[QUOTE="BPPLEE, post: 76796160, member: 443673"] Black Americans do seem to be killed at a higher rate by police than other races. But they are more likely to be in contact with police because they commit crimes at a disproportionate rate. They only make up about 14% of the population but according to the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation']FBI[/URL], African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites 41.1%, and "Other" 3.0% in cases where the race was known.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#cite_note-Table3-52'][52][/URL] Among homicide victims in 2019 where the race was known, 54.7% were black or African-American, 42.3% were white, and 3.1% were of other races.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#cite_note-53'][53][/URL][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#cite_note-Table2-54'][54][/URL] [B]The [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_capita']per-capita[/URL] offending rate for African-Americans was roughly eight times higher than that of whites[/B], and their victim rate was similar. So Black Americans have more contact with the police. While it doesn't exonerate the police the majority killed were engaging in resisting arrest or some form of threatening behavior.[B] Not all but most of these situations could be avoided just by cooperating with the police.[/B] There are some examples of completely unjust killings by police but they are not the majority and DAs are more likely to prosecute police than they have been in the past.
