And then I had another uglier thought. I wouldn’t know where to begin but I’m fairly certain some of the number crunchers around this place would know what to look for and how to apply the data to answer my question that makes me want to puke as I think I know the answer but can’t prove it.
So the question. Is an African American man more likely to die in combat with a foreign enemy than he is to die in his own country at the hands of law enforcement? You can do it by current year to date or by the entire time America has been at war in the southwest Asia theater. Might as well toss in the Vietnam war too. Perspective and all that. Maybe we’re getting better at this over time. I don’t think so. My god I think we’re going backwards…
I sincerely hope this breaks the camel’s back.
