I wish I had a remote I could push to electrocute your little prick each time you take statistics fully out of context and entirely miss the point. We are not talking about all killed by cops, we talk about cases where cops took the law into their own hands.

This is a very good observation. And it is not just politicians. We are all, myself certainly, far too quick to make assumptions before we have the facts. And what this leads to is assumptions and assertions sounding like facts once they get repeated a few times.
You have good points. We have to learn to make distinctions. All these incidents are not the same. And that requires that we await the real facts. And sometimes we are never going to be able to sort things out because we never get to those real facts. But I'm wondering here, is there any evidence for what you assert about Freddie Gray? I know very, very little about that case other than the way the media has portrayed it.
If, if the justice department digs deep enough into this most likely they will find it to fall squarely in the home grown terrorism category.
This protest march in Dallas was scheduled long before the most recent incidents in Louisiana and Minnesota. That means this assault on police was not a result from those tow incidents. Secondly, from a tactical standpoint, this looks very well planned. Too much so for an impromptu type of impulsive act of rage.
It needs to be found just what associations this guy had with other groups, his social network affiliations and whatever else they would be digging for under similar circumstances. I do think that the Feds will be looking to uncover these facts. Whether or not we ever know the full extent involving the planning of this terrorist attack is another story.

Let's talk some more statistics. In your opinion in what percentage of the cases of blacks killed by cops this year do you believes cops "took the law into their own hands"? In what percentage of cases of whites killed by cops this year do you believes cops "took the law into their own hands"?
Care to explain statistically why only cases where blacks are shot by cops receive widespread media attention? Tell me about the shooting by police of John Livingston or Todd Brent Burroughs in North Carolina this year. Never heard of them, eh? Well they were white.
Very true.
With regard to Gray.

The police detectives who investigated the death of Freddie Gray were told that he had a history of participating in "crash-for-cash" schemes — injuring himself in law enforcement settings to collect settlements...

Not only do I like this. I like it a lot!
Your view is not wrong.
