I guess you think they should just be quiet and happy with what they have.


There were 511 officers killed in felonious incidents by 540 offenders from 2004 to 2013, according to FBI reports. Among the total offenders, 52% were white, and 43% were black.

From 1980-2008 blacks were responsible for committing 52.5% of homicides.

So ~15% of the population is responsible for 43% of police deaths and over half of the homicides in this country. This means blacks are more likely to have encounters with police and police are going to be more wary about encounters with blacks.

Considering all of this along with the fact that only ~25% of those killed by cops are black, then yes I think they should just be quiet and happy with what they have because it could be far, far worse.
