Also I never suggested that this was ONLY about race. You made a absurd argument that race had nothing to do with this issue and I just supported reasons for why it did. I think racism as well as classicism go hand in hand.
There are African American celebrities and wealthy minorities who still get pulled over and stopped by police.....simply because they are black. Now if you look at the statistics this issue occurs mostly in poor/low income areas but it does occur in wealthy areas too which goes back to the whole point that race is very much apart of this issue.

You said "outside minorities". Outside of minorities there is only the majority. The majority of people killed by police are part of the majority. But like I said, all about proportions, and the amount of racial minorities killed is still disproportionate. I am saying you making this primarily about race is not a good idea. What kind of race based solution is there? Why not just focus on the issue itself and how it impacts ALL of society instead of just cherry picking your own race? It's exclusionary. This is a problem that impacts everyone. Race has no real use in this discussion.
