According to the Washington Post, just 16 unarmed black men out of a population of more than 20 million were killed by the police in 2016 – down from 36 the year before. These figures are numerically comparable to the number of black men that could be struck by lightning in any given year, Lemoine calculates, and they include cases in which the shooting was justified, even if the person killed was unarmed.
And speaking of facts, I'm amazed lightening fatalities are recorded by race.
Actually, in the last two years crime has started trending up again. IMHO, the main reasons are the war on the police and liberal fools like Bloomberg ending the broken windows policies that brought crime down in the first place.
I have seen one video of what I considered an unjustified police shooting of a young black criminal who was not threatening police. That police officer was convicted of murder.
I know of 5 Dallas police officers killed at a BLM protest march. The police are killed for no reason other than hate far more than I have seen blacks unjustifiably killed by police.

“But it is true that a disproportionate amount of murders and other violent crimes are committed by black Americans.”

Isn't it also true that black people don't know how cops treat white people? Sounds like it is true. I guess black people aren't special after all.
I sometimes get confused over whether the media are the dem's sycophants or whether they are the actual leaders of the party. There is no doubt they try to set national perception.

VERY well written article with thorough research by this doctoral candidate. I hope his article will not jeopardize his doctoral aspirations OR his future employment in his chosen field.
Too bad it will not be publicized by the media or any group who could influence people’s current ideas about racism in our country.
What is the percentage of white guys in the NFL?
Liberals don’t care about facts. It is all about how they feel.

I know FAR more officers that have saved black lives than have taken one.
Most go unheralded.
