It's an odd statistic, and I would have thought bogus, except the WaPo brought this up.
On average....400 blacks (male and female) die each year in drowning episodes. If you use 2019 as the model....15 unarmed (note, meaning no knife or gun on them) blacks were killed by police.....then you as a black guy or gal....ARE 26 TIMEs more likely to drown than get shot by a cop (if unarmed).
I sat and paused over this.
Drownings, if you ever follow the stories....always circle back around to three causes: (1) drinking or drugs, (2) inability to swim, and (3) panic. In the case of inability to swim....this is where most kids end up being dead.
So all these hyped-up folks burning down buildings and staging looting....really doing nothing about the the key method of blacks being dead? Yeah....more or less.
Just something to sit there and be amused about death and how folks can't assemble facts.

It does not fit the narrative they want.
