And I say from 09-12 because those are the most complete numbers that are out there, from the FBI Homicide Supplementary Reports.
What's even more stunning is these statistics are not even complete. America is improving it's Law Enforcement reporting systems and the data and statistics will be more complete and accessible within the coming years, thanks to NIBRS. The complete picture will be inarguable and we'll be able to have a clearer discussion about all of this. Until then it'll just be the same old numbers being interpreted differently to fit whomever's agenda
The left says blacks are 2.5 times more likely to be killed or hurt than whites when adjusted for percentage of their total population, and the right says young black men are responsible for 40% of total police homicides and commit a vastly larger amount of violent crime, as much as 70% of all violent crimes despite being approximately 3% of the total population (13% of our populace is African Americans, 7% are women, leaving 6% while 3% are "young") and there is a reason for police bias; I'm just waiting for the new numbers.
