"Over the course of many years, mountains of empirical evidence regarding this subject have been accumulated.
Some of the most comprehensive information we have comes from a 2001 Bureau of Justice Statistics report examining incidents where police in the United States used deadly force to kill criminal suspects between 1976 and 1998. During that 23-year span, 42% of all suspects killed by police were black – a figure that comported precisely with the percentage of violent crimes committed by African Americans during that same period. This is enormously significant because we would expect that in police forces not plagued by systemic racism, officers would shoot suspects of various racial or ethnic backgrounds at rates closely resembling their respective involvement in the types of serious crimes most likely to elicit the use of force by police. And indeed, that is exactly what the evidence shows.
Moreover, in nearly two-thirds of all justifiable homicides by police during 1976-98, the officer’s race and the suspect’s race were the same. When a white or Hispanic officer killed a suspect, that suspect was usually (63% of the time) white or Hispanic as well. And when a black officer killed a suspect, that suspect was usually black (81% of the time).
How about the rate at which officers killed suspects of other racial or ethnic backgrounds? In 1998, the “black-officer-kills-black-felon” rate was 32 per 100,000 black officers, more than double the rate at which white and Hispanic officers killed black felons (14 per 100,000). That same year, the rate at which white and Hispanic officers killed white or Hispanic felons (28 per 100,000) was much higher than the “black-officer-kills-white-or-Hispanic-felon” rate of 11 per 100,000.
In 1999, criminologists Geoffrey Alpert and Roger Dunham confirmed once again that police officers were more likely to use force against suspects of their own racial group, than against suspects from another racial group.
A 2011 Bureau of Justice Statistics study which covered the period from 2003 to 2009 sheds further light on the issue of police use of force against people of various racial and ethnic backgrounds. Of all suspects who are known to have been killed by police during that 7-year time frame, 41.7% were white, 31.7% were black, and 20.3% were Hispanic. It is also worth noting that during the 2003-2009 period—when blacks were 31.7% of all suspects killed by an officer—blacks accounted for about 38.5% of all arrests for violent crimes, which are the types of crimes most likely to trigger potentially deadly confrontations with police. These numbers do not in any way suggest a lack of restraint by police in their dealings with black suspects. On the contrary, they strongly suggest exactly the opposite.{1}
In 2015, a Justice Department study of the Philadelphia Police Department found that black officers were 67 percent more likely than their white colleagues to mistakenly shoot an unarmed black suspect, and Hispanic officers were 145 percent more likely to do the same. That same year, a study of the New York Police Department by criminology professor Greg Ridgeway found that black officers were 3.3 times more likely than their white peers to discharge their guns in the course of their work. So much for the notion of trigger-happy white cops."

Protect America against all enemies, foreign and domestic
June 2, 2020Frank Gaffney, Jr.
Every public official in America has sworn an oath to defend our Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Yet, it’s long been taboo even to acknowledge that we may have domestic enemies. Today, such willful blindness is not only untenable. It can be fatal.
Night after night, we’ve witnessed such enemies operating under the banner of seditious entities like the Marxist-anarchist Antifa. They have violently exploited legitimate protests to sow chaos and endanger public safety.
It’s particularly troubling that Minnesota – the state first afflicted with such attacks – has as its top law enforcement officer Attorney General Keith Ellison, a man with a long history of publicly associating himself with Antifa, other radical leftist and Muslim Brotherhood operatives.
We must be clear-eyed about the reality that we do have enemies, foreign and domestic – and protect our country and Constitution against them all.
the issue is we are in a different kind of war and it's going to get worse as the day goes by.
And if we follow the money trails from Antifa, BLM and the rest, we will find they are ALL funded by sorryazz george and his various un-American orgs.
Same technique kills this white man, 2016 or near. They laugh, take him down, kneel on him, he begs, they laugh, pretent they are helping, they keep crushing his lungs, he passes out, then they sedate him, put him in ambulance and he is dead.

He sure did, and they all were his sons. He set every group against every other group. And all because he was dark, he got away with everything in his evil mind.
It appears still that blacks commit more crime. They are 12+ percent of the population and are commiting 30% of the serious crime, enough that even black police officers distrust black suspects more, and hence, shoot more often. Blacks need family. Sons need fathers. Fathers need jobs. Schools need to quit pandering through nonsense of diversity and equity (enabling the lesser abled to achieve same outcomes as more abled students.
It would help if police would actually put down violent protestors immediately instead of waiting and waiting and waiting. It does no one any good to NOT see justice done. Just like we are all waiting STILL for justice to be done with 0bama, Clintons Crime Syndicate, etc. And it might help more if the citizens who are armed simply stepped up and protected businesses and people being attacked.
You make very good points. It does seem so.
I wonder why the many poor whites in this country who live in the ghettos of our major cities manage to retain their sense of law and order... The children of Appalachia and the Mississippi swamps, or the Bronx and La Slums seem to manage to adapt and improvise without resorting to the same high rates of crime.
The history of African participation in nation-building is abysmal... The lack of respect for law and order among blacks is not solely an American problem... it is a universal problem found in the Black race wherever they live... is that racist or a statement of fact? The key to ending racism is the proper application of law and order, with a mix of social and commercial justice... equal access to wealth. However, one can not make Black Communities conform to the social and cultural maxims that create opportunity and wealth-building... two-parent families, education, a moral society, and work ethic as the road to wealth.... not systemic criminal conduct and the reliance on welfare, from crib to grave.
bingo!.
