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.

Again with the generalizations, this time referring to blacks. There are blacks who comply with the police and nothing happens. How do you quantify how many blacks actually feel the way you describe?

Secondly, if someone is running away, the officer is less likely going to panic because in this context, the one running away is not the aggressor. This is different in a scenario where a person charges at an officer with a knife, where the knife wielder is indeed the aggressor. There are also rules that prohibit officers from exercising excessive force and if excessive force does occur, then that officer will be put to court.
