FACTS: <snip> O’Reilly then pulled out two statistics that seemingly hurt Smiley’s allegations that police officers are indiscriminately targeting black people. “Do you know how many blacks were killed by police by gunfire last year?” O’Reilly asked. “Off the top of my head, I don’t,” Smiley replied. “The number is 123,” O’Reilly said. “Do you know how many whites were killed? 326.” “There are 43 million-plus black Americans — 123 were killed by police gunfire,” he continued. “There isn’t an epidemic of this. … But when it happens it’s extremely troubling.” When a stunned Smiley asked O’Reilly if he really doesn’t see a “pattern” on the issue, the Fox News host replied, “I don’t because the statistics don’t say there’s a pattern.” “Again, 123 deaths out of 43 million-plus is minuscule — every death is a tragedy, I’m with you,” he added. “Three times as many whites are shot by police than blacks. I don’t think it’s hunting down blacks.” theblaze.com
