[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not need any skill at statistics to see that if twice as many white people as black people are killed by officers but there are five times as many white people as black people, that black people are killed at a disproportionate rate. That's simple math.[/quote] But it IS proportional to the crime rate for each race. When you adjust for that, it's an equal number of white people as black people being killed. I looked this up the other day but don't know what to say about it. Not exactly the type of thing you put on facebook when you and a large chunk of your friends are liberal. [/quote] Actually that's not true; blacks are killed at rates lower than you would expect based on the different crime rates. Blacks are ~30% of the people killed but commit 40-50% of violent crimes.[/quote]
