Black Americans 2.5X More Likely Than Whites to Be Killed By Police
Statista ^ | 06/02/2020 | William Roper

Posted on 06/10/2020 9:50:58 AM PDT by Wuli

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 officer’s 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]

Let’s see:

Commit 53% of the crimes
13% of the population
4.03% per 1% of crimes are by the black population
0.54% per 1% of the crimes are by all others
8X the rate of crimes are by blacks compared to all others

vs. 2.5x more likely than whites to be killed?

I’d say they should count themselves damn lucky.

Resisting Arrest is the reason when that happens

Why not print this up and pass around in your precinct

The democrat controlled media deliberate miss portraying the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

The results of politically induced miss reporting incide;nts where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

Given the fact that blacks commit a vastly disproportionate amount of crime and have a lot more contact with the police than white people, blacks are actually underrepresented in those who are shot by police.

IF the same proportion of white folks committed violent crimes, or any crimes for that matter, that blacks commit proportion-wise- there would be the same amount of blacks and whites arrested proportion-wise- very likely—

If %’s are the same, the arrests will be the same for both races, very likely- we must compare apples to apples, not oranges to apples-

Blacks are 13% of the population yet commit over 50% of the murders in the country. Think about that for a second, 1/8 of the population commits more murders than the other 7/8 combined. Given this it’s not surprising they have more interactions with the police and those interactions are more likely to turn violent.

I think the AA community doesn’t really exist as a system of shared values. Most blacks are law abiding but they are vistims of the lawless elements that in the bad sections of Baltimore, Philadelphia,Newark etc. are full of drugs and street crime. White racial prejudice, where it exists, hardly affects these people. Dirty cops and clueless administrators, like Jakob Frey and Bill DeBlasio do.

It’s even worse actually. All of those crimes are committed by Black Males between 15 and 35, which would be more around 3% of the population.

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.

Exactly, and interestingly, all Blacks that eat Vanilla ice-cream sill also die.

Blacks are over represented in encounters with police because blacks are over represented in criminal activity.

Resulting from giving in to liberal victim-entitlement mentality and thus the decay of the black family.

Data from U.S. Census reports reveal that between 1880-1960, married households consisting of two-parent homes were the most widespread form of African-American family structures. Although the most popular, married households decreased over this time period. Single-parent homes, on the other hand, remained relatively stable until 1960; when they rose dramatically.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-Ruggles-28]

A study of 1880 family structures in Philadelphia, showed that three-quarters of Black families in America were nuclear families, composed of two parents and children. In New York City in 1925, 85% of kin-related Black households in America had two parents. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-jewishworldreview.com-29]

In 1991, 68% of Black children in America were born outside of marriage. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-20]

In 2011, 72% of Black babies in America were born to unmarried mothers.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-21][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#cite_note-22]

85% of all children who show behavior disorders, and 85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes [https://sdachurchwarwick.org/uploads/3/5/3/8/35387688/statistics___the_fatherless_generation.pdf]

In 2015, 77% of Black babies in America (aside from immigrants) were born to unmarried mothers. [https://cis.org/Camarota/Births-Unmarried-Mothers-Nativity-and-Education]
