Breaking News: Black men, boys commit most crime in Chicago.

Chicago black men and boys shoot black men and boys.

[TXnMA]

From the article: "There were 435 police shootings from 2010 through 2015, in which officers killed 92 people and wounded 170 others. In all, officers fired 2,623 bullets."

If you count all casualties a victims, that is 262 "LEO victims" over a span of five years, or 52.4 per year - or, approximately one (1) LEO "victim" per week.

FWIW, that also means that 143 (~1/3 of) LEO shootings injured no one.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the number of shootings victims this year -- as of AUG. 27, 2016 (239 days) was 2,739. That's a rate of ~11.5 shootings per day -- or 80 shooting victims per week!

~~~~~~~~

At a rate of 1.25% of the shootings per week, I don't see LEO shootings as the #1 problem to solve in Chicago!

Besides, as we say here in Texas, "A bunch of them folks jes' needed shootin!"

It doesn’t matter without more information. Were the people shot dangerously threatening the Police people’s lives? If they weren’t you can be sure it would have been national news. It may likely be that this large number of the criminal types who end up causing a police person to kill them are the ones at fault, not the police.

If you have to shoot, you have to shoot. There’s no choosing the target beforehand

If Black men/boys were not the primary violent offenders, who resisted officers and pointed guns at them, they wouldn’t be the most shot by Chicago police. The truth is, the majority of black gunshot victims in Chicago are shot by black criminals
