Study: Black Americans 3 times more likely to be killed by police
​

June 24 (UPI) -- A four-year analysis released Wednesday shows that black Americans were, on average, more than three times as likely as white people to be killed during a police encounter.

The study by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health examined 5,494 police-related deaths in the United States between 2013 and 2017 and found disparities across the two racial groups in all metropolitan statistical areas that provided race/ethnicity data.

Among all MSAs, the analysis found, black people were 3.23 times as likely to be killed by police than white people. Among MSAs, researchers said the figures "varied greatly."

At the low end, black deaths in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, Ga., area were 1.81 times greater than white deaths. That figure rose to 6.51 in the MSA with the highest level of disparity -- Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, Ill.

COMMENT:-

More evidence that the "Black" version of "BLM" has some serious validity to its position.

When a "mirror" study of the ratio of Police killed by "Blacks" is finally done, I strongly suspect that it will show that the "Blue" version of "BLM" has some serious validity to its position.

Is there any possibility that the REAL problem is simply that the percentage of people who feel that killing others isn't something that they shouldn't do?

They are probably three times more stupid when they deal with the police. You know...resisting, fighting, shooting, running, etc.

Yeah, if unarmed, quiet and respectful like this, things would certainly be different.

You realize he's not even focused on the cops in front of him right? I mean, don't get me wrong, the statement you are responding to is as idiotic as trying to use this picture to refute it....gotta do better

Guys with guns screaming like this and being allowed to do so... I think the picture illustrates my point regardless of who the crazy man is yelling at.

Let's play where is waldo, can you circle the gun in that picture?

And yea, kinda does matter who you yelling and threatening at.....if the cop thought he was a direct threat, you know, by yelling and directly threatening him, you don't think he would react?
 
It was never about heritage or state's rights to current day Confederates. It's always been about hating on our race of people they despise.

This is why the right is in denial, looking for any reason to justify systemic racism.
 
And a white person is nearly 10 times as likely to be violently assaulted by a black person, than vice versa. But we're still stuck focusing on the plight of black Americans, because we're totally privileged and all that.

I think part of it is racial profiling and racist cops, but there's also an issue in the black community of people running from the cops and resisting arrest

Bottom line is, though, the only way it is going to get better is by budgeting more money for bodycams and racial sensitivity training, not less

"We had Confederate flags everywhere, the President defending Confederate monuments, the alt right, the antifa boogeyman and nazi marches in the streets. It was the golden age of modern racism. But then the riots ****ed it all up!"

They did, didn't they.

Black Ben Carson says there is no systemic racism. Black Condoleezza Rice says the same thing. Do we believe blacks or Democrats?

Why would anybody listen to anything you say? You're a modern day Confederate.

Hell, if anyone tears down statues of Abe Lincoln it will be you.

I doubt that, if anything it was hiding before President OrangeTan decided to give that demographic a voice.

Does he not bring up a valid point though?

There are blacks that say there is no systemic racism, there are that say there is.....who do you believe?

How did they account for the fact that black people are about 5 times more likely to commit murder?

And yet the numbers, sans manipulation flibertygibets and bolderdash, say the opposite. Actual stats show more whites than blacks killed by cops.

Probability is that if you shoot at cops or fight with then you'll probably take second place.
