well, you need to filter those results based on demograhic and psychographic factors as well. for instance, what's the overwhelmingly prevalent demo/psychographic background of WHITE criminals? they're usually from broken homes, poor ruban communities, etc, etc. probably around 15% of the white U.S. population fit those specific characteristics but 60% of the black population fit this. but you RARELY see black criminals who are college educated, or from black middle class families where their parents were college educated and live in the 'burbs. you rarely ever do. kids from good backgrounds (black or white) RARELY commit violent crimes. if they do commit a crime, they'll commit white collar (non-violent) crimes instead.![]()
The statistic that matters most to cops is probably that blacks make up 40% of all cop killers, stats which have been removed from the report from which I also found this:
Of the 27 officers feloniously killed, six were killed in arrest situations, five were investigating suspicious persons or circumstances, five were ambushed, four were involved in tactical situations, four were answering disturbance calls, and two were conducting traffic pursuits/stops. One was conducting an investigative activity, such as surveillance, a search, or an interview.
If you were a policeman and almost all killed policemen are white and you stopped a black guy, knowing that he is several, multiple times more likely to kill you statistically, wouldn't you then perhaps be a bit more on edge?
