**In truth, Black communities have felt the need to be protected from the very forces sworn to uphold justice. Police don’t respond to violence in Black communities with the same degree of commitment as they do to their own White communities**
that’s wierd....because...
” .... rural agencies...are more likely to commit homicides of whites....than urban ones, which are more likely to kill blacks. “
If urban area police forces are diversity-staffed, and rural whites are all racist meanies, why are less blacks killed during the arrest process in rural areas (that tend to have predominately white officers)? Maybe because it’s not racism?
According to USConservatives website article below, there’s about 11,000 non-suicide, non-accident homicides by gun in the USA per year. 100 blacks killed by cop annually pales in comparison to blacks killing themselves to the tune of 50-80% of urban homicides per year:
“Detroit logs some 350 homicides annually, there is no hard statistic to grasp the exact percentage that is gang-related or involving gang-members. In New Orleans, between 35-55% of homicides are classified as gang-related. In Chicago, an estimated 80% of homicides are gang-related. And in Baltimore, the police commissioner states that 80% of homicides are drug-related...
When comparing cities plagued by gun violence and looking at “the most dangerous” cities in the United States, the most commonly cited cause of violence is gangs.
from LA times, 532 deaths in the county for the year:
What these stats seem to tell is that black youth in urban areas are more likely to both carry a weapon and be ready to use it to kill. This lack of respect for human life is an urban subculture the black community has created and which the urban officer has to adjust his response to. When blacks can get it together, realize that yes, their lives do matter, and manage to stop slaughtering themselves by the thousands, maybe we can address whether there really is a “race issue,” or just a “someone to blame” issue...until then...
