According to FBI statistics, in 2012 (most recent year for which data is available) "Concerning murder victims for whom race was known, 51.1 percent were black, 46.3 percent were white, and 2.6 percent were of other races. Race was unknown for 130 victims."

According to the Census Bureau, 13.2% of the US population was "Black or African American alone" in 2013. African Americans are disproportionately the victims of African American violence.

Encouraging cops to stay away from African American neighborhoods is somehow going to make African American neighborhoods safer?

It boggles the mind.

I say it's high time they find out.

Maybe the cops should just stay out of them and let the politically correct liberals deal with it. Why risk their lives for a lost cause? Same for the middle east. LET them take each other out.
