I wouldn’t compare the two at all.
Because just like some blacks are criminals, some cops are criminals. All blacks aren’t some blacks. All cops aren’t some cops.
If you generalize, like the guy who shot the cop last week, or like any other racist on the face of the earth, you are bound to live in a world of hurt and take others with you.
Want to talk specifics? Good idea. Want to generalize? Bad, dangerous idea. The guy last week generalized. Now he’s headed for the death chamber and an officer is dead.
“”The guy last week generalized””
The guy in TX? How do you know what he said or why he did what he did???
If someone wants to generalize in that way, I think they will be in a world of hurt, and are going to drag down an entire society with them because they cannot face the truth or the facts.
But since you asked, here is some specific data on black on white violence. I implore you not to generalize, and say that because I make these points below that I am being racist and painting all blacks, because that is not what I am doing at all. That is a tactic some people seem to enjoy utilizing on anyone who dares point out the FACTS. These are facts, pure and unadulterated from government sources that illustrate this issue.
People in this country may ask: "Is there an epidemic of racial violence in this country?"
The answer to this question may be found in this video by Bill Whittle: VIDEO: Bill Whittle: Ferguson and the Real Race War
In summary, here are the raw statistics for general violent crime Black-on-White and White-on-Black crime from the National Crime Victimization Survey (the branch of the DOJ responsible for collecting these statistics) here are the raw results for 2010:
Here is the RAW disparity between Black-on-White and White-on-Black general violent crime:
But this raw data is misleading, due to disparity in the sizes of the population. Here are the numbers that show the population totals for black and white populations in 2010:
If you normalize the statistics to take into account the relative sizes of the populations, Here are the numbers that reflect the real magnitude of Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime:
Furthermore, if you narrow the statistics shown above on violent assault (GENERAL VIOLENT ASSAULT) to a specific type of violent assault (IN THE CASE BELOW, VIOLENT AGGRAVATED ASSAULT) , the statistics that Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime take on an entirely different magnitude:
When one looks at these statistics, one can only reach the same conclusion that Bill Whittle did in his video:
"Oh, there's an epidemic of racial violence in America, all right."
Bill Whittle further accurately states:
"Critics will say that I am using these statistics to justify the murder of Michael Brown. But I said at the beginning if Michael Brown were shot in cold blood then the police officer needs to pay the price for murder. This has nothing to do with Michael Brown. This has EVERYTHING to do with the narrative that the President, the Attorney General, and all of these race hustlers are trying to create using Michael Brown.
There is, in fact, a racial war of violence and hatred in America. Open racism is simply not tolerated in white America today, but black racism is the toxic glue that holds the progressive coalition together. Tolerance of in fact, as we see from the events in Ferguson, open encouragement of black rage at a narrative that not only does not exist but reverses the daily outrages that do exist, is what defines modern progressivism. It is the politics of envy, anger, entitlement, lawlessness, violence and bald-faced lies.
And of all the promises broken by this man, surely none is more heartbreaking than the one promise that got him elected in the first place: the promise of a post-racial future. He and his racist progressive cohorts can never surrender the weapon that has gotten them everything, not the least of which is personal political power and trillions of dollars of redistributed wealth. And this latest outrage in Furguson is yet another example as if another was needed among the economic wreckage, creeping totalitarianism, and foreign-policy disasters -- that he and his leftist cohorts would rather rule over ruins than disappear into the dustbin of a healthy and healed nation."

And, by the way, these statistics are from 2010. I would bet they are far worse now.
