5 Statistics You Need To Know About Cops Killing Blacks
1. Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. The majority of these victims had a gun or "were armed or otherwise threatening the officer with potentially lethal force," according to MacDonald in a speech at Hillsdale College.
Some may argue that these statistics are evidence of racist treatment toward blacks, since whites consist of 62 percent of the population and blacks make up 13 percent of the population. But as MacDonald writes in The Wall Street Journal, 2009 statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15 percent of the population in these counties.
"Such a concentration of criminal violence in minority communities means that officers will be disproportionately confronting armed and often resisting suspects in those communities, raising officers’ own risk of using lethal force," writes MacDonald.
MacDonald also pointed out in her Hillsdale speech that blacks "commit 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crime" in New York City, even though they consist of 23 percent of the city's population.
"The black violent crime rate would actually predict that more than 26 percent of police victims would be black," MacDonald said. "Officer use of force will occur where the police interact most often with violent criminals, armed suspects, and those resisting arrest, and that is in black neighborhoods."
2. More whites and Hispanics die from police homicides than blacks. According to MacDonald, 12 percent of white and Hispanic homicide deaths were due to police officers, while only four percent of black homicide deaths were the result of police officers.
"If we’re going to have a 'Lives Matter' anti-police movement, it would be more appropriately named "White and Hispanic Lives Matter,'" said MacDonald in her Hillsdale speech.
3. The Post's data does show that unarmed black men are more likely to die by the gun of a cop than an unarmed white man...but this does not tell the whole story. In August 2015, the ratio was seven-to-one of unarmed black men dying from police gunshots compared to unarmed white men; the ratio was six-to-one by the end of 2015. But MacDonald points out in The Marshall Project that looking at the details of the actual incidents that occurred paints a different picture:
The “unarmed” label is literally accurate, but it frequently fails to convey highly-charged policing situations. In a number of cases, if the victim ended up being unarmed, it was certainly not for lack of trying. At least five black victims had reportedly tried to grab the officer’s gun, or had been beating the cop with his own equipment. Some were shot from an accidental discharge triggered by their own assault on the officer. And two individuals included in the Post’s “unarmed black victims” category were struck by stray bullets aimed at someone else in justified cop shootings. If the victims were not the intended targets, then racism could have played no role in their deaths.
In one of those unintended cases, an undercover cop from the New York Police Department was conducting a gun sting in Mount Vernon, just north of New York City. One of the gun traffickers jumped into the cop’s car, stuck a pistol to his head, grabbed $2,400 and fled. The officer gave chase and opened fire after the thief again pointed his gun at him. Two of the officer’s bullets accidentally hit a 61-year-old bystander, killing him. That older man happened to be black, but his race had nothing to do with his tragic death. In the other collateral damage case, Virginia Beach, Virginia, officers approached a car parked at a convenience store that had a homicide suspect in the passenger seat. The suspect opened fire, sending a bullet through an officer’s shirt. The cops returned fire, killing their assailant as well as a woman in the driver’s seat. That woman entered the Post’s database without qualification as an “unarmed black victim” of police fire.
MacDonald examines a number of other instances, including unarmed black men in San Diego, CA and Prince George's County, MD attempting to reach for a gun in a police officer's holster. In the San Diego case, the unarmed black man actually "jumped the officer" and assaulted him, and the cop shot the man since he was "fearing for his life." MacDonald also notes that there was an instance in 2015 where "three officers were killed with their own guns, which the suspects had wrestled from them."
4. Black and Hispanic police officers are more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers. This is according to a Department of Justice report in 2015 about the Philadelphia Police Department, and is further confirmed that by a study conducted University of Pennsylvania criminologist Gary Ridgeway in 2015 that determined black cops were 3.3 times more likely to fire a gun than other cops at a crime scene.
5. Blacks are more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops. This is according to FBI data, which also found that 40 percent of cop killers are black. According to MacDonald, the police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black than a cop killing an unarmed black person.
Despite the facts, the anti-police rhetoric of Black Lives Matter and their leftist sympathizers have resulted in what MacDonald calls the "Ferguson Effect," as murders have spiked by 17 percent among the 50 biggest cities in the U.S. as a result of cops being more reluctant to police neighborhoods out of fear of being labeled as racists. Additionally, there have been over twice as many cops victimized by fatal shootings in the first three months of 2016.
Anti-police rhetoric has deadly consequences.

Whites are responsible for the vast majority of violent crimes, according to the FBI. With respect to aggravated assault, whites led Blacks 2-1 in arrests; in forcible-rape cases, whites led all racial and ethnic groups by more than 2-1. And in larceny theft, whites led Blacks, again, more than 2-1.
Given this mathematical truth, would anyone encourage African-Americans to begin shooting suspicious white males in their neighborhoods for fear that they’ll be raped, assaulted or murdered?

Whites compose a greater percentage of the population, so it is understandable that they commit more crime, but by percentages the story is different.
Whites generally don't attack blacks in the same ratio as blacks attack whites.
But I do think there is a problem with police targeting blacks.

So far this year there have been 26 police officers shot and killed so far including the 5 in Dallas,a 44% increase over the same time last year.
Thus far this year police have shot and killed over 510 people.Last year for the full year they shot and killed 990.

Cops are killing a lot of people and that should be the real concern.

We live in a war zone with a more heavily armed population than most military units who normally do not carry their weapons unless in a war zone.

Right, while most of those guns are sitting safely in a closet or in a gun safe doing nothing, but collecting dust. I get mine out an go hunting when the season comes around.

Maybe those 990 from last year should have avoided breaking the law or resisting arrest?

If it's vast majority, then why an issue? As you stated, if it's unjustified, there's a trial.

There are lots of instances where cops kill someone without shooting them,they taze quite a few to death,they beat some to death,they choke some to death as with the guy selling individual cigarettes in NYC.They are responsible for a good many lives lost that aren't shootings.

One fears civil disobedience has been elevated to a more violent level.
One wonders about the wrongs of police in terms of violent acts.
Versus media attention to the needs of the black community.
Those needs seem to coincide with justice or fair treatment.
However when violence, terrorism attempts to upset the balance of justice
what is the outcome?
And who is the champion of justice.
Has civil disobedience now shifted to murdering the law enforcers.
And when the do the persecutors get their trials in a court of law?
(Since they insist on their protection of their communities against police murderers.)
Where does the attention of media occur?
Somehow I think the communities don't care if police get shot.

hmmmmmm so we have the minority sticking up for the whites then
based on that train of thought
now we have more blacks legally carrying and that will only mean more blacks being shot by the cops.

I've seen some FBI stats, but they have recently proven themselves, the FBI, as not credible.

There is no doubt that some blacks and some whites worsen their situations by mouthing off and trying to act tough when confronted by police,while that might earn them a good stiff kick in the ass, it does not warrant killing them.

Police have killed approximately 532 people this year.
About 115 of them are black.
The only reason that you hear more about black deaths is because media enjoys selling their "product" to boost revenue by reporting minority incidents that will generate controversy and keep readers tuned in.
Genuine question for minorities: How do you enjoy being the slave to white media and making them richer off your misery?
