US Census Bureau has the US population at around 328.2 million. 60% white (196.9 million), 13.4% black (43.9 million) Police killed 250 black suspects (5.6 per 1 million) Police killed 403 white suspects (2 per 1 million) That's normally where the conversation stops. Keep going
Black people committed 146,734 violent crimes (33.4 per 10,000) White people committed 230,299 violent crimes (11.6 per 10,000) So, black people are killed at a rate 2.8x higher (5.6/2) And black people commit violent crime at a rate 2.8x higher (33.4/11.6). Well well well...
I mean, it's common sense. If cops kill a certain percentage of violent crime suspects, then CLEARLY the more violent crime you commit, the more suspects will get killed. Doesn't matter what that percentage is. If you commit 2.8x more violent crime, you will have 2.8x more deaths
Just to drive this point home, let's say cops kill 1 person (justified or unjustified) for every 1,000 violent crimes. If one group commits 2,000 violent crimes, 2 people will get killed. If another group commits 4,000, 4 people will get killed. The end. Total pop is irrelevant.
Violent crime is the driver. And violent crime disparities explain shooting disparities. In the end, if you aren't a criminal scumbag, the likelihood of you being killed by police is dang near zero. Moral of the story: Commit less crime, get shot less.
They always die on the hill of the equality of outcome argument which is made by those who are not interested in the statistics
These statistics are *conviction rates*, not actual per capita rates of the crimes committed. They're often substituted for crime rates because perfect data is impossible, but not seeing a distinction is both naive and indicative of limited understanding of correlation:causation
Often used also because it’s the most accurate correlations possible,.. as to your point defining perfect data.
Thank you!
Buy that means there’s no racism! WTH? How’s a Democrat ever gonna get elected???
Black males are about ~6.5% population and obviously account for vast majority of the crime framework here, small but meaningful nuance.
