Disagree, there's a disproportionate amount of black people getting killed by white cops. This is what people are going nuts about, not because guy died to cop, but because black guy killed by white cop - again
"Disproportionate" to what?
Proportionate to what?
Crimes committed?
Suspects killed by police in the USA are 75% less today than they were in 1980. That is true for blacks, Asians, Latinos, everyone.
Rate of shootings remains pretty steady since 2015.
919 people were fatally
shot by police in 2018.
1,023 people were shot and killed by police in 2019.
Whites comprise over half those killed by police.
Black compose 13% of the population and comprise 26% of those killed by police.
Blacks are arrested and convicted of 38% of the violent crime in America:
3 times the rate of whites....disproportionate to their population.
In 2019, 10 people of 1,023 were killed by police accidentally or by use of force excessive to a crime being committed.
So, here’s the 2018 breakdown of the 995 people shot and killed by the police:
403 were white, 210 were black, 148 were Hispanic, 38 were classified as other, and 199 were classified as unknown.
Out of that 995, 47 were unarmed — 23 were white, 17 were black, 5 were Hispanic, and 2 were unknown.
Out of the 30-50 million interactions that the police had with the American public last year, 10 million people were arrested, and less than 0.01 percent were shot and killed by the police. Out of those 10 million people arrested, 47 of those shot and killed were unarmed, which equates to 0.00047 percent, 17 of which were black.
948 of 995 criminals killed by police were armed and committing a violent crime at the time.
95% of those suspects killed were armed.
The reality is that out of the 10,000,000 arrests made last year in the U.S.,
17 black people shot and killed by the police were unarmed, which equates to
0.00017 percent. That does not mean they were innocent. It does not mean the shootings were racially motivated.
Blacks are "disproportionately" over-represented on police forces, for those who place some value on such things.
Black police and deputies do a lot of the patrolling and call responding to black neighborhoods.
Latino police and deputies do a lot of the patrolling and call responding to black neighborhoods.
So the criminals are being arrested by police of their own race, more than by white police.
Black police are involved in shooting and killing a lot of these black criminals. Are they racists? Of course not.
