Next, police get in trouble for not killing enough women.
Jesse Jackson was just pounding Cavuto this afternoon about “how would you feel if as many white men were being shot by police every year as are black men being shot” - I guess Neil should feel twice as outraged.....
This is Mother Jones, I know, but the article discusses the study you mention and seems relatively impartial: http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/07/new-study-suggests-police-shoot-whites-more-frequently-blacks
I’m so sorry....I forgot the sarcasm off tag.
I was just trying to spin the current report so it could be reported by MSM.
Thanks.
Consider this:
The FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports and Centers for Disease Control reported that an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012.
One black man killed by police every three days, 37 killed by other black men in the same period.
I was not surprised at all.
Cracka.
Here are some numbers I have, which closely correspond to yours. You will like the other numbers I have:
Of the 56,259 homicides from 2009-2012, 19,000 (33.8%) were killings of black males.
Comparisons by types of homicides of black males:
481 (2.5%) were the result of police use of force.
152 (0.8%) were the result of a negligent accident homicides (i.e., child playing with a gun).
648 (3.4%) were the result of a justifiable homicides by private citizens acting in self-defense.
17,719 (93.3%) were criminal homicides (murders)
89.6% (.896 x 17,719 = 15,876) of black males killed in criminal homicides from 2009-2012 were killed by another black male.
As there are approximately 20,864,500 black males in the U.S., here are annual percentages:
0.020% (4173) of all black males died in a criminal homicide last year.
0.012% (2503) of all black males committed suicide last year
0.011% (2295) of all black males died in a vehicle crash last year
0.00078% (163) of all black males died by a private citizen acting in self-defense
0.00078% (163) of all black males died from police use of force last year
Let me add that, obviously, none of that was personal, or serious, or even marginally comprehensible.
Not the original study, of course, but this article is about the same study that the Left wants to ignore, particularly the part that the analysis was done by a black college professor.
