    That number probably doesn’t even count the suicide by cop. Lots of black men do stupid shit to get people to shoot them too, Ive heard it said

      Yep. Twice I’ve had black dudes try to suicide-by-cop on me and twice they failed to achieve it. They apologized afterward, admitting that they assumed the stereotype was true and not only was their death guaranteed but I wouldn’t feel anything about it.

      Both would have likely just been recorded as “attempted murder” on me and “justified shooting” without their words after the fact indicating they were attempting suicide.

          Oof, sorry but you’re about 6 years late, dipshit.

          In your defense Lemmy doesn’t feature “stickying” self-posts like Reddit does so you likely had no idea I had a very contentious background where my agency and peers vilify me for refusing to follow illegal orders.

          But in your offense, you jumped to a lame-brained conclusion so you earned a block for it <3
