7,500 blacks are killed by blacks each year (avg.). 250 are killed by cops. Where is the problem?

exactly- whites are more likely to be killed by police than black folks are but whites aren’t screaming about ‘racial profiling’ or ‘police brutality’ and rioting and burning neighborhoods everytime a white person is killed by a cop

Adjusted to take into account the racial breakdown of the U.S. population, he said black men are 3.5 times more likely to be killed by police than white men. But also adjusted to take into account the racial breakdown in violent crime, the data actually show that police are less likely to kill black suspects than white ones.

“If one adjusts for the racial disparity in the homicide rate or the rate at which police are feloniously killed, whites are actually more likely to be killed by police than blacks,” said Mr. Moskos, a former Baltimore cop and author of the book “Cop in the Hood.”

“Adjusted for the homicide rate, whites are 1.7 times more likely than blacks die at the hands of police,” he said. “Adjusted for the racial disparity at which police are feloniously killed, whites are 1.3 times more likely than blacks to die at the hands of police.”

The problem is that the cops didn’t take care of the other 7250 black murderers. They need to step it up some to keep good people safe.
