Statistics show the lie for what it is. I heard it said (have not checked out the veracity) that a black male is 13.5 times more likely to be killed by another black male than by a police officer.
It is based largely on the work of Heather MacDonald from The Wall Street Journal, and her statistical work done back in 2016 illustrate that a police officer of ANY color is 18 (EIGHTEEN!) times more likely to be killed by a black male than a black unarmed male is to be killed at the hands of a police officer.
I trust that work, and the fact that they have not been able to force Heather MacDonald to leave the WSJ for authoring that "heresy" indicates to me it is sound. (Based on the FBI-Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data)
For me, what was astonishing was, at a maximum, six people out of a hundred in this country are responsible for 46% of the violent crime (defined by the FBI as Homicide, aggravated assault, armed robbery, and rape) and even that number is misleading.
Black men are 6% of the population, and it is said that one third of them have a felony record, so the staggering actual number might be one or two persons out of every hundred are responsible for 46% of violent crime. The other four or five percent of black males are painted unfairly in that terrible light that says one or two out of a hundred is responsible, just because they have the same melanin content in their skin.
One would say (as Bill Whittle opines) that surely that is evidence of racism, that those other four or five percent of the population are unfairly painted, but I see it quite the opposite.
With numbers like that, it is astonishing there isn't more outright police mistreatment of blacks. In my estimation, those numbers reflect a great forbearance in policing in that the numbers of outright mistreatment are small and most encounters with law enforcement do not involve that kind of negative force.
