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