"Police killed at least 102 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly twice each week. Nearly 1 in 3 black people killed by police in 2015 were identified as unarmed, though the actual number is likely higher due to underreporting37% of unarmed people killed by police were black in 2015 despite black people being only 13% of the U.S. population. Unarmed black people were killed at 5x the rate of unarmed whites in 2015

Only 10 of the 102 cases in 2015 where an unarmed black person was killed by police resulted in officer(s) being charged with a crime, and only 2 of these deaths (Matthew Ajibade and Eric Harris) resulted in convictions of officers involved. Only 1 of 2 officers convicted for their involvement in Matthew Ajibade's death received jail time. He was sentenced to 1 year in jail and allowed to serve this time exclusively on weekends. Deputy Bates, who killed Eric Harris, was sentenced May 31." All information was provided by http://mappingpoliceviolence.org/

Ehh, it starts to make sense when you look at who commits the most violent crimes. For instance, there are far more men in prison than women. This does not mean that the justice system is sexist against men. Certain groups are also far more likely to resist arrest or use violence against police. That also makes sense. 13% of the nation's population commits 80% of the crime. If whites are killed five times less, then blacks are getting a favorable shake when it comes to violent crimes because they commit 6 times as many of them as whites. This means they have less of a chance of being shot by police that whites when the number of crimes are considered. These are CDC stats, not mine. Also, I clap when a drug dealer or child molester get wiped of the map. It's this strange itch I get. The easiest way to not be justifiably shot by police is to not commit a crime. That starts in the home and in the community. I don't have the time to go into the math of those aspects. There have been few instances that were unjustified uses of force, even with the racist justice department running the show. They do exist, but there are not enough to fit the race baiting narrative being crafted. Why is there not a Fed investigation when a black cop shoots a white criminal? When is the last time you saw that? THINK and use your head. ignorance breeds hatred instead of solutions. It's like pulling your throttle all the way back and expecting it to go when you still have the clutch in. A lot of noise, but no movement forward.

LCpl Timothy McCain - Your graph accurately depicts that AAs inflict harm to AAs six times more than by whites.

LTC (Join to see) First, we find that during the 2012/2013 period, blacks committed an average of 560,600 violent crimes against whites, whereas whites committed only 99,403 such crimes against blacks. This means blacks were the attackers in 84.9 percent of the violent crimes involving blacks and whites. This figure is consistent with reports from 2008, the last year DOJ released similar statistics. Perhaps not coincidentally, that was the year Mr. Obama was elected president.

Interestingly, we find that violent interracial crime involving blacks and Hispanics occurs in almost exactly the same proportions as black/white crime: Blacks are the attackers 82.5 percent of the time, while Hispanics are attackers only 17.5 percent of the time.

Sadly, I do NOT hear BLM bitching and complaining about the deaths of black people, only when a Police Officer overreacts. Too often when blacks are murdered no one in the neighborhood who may have seen something that could help the police they simply refuse to rat them out, or worse stand up in court to testify and thus the crime goes unsolved. Why is that?

If more people stood up and spoke out about what they saw, then more crimes would be solved. You cannot blame the police for not being able to solve the murder of a child if there is little to no forensic evidence, and people wont speak up about what they saw.

I grew up in a "redneck", racists family. Many of my cousins would never speak to me again if they knew my wife of 34 years is half Chinese. Hate, fear, distrust, and ignorance are the elements used by people seeking to obtain or hold on to power. I can't abide disingenuous, power hungry people taking advantage of other, less educated people for their own advancement or the advancement of a political party.

5 Devastating Facts About Black-on-Black Crime
by JEROME HUDSON
28 Nov 2015

The mainstream American media is, again, happily hitting the Black Lives Matter crack pipe in its pernicious pursuit of high ratings. These blood-lusting junkies were nowhere to be found when, with haunting predictability, Chicago news headline after headline detailed the carnage that has consumed dozens of communities in that city where black men kill each other with terrifying regularity.

Where were these Black Lives Matter protesters after the slaying of Chicago’s little Tyshawn Lee, the 9-year-old lured into an alley and shot to death by a black man seeking gang-related vengeance against his father?

Did little Tyshawn’s murder at the hands of a black gangster–an all too common occurrence in Chicago–not warrant wall-to-wall news coverage or Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson-style calls for “justice”?

No.

Why?

Because the ugly truth behind #BlackLivesMatter is that black people killing other black people does nothing to advance its political power in the same way that one white cop killing a black criminal can.

Despite the media’s overindulgence on white cops killing blacks, there is still a far-larger amount of black bodies being sent to morgues by black killers. Here’s five devastating facts, liberals can’t deny, that prove it.

FACT 1. Over 1,400 more black Americans murdered other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968.

According to FBI data, 4,906 black people murdered other blacks in 2010 and 2011. That is 1,460 more black Americans killed by other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968, according to the Tuskegee Institute.

FACT 2. Black People (mostly men) commit a grossly disproportionate amount of crime.

In 2012, white males were 38 percent of the population and committed 4,582 murders. That same year, black males were just 6.6 percent of the population but committed a staggering 5,531 murders.

In other words: black people–at just a fifth of the size–committed almost 1,000 more murders than their white counterparts.

The figures above highlight a horrific truth that black racialists and white liberals routinely ignore: Lawbreaking black Americans, young black males particularly, put themselves in close proximity to (mostly white male) police officers at rates sometimes five to 10 times higher than whites. This is a recipe for disaster. Thusly….

FACT 3. Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks committed half of homicides in the United States for nearly 30 years.

DOJ statistics show that between 1980 and 2008, black people committed 52% of homicides.

In 2013, black criminals committed 38% of the murders. Whites accounted for just 31 percent.

There are five times fewer black people than white people in America and, yet, they consistently carry out a larger share of the crimes? Given this rate, it’s no wonder that there aren’t more instances where cops kill black criminals.

FACT 4. Chicago’s death toll is almost equal to that of both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined.

There have been almost as many deaths in one American city as there have been in the two major wars carried out by the U.S. military this century.

Chicago’s death toll from 2001–November, 26 2015 stands at 7,401. The combined total deaths during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2015: 4,815) and Operation Enduring Freedom/Afghanistan (2001-2015: 3,506), total 8,321.

FACT 5. It would take cops 40 years to kill as many black men as have died at the hands of others black men in 2012 alone.

University of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined the latest crime data from the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports and Centers for Disease Control and found that an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012.

Professor Johnson’s research further concluded that 112 black men died from both justified and unjustified police-involved killings annually during this same period.

IDK how old you are I'm 53, a kid of the 70's. If a interracial couple walked down the street it was VERY rare. I have 2 mommies or 2 daddies was the very definition of rare. I think the world is a far more tolerant place than when we were kids. The effort that BLM puts into the recent "protests" could do a lot of good if they addressed REAL problems:
Abortions are killing black babies way more than white.
Black on Black killings in Liberal lead cities like Chicago are devastating. Good post sir.

As usual SFC Alan O., a certain percentage of people miss the point. I'm not talking about who kills who more. Black, White, Latino, Asian, or any other race, killing is wrong. What I am talking about is the power hungry people who use these tragic, senseless, crimes to create fear and distrust, which turns to hatred, to build for themselves a power base, by which they make a living without working. The manufacturer an unelected position of authority over the very people they claim to be helping. The Neo-nazis, the KKK, the Black Panthers, the Black Lives Matter, the Latin Kings, and any of a thousand other groups, they have different agendas and control different groups of people but they are all the same.
The solution isn't easy. Education (affordable and usable trade skill education), employment (that can support a family), respect (for others and for self), purpose (something beyond self). Personally, I believe a Christ centered life is the solution. But, there are certain elements of society that just want to see the world burn and to grab everything they can along the way.
