Where i got one so source cannot copy link it seems
Mac Donald argued in her presentation, however, that data should not be discounted when deciding if there is bias in policing and if you look closely at crime statistics they will reveal a far different narrative than the one pushed in media.
“In order to save lives, cops go where people are most being victimized, and that is in minority neighborhoods. To understand policing, you first have to look at the facts of crime, however uncomfortable it may be to do so. I’m going to focus on fatal police shootings, because that has been the focus as well of the Black Lives Matter movement,” she said.
“In 2015, cops killed 991 people — the vast majority, armed and dangerous. Fifty percent of the victims of police shootings were white, though you would never know it from the press coverage. Among the white victims of fatal police shootings was a 50-year-old in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in a domestic violence incident, who ran at the officer with a spoon, and a 28-year-old driver in Des Moines, Iowa, who led the police on a car chase and then walked quickly towards the shooting officer,” she explained.
She argued that if the two white victims had been black, their deaths would have been a national story but their deaths weren’t highlighted because they did not fit into the victim narrative.
She then cited statistics from the Department of Justice showing blacks committing murders at a higher rate than all other racial groups and dying of homicide at a higher rate as well.
“According to the Justice Department, blacks die of homicide at six times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined. That’s because blacks commit homicide at eight times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined … In the 75 largest counties of the United States, which is where most of the population resides, blacks commit over 50 percent of all violent crime, though they’re 15 percent of the population in those counties,” she said. “These crime disparities are repeated in every big American city. Here in New York, blacks commit 75 percent of all shootings, though they’re 23 percent of the population. How do we know that? That’s what the victims of and witnesses to those shootings, who are overwhelmingly minority themselves, tell the police.”
Joe, all this report shows is the victim, suspect, and arrest numbers - just charges, nothing about whether those arrested and charged were actually found guilty or not. It does clearly show that minorities are more often suspected but the arrestee percentages are consistently lower than the suspected column, except for whites which are consistently higher (albeit the percentage is smaller, but that simply suggests that minorities are suspected and arrested more often, this does not denote actual guilt as I previously stated). It also shows that minorities were more often stopped and frisked than whites were that year so I guess I'm not sure what you mean when you say "the proportion of blacks and Hispanics that are arrested or stopped and frisked is LOWER than the proportion that DO the violent crimes." At least not with this NYC 2016 publication.

This one may be behind a paywall. I hope you can access it. And written by a black man. I think what I sent (although I can’t find the one what that was very informative) gives you an idea of what I am getting at.
I found the one you couldn't post, it was a hosted debate. I'm really tired now so I'll just leave this last link and come back tomorrow. Statista - Rate of fatal police shootings in the United States from 2015 to July 2020, by ethnicity (per million of the population)
Aussie I do not agree. I come from France and I would like, I would really like to have a police like the one in the USA. In France the police are pu ssy, in the USA the police do a great job. Blacks in the USA are extremely aggressive when they have contact with a policeman. If the policeman orders you to raise your hands up and the guy does not comply, what is the policeman supposed to do, make him a coffee? let's be serious
It's pure hypocrisy what black people in the states are doing at this moment. They make a 'peaceful' demonstration and they demolish the city, they steal from shops. If I were President Trump, I'd use real ammunition and shoot these people, seriously, it can't be.
Let the players do what they do best, i.e. play basketball, because they are not masters of intellect (I mean black players)
sry for my bad english
Fools
And what I am saying about that graph is that it is in line (75% for black /hispanic... maybe a bit higher but there may be a reason for that since they commit a larger percentage of violent crimes in general) with % that do the crimes AND are found guilty 75% in NYC and 57% nationwide. Will try to get more stuff later but kind of blowing up Aussies thread here lol. What I am trying to find is that Dept of Justice stat that the woman alludes to. I cant find it now. So this is why I included what she said. Hope you had a chance to open the WSJ article as well. A busy day for me.
Brutal
luka a 21 year old didnt play a victim so why are you?
i was with you until you said the wnba players arent masters of the intellect and highlighted the black players. guessing you believe the whites ones are. you are no better than the people on the far left.
