Stats: Black Americans are 1000x more likely to make NFL/NBA than be shot by a cop

[bucs90]

What a bullshit article that doesnt say what you think it says.
They even hide the numbers at the bottom because they dont reflect the articles premise.
Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

There are 1150 blacks in the NFL and 310 in the NBA for a total of 1460 blacks

600 blacks are killed each year by police

Hardly 1000 times more likely is it?

Your article says ....
"Of the 547 people found by the Guardian to have been killed by law enforcement so far this year, 49.7% were white, 28.3% were black"

OK.....300 blacks killed by police each year
1460 blacks in the NFL and NBA

Five times more likely to play in the NBA than to be killed by a cop

Not 1000 times

But why arent white people rioting in the streets? They get killed far more often than blacks.
You're so gullible ....

Why don't you explain to us how many more whites there are than blacks?

That's true. Many more whites in the population. That's white more are killed by cops. AND...the murder rate and totals should also skew white....right?

I say the OP numbers are BS

US police killings headed for 1,100 this year, with black Americans twice as likely to die

There are 1150 black players in the NFL

Not 1000 times

Odds a black is killed by a cop in any given year: 0.000005
Odds a black makes an NFL roster: 0.09

That's hard raw numbers.

You are counting current players mostly who have been on the roster for many years. NFL teams only add 5 or so rookies per year.

My numbers are accurate.

But...even YOUR numbers....an 18 year old black male in America is 5x more likely to end up being an NBA player than to be killed by a cop.

Does that not seem like this "crisis" is insanely overblown????

Of that 1100....most are NOT black. Idiot. And most players are in the last NFL for many years...meaning the stat is odds of MAKING it there.

28% of shootings by police are black...That makes roughly 300 for just ONE year.
Typical pro career is eight years

There would be 2400 blacks killed in that period

Your "1000 times more likely" is obviously made up

You're wrong. Average NFL career is NOT 8 years.

It's usually 4 years...

No it doesn't. Which is why it'd insanely rare.

I just can't imagine the need for such excessive use of force, but then again...It is a rational not shared by everyone..The abilities and training give confidence to resolve issues without it..

Between abortion and murdering each other. Blacks are their worst enemy.

If someone is shooting at me or trying to stab me...yes. absolutely justified. That accounts for most of them.

The questionable ones are so insanely uncommon it's laughable that cities burn over it.

Yes I agree, but I wouldn't stand for any of my kids getting killed questionably...

Well, not so much.

Oh no? What's your definition of "rare"???

I'd say a 0.000009% chance is quite rare. Agree?

But why arent white people rioting in the streets? They get killed far more often than blacks.
You're so gullible ....

Why don't you explain to us how many more whites there are than blacks?

Funny.....every time we talk about the percentage of blacks on welfare percentages dont seem to matter.

OK..we can talk about blacks on welfare and compare to whites in similar socioeconomic conditions

Which of course leads back to blacks and their penchant for crime.
