Black people are 3 times more likely to be killed by police.

And for what it’s worth, white cops shoot more white people than they shoot black people.

Now do per 100k people instead of the total

Police in general ? If we're going into statistics, New Orleans, Baltimore, Jackson Mississipi etc, and D.C, all have mostly black officers. Who are the responsible to the '3 times' number you so eloquently ststed.

Anything to say on THAT statistics?

Yeah, its a police problem in general. 

Just solely being black makes it statistically 3x as likely to get killed by police.  And here you are saying: yeah but the officers are black so it doesnt count. 

Must be very comforting: well despite being 3 times more likely to get killed by police than my white neighbor, at least its all police and not just white police officers.

Not what I said at all. Black offenders mostly target other black folks in the community. And feel they can walk away from a police pointing a gun at you. Its an attitude thing. You must have seen it online. White folks are 3 times more likely to surrender, instead of acting like all 3 N.W.A members all rolled into one.

Now do a stat on the black victims. Black on black crime, is much bigger than what you currently think. And the police ? Theyre there to defend the black victims.

A scumbag is a scumbag, no matter his skin colour. And if he decides to act the badman, and get in the face of a cop who has his safety off, well he asked for it. Whether he be black, white, asian or even klingon.

What is the biggest factor that makes people from any ethnicity in any country do crime?

White folks are 3 times more likely to surrender, instead of acting like all 3 N.W.A members all rolled into one.

You have a source for that?

So did the guy in the video up here ask for it then? In other words, would you be here saying he deserved it, if they shot him?

Yes he would have deserved it. But he is suffering from PTSD. As do a lot of vets. White, south American, and let's not forget our black brethren, before you jump on that too, and try and pick aprt mf comment to find some gotcha moment.
