Because once again, Elftard is trying to preach about this problem that isn't the problem Ze believes it is, I once again bring you the facts folks.
---------------------------------
As I posted back in September of 2016 (and not a thing has changed):
- In 2015, 50% of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, 26% were black (despite the very high rate of violence in this community which would lead one to believe more African Americans would be victims)
- More whites and Hispanics die from police ‘homicide’ than blacks
- Black and Hispanic officers are more likely to fire a gun at a black person than a white police officer is
- A police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black person than a black man is likely to die by being shot by a police officer
Now consider the following: Per the
Bureau of Justice Statistics,
black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides recorded in the data between 1980 and 2008.
Only 45 per cent of the offenders were white. In many urban jurisdictions, 70% of violent crimes are committed by blacks. This means that police officers far more often encounter black violent offenders than they do white or Hispanic violent offenders. YET 50% of police shooting victims are white, despite police dealing with many more black violent offenders. And more Hispanics die from police homicide, than do blacks, despite blacks committing more violent crimes.
Translation: Based on the above, the police show much MORE restraint with violent black offenders than they do with whites and Hispanics. There's no other way to slice it. The police encounter many more violent blacks than they do Hispanics and whites, but they shoot more whites and Hispanics. They shoot more whites and Hispanics at a higher % rate than they do blacks that they encounter more often.
Whites and Hispanics should be up in arms, because by percentage, they are more likely to die at the hands of a police officer than a black man is.
Then this from the CDC:
Since 1981, the rate of black death by cop has dropped from 4 per million to 2 per million. Yet violent crimes by blacks remains infinitely higher than other populations.
The media and Crappernick have you all bamboozled and are having you believe a problem exists...that simply isn't there.
