National Conversation

I have seen a lot of remarks about a national conversation on the subject of police and black shootings. Eric Reid and Derrius Guice have commented on the subject from lsu so yes let's converse. In a ten year period 2004 to 2013 548 police were feloniously killed. Blacks accounted for 44 percent of the murders and a combination of whites, Hispanic and Arabic descended people killed 53 percent. Blacks murdered around four times their number by percent of their population. If the stats had broken out the Hispanic, white, Arab, etc the black murder rate would be higher than any other total even though they are less in numbers by population than all but the Arab sample. The conversation now moves to the number of blacks killed by police. Take into consideration that these are total and don't differentiate between good and bad shoots. In the year 2016 police killed 963 people. 466 were white and 233 black. Blacks were 24 percent of the people killed or two times their representative population. To gain more insight we will also look at non police involved murder rates 2014. DOJ stats show that blacks and Hispanics account for just shy of 73 percent of all murder homicides. With this information in hand we can ask questions. Are black people killed by police at a higher number than percentage of population. Yes. Do we know how many are justified? No. Do blacks kill police at higher number than percentage of population? Yes four times more. Not involving police killed do blacks kill at greater numbers. Yes, combined with Hispanics in the DOJ stats 73 percent of all murders total. These are the numbers and will let you make up your mind as to your personal conclusion. I have more information if needed by anyone.
