Trump denies the fact that police kill Black Americans at a higher rate than white

[jacksonsprat22]

Statistics show that while more white Americans are killed by the police over all, minorities are killed at higher rates. A federal study that examined lethal force used by the police between 2009 and 2012 found that a majority of victims were white, but the victims were disproportionately Black. Black people had a fatality rate at the hands of police officers that was 2.8 times higher than that of white people.

Asked About Black Americans Killed by Police, Trump Says, ‘So Are White People’

Mr. Trump falsely claimed that a white couple in St. Louis who confronted peaceful marchers outside their home with guns were on the verge of being beaten and having their home burned down.

“They were going to be beat up badly, and the house was going to be totally ransacked and probably burned down,” Mr. Trump said.

Video of the incident, which became a flash point in the national debate over racial inequality, showed that the protesters at no point physically threatened the couple.

Looks like minorities must be committing crimes at a higher rate then, especially from blacks.

"Looks likes?!" Lame.

"Looks likes?!" Lame.

Disproportionately black? They must be commiting a disproportionate amount of crime or disproportionately resisting arrest.

Based on nothing. Nice opinion.

Your opening post is pretty lame since the appropriate stats are not there.

Your opening post is pretty lame since the appropriate stats are not there.

The Washington Post has been tracking fatal police shootings — a category of events that excludes deaths like Floyd’s — since 2015. Over that time, we’ve tallied more than 5,000 such incidents, a bit less than half of which have led to the deaths of white suspects. Those shot and killed by police have been white almost twice as often as they’ve been black.

kind of sad you had to lie about what he said......is that because you aren't smart enough to deal with the truth?......or is it simply because you're a lib'rul and can't bring yourself to speak it?.....

Meaningless stat if we don't know how many of them were shooting back at the cops, or were armed and resisting arrest.

He didn't actually deny it, he just said that in raw numbers, cops kill more white people.

Meaningful because over twice the proportion of blacks get shot than whites.
