1. Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015. According to datacompiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. The majority of these victims had a gun or “were armed or otherwise threatening the officer with potentially lethal force,” according to MacDonald.
Except of course any thinking person would recognize that blacks are much smaller population(13% of population, while whites are 63%), so this very statistic adjusted for population ratio means that a black person is ~2.5 times more likely to get shot by police than a white person.
A mistake that gross gives away a blatant bias of the author and discredits the article.
EDIT: Oh yea it's West. No surprises there.
