"These shootings are grossly under­reported"

Fatal Police Shootings In 2015 Approaching 400 Nationwide

By Kimberly Kindy, and reported by Julie Tate, Jennifer Jenkins, Steven Rich, Keith L. Alexander and Wesley Lowery, May 30, 2015, Washington Post

In an alley in Denver, police gunned down a 17-year-old girl joyriding in a stolen car. In the backwoods of North Carolina, police opened fire on a gun-wielding moonshiner. And in a high-rise apartment in Birmingham, Ala., police shot an elderly man after his son asked them to make sure he was okay. Douglas Harris, 77, answered the door with a gun.

The three are among at least 385 people shot and killed by police nationwide during the first five months of this year, more than two a day, according to a Washington Post analysis. That is more than twice the rate of fatal police shootings tallied by the federal government over the past decade, a count that officials concede is incomplete.

By Jessica Chasmar,  Apr. 21, 2015,  - The Washington Times

Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison argued recently that she wouldn’t consider racism in America as resolved until she sees a police officer shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back.

“People keep saying, ‘We need to have a conversation about race,” the 84-year-old told The Telegraph in an interview published Sunday.

“This is the conversation: I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back,” Ms. Morrison said. “And I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman. Then when you ask me, ‘Is it over?’, I will say yes.”

She also spoke about the relationship between economics and racism.

“Race is the classification of a species,” she told The Telegraph. “And we are the human race, period. But the other thing — the hostility, the racism — is the money-maker. And it also has some emotional satisfaction for people who need it.
