Department of Justice statistics from 2012/13. When a violent crime, not including murder, involves blacks and whites blacks are the aggressor 84.6 percent of the time.

Pointless stat. More whites are on welfare than blacks and whites commit a majority of the murders in this country, but we all know that percentage wise, black people are going to be on the losing side of that argument.

Not saying that racist white cops murdering innocent blacks is a huge problem (the Minnesota case looks to be the only really bad case in recent memory), but I don't think your stat really means anything.

I am puzzled that certain groups get to cause disruptions throughout major cities, Riot and are allowed to do such when cops have killed more non-blacks
then this group . I agree that Police need to have better education /training but that goes in dealing with all groups not just one group. If anything this finally puts the focus on Cops that feel they can get away with anything such as murder whether it be black,white, brown or whatever.

How about these,

Violent crime is at almost all time low

More blacks were killed by cops last year then worst year of Jim Crow

More cops are killed in line of duty in usa than rest of industrial world combined

Last year in Britain almost no cops were killed and almost none fired a gun

"According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher."
There is a reason for the percentage difference.

Chicken

2500 whites are killed by police each year in the USA
1300 blacks.

but there are 6 times more whites. 223 million. 39 million black

that means per capita, 3 X more blacks are killed in police actions.

Very few cops in Britain carry guns. Good luck with that in the US.

Probably because their rate of negative interaction with police is much higher.
