They've known the facts for years. On average the police shoot and kill about one hundred black males annually. Of course, a number of those police shooting black males are black policeman. But every year for over fifty years about seven thousand black males shoot and kill other black males and several hundred innocent black bystanders many of them young children.

That means that since 1950 black males have shot and killed about half a million other black males while the police have shot and killed about 5,000.
