Ok try and ignore the fact it's a Rush link and focus on the numbers:
"The fact is that over 6,000 blacks die of homicide each year. That is more than white and Hispanic homicide victims combined, even though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population. And the reason they are dying of homicide at a rate six times higher than whites and Hispanics combined is because they commit homicide at eight times the rate higher than whites and Hispanics combined. And that type of crime disparity means that when the police are trying to save lives, they are in minority neighborhoods confronting people engaged in drive‑by shootings, killing children.
RUSH: Heather, you've just alluded to something that's highly politically incorrect. You've just given numbers, hard evidence, on what is called black-on-black crime. You're not supposed to mention that during incidents like this because the only thing you're supposed to talk about, Heather, is how vicious racist white cops are hunting down innocent black men in neighborhoods. That's the narrative. That's what inner-city youths are being taught. That's what they're being told.
MAC DONALD: Rush, here's another very politically incorrect fact, and I don't want to racialize policing, people should not. But if we're going to talk about race and policing, let's talk about cop killings. Over the last decade, black males made up 40 percent of all cop killers, even though they're six percent of the population. It turns out, Rush, that a police officer is 18-and-a-half times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is likely to be killed by a police officer.

A big part of why this issue never advances is because it's always about what cops [or white people] are doing wrong; and rarely, if ever, what the black community can do about it.
If police officers behave differently in black communities maybe it has to do with the fact the officer is 18 times more likely to be a victim of violence than the black person is.
Maybe white cops should try and know what it is to be black, but that street runs both ways.
