Will the media address the fact that cops are 5x more likely to kill blacks than blacks are? :lupe:

I was goin back and forth with somebody else on another forum about the number of brothas killed by cops vs the number of brothas killed by brothas (black on black violence) so I ended up citing this count the Guardian did of police homicides:

The Counted: people killed by police in the United States – interactive

According to them 306 blacks were killed by police in 2015 and 194 have been killed so far this year which even now averages to exactly 250 a year. At some point I thought about what the rough total black homicide rate for policemen in America is... I looked up the total number of policemen in America and found that according to Wikipedia (which cites a government study which isn't online anymore) there's about 765,000 sworn officers working in the USA right now.

Law enforcement in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Calculating the total cop-on-black homicide rate for a per 100,000 rate, I found that the rate (250/7.65) is 32/100,000 :merchant:

You read that right, 32/100,000. :whoo::damn:


The rate for unarmed black people killed by cops in 2015 (79 unarmed black people killed in 2015) is almost exactly 10/100,000. :whew:


To put that in perspective, the stats that Trump cited the other day about black homicides put the total black on black homicides in 2011 at 2,447. :wow: If you were to calculate the black on black homicide rate for the total USA black population though (37.1 million), the rate (2,447/371) is 6.57/100,000.

You read that right, 6.57/100,000. :lupe:

:lupe: Y'all see where I'm going with this? Why doesn't anybody in the media see it though :mjpls:

These cops outchea literally killing unarmed black people at damn near twice the rate as black people kill black people and they're killing black people in general at 5x the frequency.

Want to know what's really fukked up though? In 2015 the police killed white people (581 total) at a rate (wait for it)...


... of 75.91/100,000. :merchant::whoa::damn::damn:

Yet somehow, white people have convinced themselves that police brutality is not their problem. :wow:

They've also convinced themselves that your average black person is more dangerous to another black person than your average cop is... when that simply isn't true :wow:

To reframe the data another way, the total number of black homicide victims in 2011 was 2,695. This number does not include police shootings for the most part (they're typically ruled as justified homicides) so in reality it's more like 3,000. Black people killed 2,447 black people that year or around 82% of them... The cops killed around 250 or roughly 8% of them. This is a very large disparity when comparing the data this way, there are other ways to compare the data though. :mjpls:

For example, if you were for the sake of argument to expand that police population (765,000) to equal the black population (37.1 million) you'd multiply the cop-on-blacks homicide total by a factor of 48 (37.1 million divided by 765,000) which would bring it from 250 to 12,000... :whoo: :merchant: :sas1:

















...What about black on black crime though :sas2:

i dont know what to do with this information other than to not be surprised at all.
Click to expand...

It's not meant to be surprising... to everyone :mjpls:

Although it may be surprising to some people to find out where their favorite whipping boy (Chicago) factors into this conversation,

According to this article, 326 of the 423 homicides in Chicago in 2011 were black on black violence. Chicago's black population is 32%, or roughly 864,000 people. The per 100,000 homicide rate for black chicagoans (326/8.76) is 37.26/100,000.

Now which rate in the OP does that bear a striking resemblance to :sas1:

I wish somebody would bring up Chicago in this thread :sas2:


These cops nationwide got a black homicide rate on par with the most demonized group of black people in America :wow::mjcry:
