The latest example of how shaky the "systemic racism" narrative really is comes from media outlets such as and the Short on good, clear examples of unjustifiable brutality, they are now trying to tie the apparently justified police shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant to George Floyd’s death after Chauvin’s trial.
Of the roughly 330 million people living in the United States, 1,021 were shot and killed by police officers in 2020, according to the Washington Post police shooting . Of that number, only 55 were unarmed. Of those 55, 18 were black.
Even those 18 are not clear-cut cases. Fred Brown, for example, was shot he tried to choke one police officer in a confrontation that occurred because his girlfriend reported him for assault. An officer killed Kurt Reinhold after he got into an with police officers and tried to grab one of their guns. In other cases, the shooting death of William Green, the officer was at least charged with murder, so (as in Chauvin's case) it cannot be said that such behavior goes unpunished.
