They don't just shoot people running at them, they also shoot at people running away from them.

And even if most cops don't do it, many black people will still know that it does happen and will be scared and instinctively try to flee.

You provided a report showing one cop shooting a person running away. 'They' is plural. Why do I have to go over this again?

You also made the same mistake of making a generalization from a single incident. Prove to me that the cited incident is representative of what the police does in general.

There, I gave you another example. So now it's plural. And did you read the end of my phrase? I mentioned most cops not doing it, but blacks know that there are some cops that do it, and blacks know that, so when they see police they might panic and generally act in a different way than they normally would, and of course that could cause the police officer to panic as well, and when they have a gun they're probably going to use that as it's the most lethal.
