re: LA Times: Getting shot by police is a leading cause of death for U.S. black men

What’s the chances there is a high correlation between these deaths and the presence of a small rodent or crystal meth in the anal cavity?

Getting killed by police is a leading cause of death for young black men in America

Lets take any random major city in the U.S and compare the number of black men killed by police to the number of black men killed by other black men


In Chicago this past weekend, at least 34 people were shot — six of them fatally.

Does the L.A times really expect me to believe that police shot and killed more than 6 people in Chicago this weekend?

quote:

About 1 in 1,000 black men and boys in America can expect to die at the hands of police, according to a new analysis of deaths involving law enforcement officers. That makes them 2.5 times more likely than white men and boys to die during an encounter with cops.

The Washington Times actually tracks officer involved shootings where police killed the suspect. They have done that for every year since 2015.

Here is the number of black males shot and killed by police each year, compared to white males for each year:


...........Black....White
2015....248........471
2016....223........444
2017....214........433
2018....218........425
2019....135........185


So where is the LA Times getting that "black men and boys in America" are "2.5 times more likely than white men and boys to die during an encounter with cops"

Or where are they getting the 1 in 1,000 figure from?

2015 was the highest number on the list when 248 where killed. So are you telling me that there are less than 250,000 "black men and boys in America"?
