@mecha_frieza: Maybe you should start a thread on that. It is topic that is related, but merits a separate discussion on its own since it might derail what the thread topic is more specifically focusing on.
Well, I think it is very relevant because the whole BLM narrative is that cops are racist and are killing more blacks than anyone else. The problem with this is that cops per year, kill more white people than other races and by a pretty big margin.
In 2019, 1,004 people were shot and killed by police and out of that total, 370 were white, 235 were black, and 158 were Hispanic.
Black on black violence eclipses these numbers by a huge margin also so again, what are we talking about?
Technically you can't look at the situation with total numbers. White people are the majority and it follows more total would be killed. But when you look at percentage you see it's disproportionate to population. Which is the correct way to handle statistics.
Today in 2020 according to the latest Census information, the white population is roughly 60.4% while the black population is around the same as it was in 2005 at just 13%. As mentioned previously, based on population information, individuals who declare that there is both systemic racism and racial bias in American law enforcement argue that there is a racial disparity since blacks only make up 13%. This leaves us with a simple question: why are blacks being arrested and killed by police in such large numbers? To find this answer, we will go through the FBI crime statistics from 2014-2018. According to FBI crime statistics for 2014, blacks represented 27.8% of all arrests for that year which is disproportionate to their population of only 13%. In this same year, blacks were arrested for 51.3% of the murder, 55.9% of all robberies, 40.7% of all weapon possessions, and 33.1% of all aggravated assaults. For 2015, blacks arrested represented 51.1% of the murder, 53.5% of all robberies, 40% of all weapon possessions, and 32.1% of all aggravated assaults. For 2016, blacks represented 52.6% of all murder, 54.5% of all robberies, 41.8% of all weapons possession crimes, and 33.3% of all aggravated assaults. In 2017, blacks represented 53.1% of all murder, 54.3% of all robberies, 43.9% of all weapon possession crimes, and 33.5% of all aggravated assault. Last we have the crime stats from 2018- In this year, blacks represented 53.3% of all murder, 54.2% of all robberies, 43.3% of all weapon possessions, and 33.7% of all aggravated assault.
