Sorry for this being a little off topic but unlike the media which thinks with the heart, programmers tend to think with their head. I want to believe in the idea of "systemic police racism" over blaming all police for a few bad cops. Since this group supports the idea of "systemic police racism", my question is where can I find the facts that suggest "systemic police racism" is true?
Please don't start a discussion because I only want to see the facts for myself. I will only read short simple responses and better would be a trusted website. Here are some facts I collected. I analyzed the FBI and CDC databases but they show violence, fear, distrust and disrespect from both sides instead of racism. Murder arrests (not a white privilege crime) are 5 times as many blacks as whites (by group population). The media report facts to prove "systemic police racism" such as police kill 4.9 times as many blacks as whites (by group population) but never mention that in a "police / suspect" situation, 68 times as many police officers die as blacks (by group population). No one mentions that we could save more than 7,000 black men each year killed by gun by outlawing firearms. >From the Washington Post, totals for 2015 to 2019 4.9 unarmed Black men per million by police 1.1 unarmed Hispanic men per million by police 1.0 unarmed White men per million by police >From my calculations for 2015 to 2019 331 police officers feloniously murdered per million 1,952 black male murder victims per million 1,590 black male murder victims by gun per million 188 white male murder victims per million Arrests: Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter 5,025 black 46% (115 per million 68%) 4,188 white 38% (21 per million 12%) 1,462 hispanic 13% (24 per million 14%) 255 other 2% (10 per million 6%) Arrests: Weapons; carrying, possessing, etc. 56,143 black 37% (1,286 per million 60%) 68,787 white 46% (347 per million 16%) 23,125 hispanic 15% (385 per million 18%) 3,079 other 2% (117 per million 5%) Arrests: Rape 5,182 black 24% (119 per million 44%) 12,187 white 56% (61 per million 23%) 3,787 hispanic 17% (63 per million 23%) 694 other 3% (26 per million 10%) Arrests: Aggravated assault 101,513 black 28% (2,325 per million 48%) 188,087 white 52% (949 per million 20%) 61,107 hispanic 17% (1,017 per million 21%) 13,341 other 4% (508 per million 11%) Arrests: Violent crime 151,744 black 31% (3,476 per million 53%) 236,590 white 49% (1,193 per million 18%) 79,078 hispanic 16% (1,316 per million 20%) 15,902 other 3% (606 per million 9%) Graphically, this shows that for violent crimes, Hispanics and whites are similar but blacks are significantly higher.
