Your percentage includes 1 year old children, 97 year old grandmothers etc.
Try this: Black males between 17-41 years old are 3% of the population. They commit over 50% homicides.
“...In Los Angeles, blacks are 21 times as likely as whites to commit a violent crime, “
Presumably that includes the entire black vs the entire white population.
I am writing a letter to the editor of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana Morning Advocate challenging the postings from a couple of ‘chicken littles’ criticizing the recent passage of the Louisiana Permit-less Carry law.
I would like to use your statistics in my letter and would appreciate a link to your data source to rebut the inevitable challenges. Many thanks.
