risk living that far north if you are broke. At least down here I can disappear into the woods and survive if **** hits the fan.

Indeed. The closer you live to the woods the safer you will be when something serious goes down. COVID has fully convinced me of it.

We're not going to get stuck in this loop again, where someone contradicts something and you cryptically claim it proves you right but never elaborate on how/why.
The photo shows how someone can be "shot in the back" despite being a threat. How significant that is is subjective, but it would seem to show that "shot in the back" does not mean the person was harmless. That's the thing that requires a response.

Personally don’t think there’s any rationalization for committing any kind of crime. Even if I were broke I would never steal let alone murder someone.

Can you explain your post, what new evidence makes you say that? (I'm not disputing it, btw)
I was referencing the top paragraph of Yodas post about John McClane ducking any response. I should have deleted the bottom part.
and I did look too...While I'm here, I will say it's easy for me to see how a cop in the situation these cops were in, could aim their gun as the suspect was shooting at them with the taser and then the suspect turns as they fire on him, thus hitting him in the back.
In addition to that, I believe it's police procedure to shoot a fleeing suspect who has fired at the cops. So if the shot was in the back or the front it doesn't matter. From what I understand of the incident, the cops were justified in shooting under the circumstances. Though they still should not have shot in today's hyperbola charged environment.
IMO the suspect in Atlanta killed himself.
