Bottom line, for the most part white people get it. You do stupid shit (I.E. cover up something in your jacket and keep walking when the cop tells you to stop), you are subject to a bullet in the back. It seems as if our black (I'm not saying African-American because you're one or the other, not both) people haven't figured that out yet.

"If you keep walking when a cop tells you to stop, you are subject to a bullet in the back." Nope. Not at all. In the training of today's cops, that may be the case. That training should be changed. The training is the whole issue. Running from cops doesn't mean the person should be shot. None of us should be ok with living in that type of police state.

I agree with you really also another thing that annoys me is when for example a black person is killed by a police officer people go shouting black lives matter and start a riot i mean its hardly a good example it just adds to the unfortunate stereo type some of the world has for blacks.

Agreed with OP. Nuff said

I would say that these statistics are a lot more related to the point that Black Lives Matter are trying to make, and that they are from a much more reliable source.
[Your first source says FBI statistics aren't very good, but gives no reasoning as to why.]

In 2012, 51 alleged offenders were identified in connection with the 48 law enforcement officers feloniously killed. Of those offenders, the following characteristics are known:
30 of the alleged offenders were white, 16 were black ... [other races follow]

Does this mean that I agree with Black Lives Matter and their methods? No.
Do I think it's a problem that black people are arrested more often for committing the same crimes as white people [3.7 times more likely]? Absolutely.
Do I think it's a problem that black people are convicted more often for the same crimes as white people [51% - 38%]? Absolutely.
Do I think it's solely because of racism that this happens? No.

All lives matter, but white, red, pink, and yellow people aren't the ones being persecuted by the police force in America.
It's not a coincidence that black people make up 13% of the US population and 60% of all those in prison.

Well it kinda depends on the Crime so if they murdered 20 people they shouldn't be shot?

It depends. Do they still have a gun or other weapon? Is there an indication that they intend to harm more people? Cops aren't judges, juries, and executioners. They need to stop acting like it.

No. Police officers have to be fit for a reason, they can run after them.

When a white person kills a black person, it's in the news. When a black person kills a white person (Which does happen by the way) it is not in the news. We (especially the black lives matter group as well) are being fed pound after pound of bullshit by the media and unfortunately these people don't understand that. I'm not saying it's all fake, because it's not. I'm saying that the media is controlling the opinion of the common mind, if that makes sense.

Everyone should be accountable for their actions..

So, do you think that the officers that shoot other people, regardless of race walk away, scotch free?

You need to climb out under the rock your under and join society.

The 'Black Lives Matter' movement started when an officer killed an UNARMED African-American. This would have started something whether he was African-American, Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, etc...

Each race and ethnicity sticks up for each other. Regardless of the situation, would it really have been any different to you if the African-American police officers would have started killing Caucasian men? Would it make a difference if it was the 'White Lives Matter' movement or the 'Asian Lives Matter' movement? No. It would still be in the papers, and on the news. You would still be seeing it.

Everybody thinks differently, I understand it's a Rant. But what do you expect to get over ranting about a sensitive topic in the nation today? Not everybody is going to agree.
