Statistics reveal police shoot and kill twice as many white suspects as African American suspects

[Johnboy60]

While the mainstream media has promoted the idea of racist police unjustly targeting black people, official crime statistics revealed that's nothing more than a myth. One America's Pearson Sharp breaks down the numbers.

you are expecting the facts to make a difference, this is not about the facts it is about power.

Statistics also show that there are 8-10 times as many whites ... as there are blacks ... in the US ...

Those are absolute counts not statistics. What do the rates look like Johnboy53?

Found this news site talking about this news and was thinking this is interesting.

and statics show that blacks commit a disproportionate amount of the violent crimes which offsets the old standard, ya but.

They are also charged, stopped and searched at a disproportionate rate.

Well now lets think about that a moment, if it is statistically more likely for someone to commit crimes wouldn't it be reasonable that they would be charged with more crimes and stopped more often and searched more often, sounds like good sound police work to me.

No. It's racist profiling nonsense.

It's not just the disproportionate accusations and assumptions... it's the higher likely hood of seeking more serious crimes or even charging with offenders at all.

Right. If a black man and a white man get pulled over by police, which one is most likely guilty?


Trick question, of course.

Only if one is unfamiliar with the research :

https://www.aclusocal.org/sites/def...1837125-LAPD-Racial-Profiling-Report-ACLU.pdf

Frisked African Americans are 42.3% less likely to be found with a weapon than frisked whites and that frisked Hispanics are 31.8% less likely to have a weapon than frisked non-Hispanic whites.
Consensual searches of blacks are 37.0% less likely to uncover weapons, 23.7% less likely to uncover drugs and 25.4% less likely to uncover anything else.
Consensual searches of Hispanics similarly are 32.8% less likely to uncover weapons, 34.3% less likely to uncover drugs and 12.3% less likely to uncover anything else.​

Hitler killed fewer Jews than non-Jews. Whee, this is fun!

You'd better check those statistics again. Or were they just pulled out of the air?

people living in extreme poverty are statistically more likely to commit crimes and African Americans are the ones most likely to be living in extreme poverty. Statistics also show that when committing the same offence whites are less likely to be arrested, and those arrested are less likely to be charged and when charged whites are charged with lesser crimes than blacks

But on the basic fact we hear repeated so often by the protesters and their supporters--that blacks are more likely to be pulled over and/or searched...what you say about people living in poverty refutes that claim.

How?

Blacks are 12% of the population, at most.

How would compare numbers of blacks to whites ?

For the record I am a white female in my late 20s. There is a difference in stopping someone because he or she matches a suspect description given in terms of race, height build and specially clothing detaining him or her long enough to determine whether he or she is or is not a suspect. There is a difference in that and stopping someone for no other reason than that he or she matches a very verge distribution of people who may tend to commit crimes. For example, suppose there was a robbery in a particular area the description given is a white male in his late teens or early 20s and a black man in his late teens each about 6ft the black man has a red shirt with jeans and the white suspect is wearing a blue shirt and jeans. The police find a black man fitting the description of the black suspect . They stop him using no force they determine that he was not involved due to video showing him a few stores down they release him. That is an acceptable thing to do for police. Compare that to a situation where they stop a black man 30 miles from the scene who does not match the discription height he just happens to a black man in his early 20s going about his business . That is not an acceptable reason to stop someone just because he is a young black man.

and that is unacceptable.
