Re: “I know that for every black man shot and killed by a policeman, there are 18 policemen shot and killed by a black man.”

Hmmm...

In 2015 there were 63 line of duty gunfire LEO deaths.

That means just 3 or 4 Black males were shot by cops in 2015.

Sorry, I was imprecise.

According to Bill Whittle (who got his information from Heather MacDonald, the WSJ reporter who investigated this) it should say: “Over the last ten years, a police officer is 18 times more likely to be killed by a black assailant, than an unarmed black man is to be killed by a cop.”

(I had to go back and watch the video by Bill Whittle that summarizes Ms. MacDonald’s findings)
