@lain @icedquinn This happens allllll the time. During my university years, there was a case where a guy was working in his business with the backdoor open because he was apparently moving things. A cop found the door open and went inside, saw the guy working at a desk, and shot him in the back, killing him. He was white. Nobody cared but his family, nobody rioted. He was white.

by the way, also this:

Nobody ever actually double checks, or even reads the data, they just cite it and it's loaded with shit.

> Of the 118 “unarmed Blacks” fatally shot by police between 2016 and 2022, for example, the Washington Post data reveals that 51 of those killed were, in fact, attacking police or innocent civilians, 11 made a threatening movement with a visible weapon

> And some of those categorizations don’t tell the whole story. Probationer and registered sex offender Mickel Erich Lewis—killed by police in Mojave, California—is listed as “unarmed” on the Washington Post website with the threat type “move” listed in the GitHub data. In October 2020, Lewis fled from a car during a routine traffic stop, returned to the car and grabbed something, then ran toward the officer with his hand in his waistband when he was shot. A firearm was recovered nearby on scene.
