Protests around the United States are boiling over after Minneapolis man George Floyd was killed by police. Floyd, accused of using a counterfeit $20 bill, had his neck compressed by an officers knee while in handcuffs for roughly nine minutes before later dying. Other recent instances of racism against African Americans in the country have led to massive protests against police brutality and systemic, institutional racism that many feel have gone unchecked for decades.
In 2019 data of all police killings in the country compiled by Mapping Police Violence, black Americans were nearly three times more likely to die from police than white Americans. Other statistics showed that black Americans were nearly one-and-a-half times more likely to be unarmed before their death. ....................... [more at the link]

So blacks are 2.5 times more likely to be dumber than a Marxist?
Not surprised.
Actually twice as whites are killed overall but let’s not let facts get in the way of a Marxist narrative.
You're a racist: Everyone knows that blacks don't commit 53% of the crimes; rather, white, racist cops target people of color, while ignoring racist white people who commit crimes, and as result, blacks are arrested more and convicted more than racist white people. /s
Thanks Eric.
Tons of info.
I’ve procrastinated myself into a corner this a.m.
Will look at it again post-haste.
Uh, according to stats, per year, 5 whites are killed by policemen, 4 blacks.
Agreed, these stats twisted somehow.
the media and the left which are the same do not deal with facts like you and I. They spread rumors,lies, and scare people.
Well since Blacks are 13% of the population and commit 52% of all the murders, they are what.....4X as likely as Whites to commit murders? Rates for other crimes are disproportionately high. Thus its hardly a surprise they will have more contact with police, are more likely to face arrest, etc.
Six.
Nobody reads statistics and data. They read a narrative and cherry picked numbers.
is ‘per capita’ the most accurate way of expressing statistics that have different amounts of data sets? (number of people)
I have never seen a ‘per capita’ statistic on:
the number of different races on welfare
the number who commit crimes
the number who commit murder
the murder rate of race by race
ANY OTHER statistic that shows black community in a bad light
We can kind of fight back a little, by posting facts- perhaps an independent somewhere might read the facts, check them out themselves, and decide to turn republican or at least vote republican-
We don’t have the voice that people like tucker and such have, but still- we can at least try to get folks to wake up-
Indeed. In fact we spend much much more money protecting blacks from blacks and into social service for blacks than any other ethny. A couple trouble family can regularly suck up the entire time and budget of a single district.
Agreed
Blacks 12 times more likely to commit violent crimes.
More unarmed whites are killed by police than unarmed blacks. There was an article posted here a couple days ago about that fact.
Wall Street Journal has a long piece from Weds., June 3rd, by a woman named Heather Mac Donald, pointing out that in 2019 police officers fatally shot 1004 people, "most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous."
Furthermore, "African Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops last year (235, a ratio that has remained stable since 2015)."
Moreover she notes, "In 2018, the latest year for which such data is available, "African Americans made up 53% of known homocide offenders in the U.S., and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.
Continuing, she writes, "The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Wapo database, down from 38 and 32, in 2015.
And, "In 2018, were 7407 black homocide victims. Assuming a comparable of victims last year, those nine unarmed victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African -Americans killed in 2019.
(my caps below not hers)
"By contrast, "A POLICE OFICER IS 18.5 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE KILLED BY A BLACK MALE THAN AN UNARMED BLACK MALE IS LIKELY TO BE KILLED BY A POLICE OFFICER."
Miss Mac Donald goes on to discuss the dozens of shootings in Chicago over the last couple weekends, then points out: Police shootings are not the reason that blacks die of homocide eight times the rate of whites and hispanics combined. CRIMINAL VIOLENCE IS.
She drew her information from a study of systemic police bias from the latest findings (August 2019) by the National Academy of Sciences...Hardly a cop-loving bunch, those Sciences Peoples, right?
“The entire problem with this kind of statistic is it has zero context to when civilians and police are in some encounter, which is vastly most often related to crime.”
True, but even assuming for argument’s sake that all things are equal, 2.5 fold is evidence against systemic racism.
It would be 100 to 1000 fold.
Statista is a leader in lying with statistics. I’m sick of them and their ilk. Not even a minimal effort to present the truth.
