Here's something I found interesting. I'm not sure how it got calculated because police kill around 1,000 people a year in the US and about 300 black people a year in the US. https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793 https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793 According to this the chance of black male being killed by police (over lifetime?) is 1 in 1000. The chance of a white male being killed is 1 in 2000. The chance of a female being killed is 1 in 33000. I'm not sure what to say here. Are more men getting killed because men behave more violently (well probably)? Or are more men getting killed because of some bias?

If you're taking feedback here mine would be to avoid drawing such enormous conclusion from such a minimal, uncontextualized set of data.

Clearly theres a bias against men, even if they’re not violent they’re perceived as more dangerous because they’re potentially stronger. Men are also more likely to be part of a gang, women, not so much. Now add the race to the mix and black and hispanic men are very high on their radar. We’ve been hearing of racial profiling complaints for a while, for at least 15-20, it is a true thing.

  Men are, on average, stronger than women. That's just how the biology worked out to have men be the original hunters. Doesn't mean women can't be strong but it's easier for a man to get stronger than a woman.

Look at the question case by case, instead of statistically. You can see that almost all are killed as a result of their own violent behavior towards police or others.

  It appears US police kills more people than police in Russia, or is roughly on par. Most years police in UK kills zero. Do you want to compete with authoritarian states in number of deaths caused by police?

    There were ten cases of unarmed black Americans killed by police in 2019. Which of those killings do you disagree with?

      Do you understand that US police kills people at a rate thats totally unseen outside of dictatorships and bana republics? Not just black people - white people, asians, there is no demographic who's deathrate is acceptable for a developed nation. Why is that? Either us police is out control, or you have some sort of mass-criminal-psycosis going on over there, and it stops at the canadian border. You want to go case by case? Explain how can police kill a woman sleeping in her house. To me this is unbelievable. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1205651 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna12...

        Yes, I want you to go case by case, and understand what most of them are like, instead of picking just those that are examples of bad policing. > Either us police is out control, or you have some sort of mass-criminal-psycosis going on over there, Why not both? We do have police problems. We also have mass criminal psychosis. (Just look at the news recently...)

The Color of Crime: • Black males age 18-35 years of age are only 1.8% of the U.S. population, yet have committed 52% of homicides from 1980-2008. Black males (all ages) are only 6% of the U.S. population, yet commit 46% of all violent crimes, and 50% of the gun homicides. If Blacks were removed from the equation, the U.S. gun homicide rate would be equal to Great Britain's, who have some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the world. • The Black homicide rate is 17 per 100,000, a rate over 9x that of the White rate, and comparable to some of those most murderous countries in the world. If the homicide rate for the U.S. were the White-only rate, the homicide rate would drop 84%, making the U.S. rate comparable to European countries. • According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics 2018 survey of criminal victimization, there were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations (excluding homicide) between Blacks and Whites last year, including White-on-Black and Black-on-White attacks. Blacks committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies, or 90 percent, and Whites committed 56,394 of them, or less than 10 percent. • According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting for 2018, of the homicide victims for whom race was known, 53.3% were Black, 43.8% were White and 2.8% were of other races. In cases where the race of the offender was known, 54.9% were Black, 42.4% were White, and 2.7% were of other races. • Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving Blacks and Whites, Blacks commit 85 percent and Whites commit 15 percent. This means that a Black is 27 times more likely to attack a White person than vice versa. • For each one standard deviation increase in proportion of Black population, firearm homicide rate is increased by 82.8%. Therefore, the U.S. has a Black problem, not a gun or violent crime problem. When Blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-Blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife. • 40% of gun crime occurs in just three cities: 596 (10%) - St Louis, MO, 53 (11%) - Detroit, MI, and 1,527 (27%) - Chicago, IL. • Murder is the leading cause of death for Black men, ages 15 to 34. Their murderers are other Black men 93 percent of the time. • Black males between 16-35 years of age are only 4.2% of the population, yet commit 72% of the street crime in America. • The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is Black. • If New York City were all White, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent. In an all-White Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent. • The United States is third in murders throughout the world, but if you omit just five Black cities (Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, St Louis, and New Orleans) from the equation, then the United States is fourth from the bottom. • Black serial killers have comprised over half of documented serial killers since the dawn of the 21st century at 56 percent, making up a total of 40 percent in years dating back to 1900. Blacks constituted 44% of the known serial killers during the 1995-2004 period and 38.2% of all multiple murderers (serial, mass, and spree combined) during 1976-1998 period. During the 2000-2010 decade, 62% of serial killers were Black. https://www.scribd.com/doc/305240780/The-Color-of-Crime https://www.scribd.com/doc/305240780/The-Color-of-Crime https://archive.org/details/6396bf06c11b81777c27ca0edcb4fdbb4ae17354576954101f6d https://archive.org/details/6396bf06c11b81777c27ca0edcb4fdbb... 6ce3a015b806 https://archive.org/details/SerialKillerRate https://archive.org/details/SerialKillerRate 2019 Data Shows 51% of Mass Shooters Were Black, Only 29% Were White: https://summit.news/2019/08/07/2019-data-shows-51-of-mass-shooters-were-black-only-29-were-white/ https://summit.news/2019/08/07/2019-data-shows-51-of-mass-sh...
