Pure ignorance on your part bro.
Racial patterns
A database collected by The Guardian concluded that 1093 people in 2016 were killed by the police. The rate of fatal police shootings per million was 10.13 for Native Americans, 6.6 for Black people, 3.23 for Hispanics; 2.9 for White people and 1.17 for Asians. The database showed by total that white people, who make up 62% of the US population, were most frequently killed by police than any other race or ethnicity. According to the Washington Post database of police shootings, African Americans are 2.5 times as likely to be killed by a police officer than white people.[31][32] A 2015 study found that unarmed blacks were 3.49 times more likely to be shot by police than were unarmed whites.[33] Another study published in 2016 concluded that the mortality rate of legal interventions among Black and Hispanic people was 2.8 and 1.7 times higher than that among White people. Another 2015 study concluded that black people were 2.8 times more likely to be killed by police than whites. They also concluded that black people were more likely to be unarmed than white people who were in turn more likely to be unarmed than Hispanic people shot by the police.[34][35] A 2018 study in the American Journal of Public Health found the mortality rate by police per 100,000 was 1.9 to 2.4 for black men, 0.8 to 1.2 for Hispanic men and 0.6 to 0.7 for white men.[36]
Your second sentence might well be used as the incidence of criminal offenders among each of those racial/ethnic groups; whites and Asians commit the least crime per capita. You seem unaware that at 13% of the population, black offenders *alone* are responsible for more than half of annual murders and robberies, and are responsible for a per capita rate of violent crime that far outstrips their 13% in all categories. Blacks are far more inclined to be interracial violence offenders than being victims, and more likely to commit violence against police.
Black offenders account for about 37% of all violent crime, non-Hispanic whites about 43%.
Table 43
Table 129
Table 43
From 1980 to 2013, there were 2,269 officers killed in felonious incidents, and 2,896 offenders. The racial breakdown of offenders over the 33-year period was on par with the 10-year period: 52%t were white, and 41% were black. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...likely-to-kill-police/?utm_term=.0666e66adbfc
Be mindful, the category "White" includes Hispanic/Latino who commit considerably more crime than non-Hispanic whites, but far less than blacks.
It could be logically argued that police should be killing far more black men as a percentage of those killed, or killing far fewer whites. Yet, police kills twice as many whites. White officers in particular are less likely to use deadly force against blacks and Hisp/Latinos than are minority officers. Minority officers understand the danger while white officers must consider political factors that have no place in law enforcement decisions.
It isn't a racial thing, but a crime thing and a propensity thing. Jesse Jackson understood it, too - "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
Whether a person is unarmed is not relevant, but what the person was doing at the time of the killing. Whether they are black is irrelevant. Lastly, by far the greatest danger to blacks are other blacks. And police should not be suffocating ANYone to death, accidental or not.
