Helps to read the article

Data on homicide suspects are less complete — and therefore less conclusive — than victim data because many killings go unsolved. However, available data do indicate similar racial disparities among homicide suspects.

Of those killings between 1998 and 2020 where police recorded a description of the suspect's race, 50% were Latino and 34% were Black, while 4% were white and 3% were listed as "other." This year, 42% of noted suspects have been described as Latino, 46% Black and 4% white, according to LAPD data.

Non-Latino white people account for about 29% of L.A.'s population, but less than 8% of the victims.

Whites 4% perps -- 8% victims aka whites are killed twice as much as they are the killer.

The surge in homicides in Los Angeles.. [is].. almost entirely among Latino and Black victims,

..And?

More examples of how 'diversity is our strength?'

1. Being a white guy, I know that the leftist interpretation is that this is my fault.
2. Other than being armed when out of my home, why should I give a flying poop?

They’ll just keep voting Democrat. Morons.

I am beginning to suspect that ballots are treated the same way as they treat “re-cycle” items, that is dumped into the nearest land fill when no one is watching.

As someone once said it does not matter who votes, it only matters who counts the votes.

Not just in LA. It’s nationwide. I don’t have statistics but the majority of the offenders are repeat offenders; let out early, out on parole, etc etc. Take those 2 mongoloids that shot the 2 officers in Chicago the other day. Brothers...both of them convicted felons. On a side note, their ‘mother’ is one piece of work. Typical black woman displaying histrionics when it come to her sons especially the one that got shot. There’s a video of her on Dailymail. Disgusting.

latinos have displaced blacks in LA to an extreme degree. Compton and south central are very hispanic now... they weren’t 15-20 years ago. lots of hispanics whacking blacks.. hispanic gangs are far more organized, tactical and well-funded... black gangs are mostly just disorganized anarchy with little command structure and bylaw.

“White supremacy is ‘most lethal threat to the homeland today,’ Joe Biden “

he’s right about that: it’s the white democrat fascists leading the “defund police” movement, and given that po folk and in particular po back folk are the vast majority of crime victims, defunding the popo is guaranteed to hit the po black folk communities the hardest ...

all you have to do to understand this is watch the TV show “48 hours”: almost all of the killers are black and almost all of those murdered are blacks as well, a great many of whom are innocent victims, and one can see how hard the popo work to help bring some justice and closure for the victims families (almost all of whom are black) and now grateful these black families are when the popo arrest the mostly black murderers of their black sons and daughters ...

“Of course not. They blamed it on gangs.”

Actually, from the article:

“Of those killings between 1998 and 2020 where police recorded a description of the suspect’s race,

50% were Latino and
34% were Black, while
4% were white and 3% were listed as “other.”

This year,

42% of noted suspects have been described as Latino,
46% Black and
4% white, according to LAPD data.”

I remember when I was a boy, my parents were friends with a sweet older couple who lived in Watts. After the riots we helped them move to La Puente.
