“Am I next?” is one of the moronic placards I see during the “peaceful” protests that have been going for the past week. Getting killed by a cop they say frightens them every day.  “Am I next” in line to be killed by a cop?

Here are some factoids. Over a 3 year period (2009-2012) about 26 unarmed people per year were killed by cops. That’s about 0.000008% of the population of the US on a yearly basis. Oh, wait they would say, blacks are disproportionately killed by law enforcement. There is an inkling of truth to that. About 13 unarmed blacks were killed by cops per year in that 3 year period. That is 5% higher by population than whitey.

But let’s once again put the numbers into perspective.

DEER, yes sweet lovable BAMBI, kill 200 PEOPLE every year. The odds of BAMBI killing you are almost 15 time higher than those of an unarmed black will be killed by cops.

Am I next?

INSECTS kill about 100 people every year. Now, that’s about 8 times higher than blacks killed by cops.

Am I next?

Maybell the COW, kills more than 20 people every year. That’s almost TWICE as many people killed by COWS than unarmed black men killed by cops.  And the odd part of these deaths is that they are believed to be intentional on the part of our cute bovine friends.

Am I next?

Lightning kills about 40 people every year in the US. MORE than THREE times as many people are killed by getting zapped from the skies than unarmed blacks killed by cops.

Am I next?

Here’s another little factoid that should strike fear in the oppressed group.

Of all law enforcement killings a black police officer is 3.5 times more likely to shoot and kill a black man vs. a white man. So if you’re oppressed you’d best head for the hills if you see a poh-poh who has lots of Melanin because obviously he’s SYSTEMICALLY RACIST.

Am I  next?

UPDATE: I updated the numbers as I had originally compared 3 year totals for police shootings with 1 year totals by animals and nature.  The revised numbers show that the Melanin Lives Matter grievance is a myth.  Tucker Carlson of Fox News reported (6/3/2020) that according to the Washington Post database that only 10 unarmed blacks were killed by cops in 2019.  Getting killed by a COW is more than TWICE as likely.

Watch out for COWS.
