Police shot and killed 986 people in 2015 - part deux

[USFREEDOM911]

On the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, Las Vegas police officers cornered Keith Childress Jr., who was wanted for a number of violent felonies. They opened fire on the black 23-year-old after he refused to drop the object in his hands, which turned out not to be a gun but a cellphone. And with that, the nation logged what was probably its final police shooting death of 2015, a year in which 986 such killings occurred, well more than double the average number reported annually by the FBI over the past decade.

The shooting is the final one to be counted as part of The Washington Post’s year-long project tracking on-duty police killings by firearm, an issue that has taken on new urgency after a number of high-profile killings of unarmed African American men. The Post sought to document every shooting death at the hands of police in 2015, and it revealed troubling patterns in the circumstances that led to such shootings and the characteristics of the victims...

Over the past year, The Post found that the vast majority of those shot and killed by police were armed and half of them were white. Still, police killed blacks at three times the rate of whites when adjusted for the populations where these shootings occurred. And although black men represent 6 percent of the U.S. population, they made up nearly 40 percent of those who were killed while unarmed...

Childress’s death in many ways encapsulates the complex nature of these incidents. On one hand, the young man was unarmed, carrying nothing but a cellphone. At the same time, he had a history that suggested a capacity for violence, and he behaved suspiciously, ignoring officers’ commands for a full two minutes and advancing even as the officers threatened to shoot. While communicating with local police, however, the marshals conveyed incorrect information — that Childress was wanted for attempted murder, McMahill said."

I saw the following before, in this past week; but couldn't find where it was.

Someone conveniently posted a link to the statistics, on FB, so I decided to share.

Milo Yiannopoulos explains why “black lives don’t matter to ‘Black Lives Matter'”

Milo Yiannopoulos spoke at the University of California Irvine last month, as part of “The Dangerous Faggot Tour.” On this night, a major part of his talk was dedicated to exposing Black Lives Matter and how they aren’t actually doing much to save black lives.

Here are the 5 most important Facts he pointed out:


1. “It would take 40 years worth of blacks killed by cops to equal the number of black killed by other blacks in one year”

2. “Less than 400 people a year are killed by cops, 61% of them are white. 32% are black”

3. “Black males are 58% of those killed by justifiable self defense…75% of those are by other blacks.”

4. “Blacks are 27% more likely to attacks whites than vice versa…8 times more likely to attack hispanics”

5. “90% of murdered black die at the hands of other blacks.”

I found this also:

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Yup - cops kill twice as many whites as blacks but the press won't mention that. And for every black killed by a cop, 40 are killed by other blacks!!!

Why can't we tell the truth in this country?
