"900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide victim total to 7,881.
The increase in black homicides in 2016 comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.
In 2016, the police fatally shot 233 blacks (3% ) the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post.
The paper categorized only 16 black male victims of police shootings as “unarmed." (that's 0.2% - is that where the focus of blame should be? Or should it be the 99.8%?)
In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.
Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers — committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.White killers of blacks numbered only 243.
72% percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons.
Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites."
