Black crime

This is from July 2020 article from USA Today The number of unarmed Black shooting victims is down 63% from 2015, when the database began. There are about 7,300 Black homicide victims a year. The 14 unarmed victims in fatal police shootings would comprise only 0.2% of that total. For the last five years, the police have fatally shot about 1,000 civilians annually, the vast majority of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. Black people account for about 23% of those shot and killed by police; they are about 13% of the U.S. population. Noting that Blacks have a disproportionate higher rate but Blacks commit disproportionate higher rates of crime especially serious crime like murder where they account for half of all murders and 55% of armed robberies. There may be good reasons for these stats but cops are necessarily weary when approaching Black suspects. Reasons range from slavery to lack of fathers in the homes. It starts with discipline problems in school and carries over into young adulthood. People are always looking for the root of the problem and reducing the number of police has little to nothing to do with the root.
