From another of one of my posts:
During the 4-year period of 2009-2012, a total of 56,259 homicide victims were reported in the U.S. 1,491 were the result of police use of force. Of the 1,491 persons that died from police use of force, 915(61.4%) were white males and 481 (32.2%) were black males. That is 120 black males a year. To put it into perspective, 373 persons are struck by lightning in the U.S. each year and between 40 to 100 deaths annually from insect-sting-related anaphylaxis.
So why is this overblown reaction to these black male deaths by cop? When you take into consideration that the majority of them are justified, it puts them into to catagory of deaths by bee sting. I know. I know. We better round up all those pesky bees.
But you Mis-understand.
There’s lots of cool 60 inch curved screen TVs out there, an the one that I stole three years ago, jus ain’t cool no more.
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.
