>>>"So 27% of those killed by cops are black................blacks are 13.6% of the population..." That's a fact, here are some more: According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008. Most of those were committed by Black men who represent half your statistic (6.8%). It gets worse. There are approximately 45 million Black Americans and only about 310,000 are gang members. Most homicides committed by black males are committed by gang members. That is less than 1% of Black Americans. Smaller cities with gang problems tend to report zero homicides, so we are only talking about the large urban centers. So that reduces your statistic again by about half. So less that .5 percent of black people (mostly youth), which is only .00068% of the US population, living in large urban areas are committing most of the 52.5 percent of homicides in the US. But it is racist for a cop to be suspicious of someone presenting themselves like a thug on the streets of our inner cities? people.missouristate.edu
