Police Kill More Whites (46 percent) than Blacks (24 percent)

Police Violence is Directed Against Working People and Youth of all Racial and Ethnic Backgrounds

"Data collected by the Washington Post records 6,214 police killings in the period between January 2, 2015 and April 14, 2021. The victims are overwhelmingly male (95 percent) and predominately white (46 percent). Blacks make up the second largest group (24 percent), followed by Hispanics (17 percent), Asians (1.6 percent), Native Americans (1.4 percent) and all others (0.7 percent). The average age of a police violence victim is 37. In more than one in five cases the person who was killed was exhibiting signs of mental illness."

Why is no one listening to the poor when they have been complaining about police brutality for generations? Why is no one listening to the truth, and only lies?

Police violence is directed against working people and youth of all racial and ethnic backgrounds

The unending epidemic of police murder is an outgrowth of the rotten social and economic conditions which define life in the United States.
