Disproving Systemic Racism in Law Enforcement

[FindersKeepers]

The media has certainly been on a role lately -- creating the false narrative that there's an epidemic of unarmed blacks being killed by cops.

But, what do the numbers really say?

What correlates most to police shootings and arrests is the crime rate, not race. There are an estimated 375 million annual U.S. police interactions with citizens — in 2019, 999 ended in shooting fatalities by police (0.0003%), and 14 were unarmed blacks (0.000004%). Only one of those shootings was not attempting to resist or evade arrest (0.0000003%). (Source: Washington Post.)

Sometimes law enforcement tragically misses the mark (as do all professions), but we shouldn't destroy or defund the whole law enforcement structure because of a few rogue incidents. We should deal with them. Bad cops should be fired just as bad teachers should be removed. Nobody hates bad cops more than good cops.

What I've heard as well is that statistically more whites are shot in police encounters than blacks.

We don't hear this because the statistics are so low as to be insignificant.

Right, the numbers are very very low of black males being shot possibly maliciously by cops.
