If you assume the same rate for the rest of 2016, that would total 49.4

Conclusion: OP remains a faggot.

And there are about 1m cops.

In contrast there are at least 30,000 traffic fatalities each year since 1946. IOW, you are 4 times more likely to die in a car wreck than you are to be killed in the line of duty. Nevermind that they volunteered for the job.

Proportionally?

Note to Shaun King:

Whites make up 72.4% of the population. Do the math, son.

*King crickets*

[boutons_deux]

the proportion doesn't matter. the rightwingnut racist hate media trashing of BLM says it's the BLACKS only who are "warring" on cops.

the hate media NEVER mentions that whites kill more cops than blacks.

nor that there are more whites on public assistance than blacks, where the message is that blacks, browns ONLY are takers, cheaters, lazy, moochers.

the repug/rightwing strategy is, has been totally racist. Trash is making it all BLATANT and 10Ms of racists love his lying, racist, xenophobic policies.

I'm new here, does Ducks usually get destroyed in the first post or is it a more suspenseful ownage?

No...his posts are usually insipid enough that any special needs chimp can spank him immediately. :lol

If you want to do it right then you need to bias by police stops/interactions. Cops stop and arrest many more minorities proportionally too. I don't know how it all works out.

What would happen if said minorities were committing crimes at a disproportionate rate?

[Spurminator]

What would happen if said minorities were committing crimes at a disproportionate rate?

Do you have data on crimes committed which factors in crimes that were not caught by law enforcement?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I'd say that in the context of police killings that it wouldn't help your case either way.

In the context of these police killings, how many were fighting with police or were armed?

I'll concede that I have seen a few unarmed, nonviolent people shot by cops, but it's very few.

You don't think 38 out of 1m is a large enough percentage to make this a serious issue?

.0038%? My thing is that even with the 'uptick' it's nothing compared to historical trends.

We are talking about cop fatalities not the other way around. 72% of cops are killed by white people which is really close to the demographic split. However cops stop minorities at a greater rate than the demographic proportion. That is what I am saying.

I get that you want to justify police killing others but that is not what we are discussing.

[SnakeBoy]

.0038%?

That's not enough for you to consider this a serious problem?

more cops die from auto accidents because Real Macho Men don't buckle up, than from criminals shooting them.

Criminals killing cops is part of the job, for both of them.

Cops killing unarmed, non-threatening blacks shouldn't be part of Living While Black.

What percentage of blacks have been killed by police officers so far this year? And what percentage of those killed were unarmed & non threatening?

Nobody who is unarmed, non-threatening should be shot by the Lie-and-Deny, trigger-happy, blood-thirsty cops. #PercentagesDontMatter

You could have just said you don't know.

add 4-6 more now

the president should not call out the policemen!

Nobody forced them to be cops.

If they would quit slaughtering blacks, they would get better cooperation to catch the cop killers and other criminals.

But, I agree, cops getting killed is the perfect justification for cops slaughtering 100s unarmed, non-threatening blacks every year. :)

they have to get a job somehow since the economy is so great you know!
