DEAR EDITOR:

Below are actual, verifiable facts released by Statista Research in March, that can be looked up in minutes regarding the number of people shot to death by police by race, 2017 to March.

White: 457 (2017); 399 (2018); 370 (2019); 457 (2020); 50 (2021, to date); 1,733 (total).

Black: 223 (2017); 209 (2018); 235 (2019); 241 (2020); 30 (2021, to date); 938 (total).

Hispanic: 179 (2017); 148 (2018); 158 (2019); 169 (2020); 20 (2021, to date); 674 (total).

Other: 44 (2017); 36 (2018); 39 (2019); 28 (2020); 1 (2021, to date); 148 (total).

Unknown 84 (2017); 204 (2018); 202 (2019); 126 (2020); 112 (2021, to date); 728 (total).

Are you shocked? Should all Americans see these facts and truth? Who should be protesting, rioting, looting and burning down our cities now?

What would happen if the “free press” does what they used to?

Show this to everyone you know. Send it to all other media nationally so they can expose it.

So, are you going to be part of the problem or become part of the solution? If not, good luck sleeping!
