If more white people was killed by police than African Americans why are they protesting?

Ehh, it starts to make sense when you look at who commits the most violent crimes. For instance, there are far more men in prison than women. This does not mean that the justice system is sexist against men. Certain groups are also far more likely to resist arrest or use violence against police. That also makes sense. 13% of the nation's population commits 80% of the crime. If whites are killed five times less, then blacks are getting a favorable shake when it comes to violent crimes because they commit 6 times as many of them as whites. This means they have less of a chance of being shot by police that whites when the number of crimes are considered. These are CDC stats, not mine. Also, I clap when a drug dealer or child molester get wiped of the map. It's this strange itch I get. The easiest way to not be justifiably shot by police is to not commit a crime. That starts in the home and in the community. I don't have the time to go into the math of those aspects. There have been few instances that were unjustified uses of force, even with the racist justice department running the show. They do exist, but there are not enough to fit the race baiting narrative being crafted. Why is there not a Fed investigation when a black cop shoots a white criminal? When is the last time you saw that? THINK and use your head. ignorance breeds hatred instead of solutions. It's like pulling your throttle all the way back and expecting it to go when you still have the clutch in. A lot of noise, but no movement forward.

Thats Black on Black. More White people an hispanics top the list. Every 14 hours a black child is shot not by the police officer but by anothere black person.

I grew up in a "redneck", racists family. Many of my cousins would never speak to me again if they knew my wife of 34 years is half Chinese. Hate, fear, distrust, and ignorance are the elements used by people seeking to obtain or hold on to power. I can't abide disingenuous, power hungry people taking advantage of other, less educated people for their own advancement or the advancement of a political party.

5 Devastating Facts About Black-on-Black Crime
by JEROME HUDSON
28 Nov 2015

The mainstream American media is, again, happily hitting the Black Lives Matter crack pipe in its pernicious pursuit of high ratings. These blood-lusting junkies were nowhere to be found when, with haunting predictability, Chicago news headline after headline detailed the carnage that has consumed dozens of communities in that city where black men kill each other with terrifying regularity.

Where were these Black Lives Matter protesters after the slaying of Chicago’s little Tyshawn Lee, the 9-year-old lured into an alley and shot to death by a black man seeking gang-related vengeance against his father?

Did little Tyshawn’s murder at the hands of a black gangster–an all too common occurrence in Chicago–not warrant wall-to-wall news coverage or Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson-style calls for “justice”?

No.

Why?

Because the ugly truth behind #BlackLivesMatter is that black people killing other black people does nothing to advance its political power in the same way that one white cop killing a black criminal can.

Despite the media’s overindulgence on white cops killing blacks, there is still a far-larger amount of black bodies being sent to morgues by black killers. Here’s five devastating facts, liberals can’t deny, that prove it.

FACT 1. Over 1,400 more black Americans murdered other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968.

According to FBI data, 4,906 black people murdered other blacks in 2010 and 2011. That is 1,460 more black Americans killed by other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968, according to the Tuskegee Institute.

FACT 2. Black People (mostly men) commit a grossly disproportionate amount of crime.

In 2012, white males were 38 percent of the population and committed 4,582 murders. That same year, black males were just 6.6 percent of the population but committed a staggering 5,531 murders.

In other words: black people–at just a fifth of the size–committed almost 1,000 more murders than their white counterparts.

The figures above highlight a horrific truth that black racialists and white liberals routinely ignore: Lawbreaking black Americans, young black males particularly, put themselves in close proximity to (mostly white male) police officers at rates sometimes five to 10 times higher than whites. This is a recipe for disaster. Thusly….

FACT 3. Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks committed half of homicides in the United States for nearly 30 years.

DOJ statistics show that between 1980 and 2008, black people committed 52% of homicides.

In 2013, black criminals committed 38% of the murders. Whites accounted for just 31 percent.

There are five times fewer black people than white people in America and, yet, they consistently carry out a larger share of the crimes? Given this rate, it’s no wonder that there aren’t more instances where cops kill black criminals.

FACT 4. Chicago’s death toll is almost equal to that of both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined.

There have been almost as many deaths in one American city as there have been in the two major wars carried out by the U.S. military this century.

Chicago’s death toll from 2001–November, 26 2015 stands at 7,401. The combined total deaths during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2015: 4,815) and Operation Enduring Freedom/Afghanistan (2001-2015: 3,506), total 8,321.

FACT 5. It would take cops 40 years to kill as many black men as have died at the hands of others black men in 2012 alone.

University of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined the latest crime data from the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports and Centers for Disease Control and found that an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012.

Professor Johnson’s research further concluded that 112 black men died from both justified and unjustified police-involved killings annually during this same period.

Because we only hear what the main stream media want us to hear. Because some of the leading figures in our nation wants to keep the United States in strife, fighting each other so we can't focus on the real problems our nation is currently facing, maybe like national debt, some of the bills which have passed silently through Congress and we've been too unfocused to notice. As long as we Americans are divided, we can't be united and this is the way we will be defeated from with in.

Half of the comments here are straight bullshit and I'll tell you why. Statistics are based on how many documented, that means if something wasn't documented then it wasn't included. Plus the whole issue of everybody trying to dumb down the issue of lives being lost unjustly shows fucking ignorance. The point is that people were unjustly killed by scum who slipped through the cracks to wear a badge they didn't deserve to wear. If you want to get technical white people are more prone to violence than any other race against other races and even other whites. Need proof? KKK, Aryan Brotherhood, CCofC, Army of God, the list goes on but Blacks and other minorities are more prone to violence, right? Here's the thing about statistics, they could always be doctored up in order to someone's advantage, people tend to forget that. The weird thing is that some of you who have made the comments you have actually been fooled into thinking that life is fair for everyone. The truth is that it's not. The truth is that it's not fair for everyone. Racism exists in this country from goverment on down to the individual and until people actually start seeing shit for what it really is nothing will change, it will continue to be a clusterfuck. Some of you don't want to hear the words "white privilege" because it makes you antsy. You don't want to even fathom that your chances of succeeding in life are greater because of the color of your skin as opposed to somebody of a different color. Am I saying you all are racist? No I don't believe either one of you are racist and I'll tell you why, you serve or have served beside people of color and even hang out with them. I'm so sure of that because our military branches consist of people from different races, cultures, genders and backgrounds, and yes, even with that fact there is still prejudice in our armed forces but it is not tolerated or at least I would like to think so. Anyway, I don't think that neither one of you are racist, misogynistic or prejudiced but I do think you're misinformed. How many of you have actually ever hung out in a black neighborhood? What I mean by that is actually go to someone's house or maybe a bar or nightclub in a black neighborhood? I'm pretty sure you haven't. You get your information from the news and you trust that information because "why would they lie," right? So from that your view of Blacks and any other color is that of being whiney. You can't see that you've been bushwhacked and bullshitted for the simple purpose of profit. You can't see that you've been influenced to hate someone for the profit of someone who hates you and the people you've been influenced to hate but they fooled you by telling you that you are just like them, when in reality, they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. They would only placate you long enough to achieve their purpose then throw you away like disguarded trash, and blame the people they influenced you to hate as the reason for your loss, when in fact it is them who fucked you over. So you're fooled into thinking that the people of color are your problem when they are just trying to do the same thing you're trying to do and that's live. Your real problem are the people who look like you who benefit from you not realizing they are conning you for profit and who can easily achieve this by claiming that they are just like you, when they are not and look down on you with the same superiority as they do everyone else, and fool you into thinking everyone else is your problem. The whole idea that any of you would even think of trying to down play a movement that's about saving lives with bullshit statistics is beyond me. Statistics shouldn't even be a factor, the fact that people are unjustly dying as a result of gross incompetence should be more important than some fucking statistics. It's just like the issue of gun violence, instead of actually sitting down at the table and coming up with ideas of how to at least attempt to solve the problem, They are fighting like two bratty kids over a fucking toy. The loss of life is a serious fucking issue I don't give two fucks what color, race, gender you are, it's fucking problem that needs to be dealt with. You and I took an oath to defend this country against all enemies foreign and domestic, unjustifiable death are one of the enemies of this country and for us to down play a movement that is trying to change that is going against that oath. So take it how you want, I don't actually give a fuck but that's how it is. Now, you could either support the Black Lives Matter movement or not but don't start acting like it's just people whinning for no reason because it's not. I've had my say on this and if it made some of you angry, then good maybe it takes some of you getting angry before you realize that the loss of life unjustly is a serious problem in America that must be dealt with. Maybe it takes you being angry for you to pull your heads out of your asses and see that this is an important issue that needs to be taken seriously. If you value life then you should be in support of a movement with the intent on preserving life. So I'm gonna end this because I sure that most of you are just itching to get into a fucking pissing contest with me over my statements but I could careless. Semper Fi, OOHRAH!

I don't want to repeat or rephrase the point 2LT Michael Tobin was trying to make, so I'll just add this: I was curious..., so after doing a little research, I think it would be useful for you to start checking the sources of your sources and yeah, their sources too. Actually, take a good look at their excel spreadsheets and databases. I'm not saying, personal web sites For-the-Friend-of-So-and-So, and a collection of newspaper articles doesn't have any value, but the credibility if often questionable and subject to bias. Just something to consider when digesting all these numbers and statistics.

The bias is well-documented. Racial profiling, stereotypes and the "war on drugs" with sentences drastically higher for crack cocaine than regular cocaine (crack is more prevalent among African Americans) are all well known instances of the institutional racism that lingers in this country.

Black Lives Matter is a movement, much like the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and the Women's Suffrage movement of the 1890s and 1900s with a single purpose of righting a wrong.

Your syntax has me confused. Are you asking why aren't Whites protesting or why are Blacks Protesting?

Here is a statistical analysis that comes to a different conclusion about blacks being shot by police. He found blacks were LESS likely to be shot by police but more likely to beat blacks than whites. Do cops that discriminate need to be removed , yes!

False stats.
