"White people make up roughly 62 percent of the U.S. population but only about 49 percent of those who are killed by police officers. African Americans, however, account for 24 percent of those fatally shot and killed by the police despite being just 13 percent of the U.S. population. As The Post noted in a new analysis published last week, that means black Americans are 2.5 times as likely as white Americans to be shot and killed by police officers."

Uh, I wasn't disputing the fact reported by the Washington Post. In fact, I interacted with it. Did you not read the rest of my post?

Cool, but do you have an actual response to the points I've raised instead of trying to say I'm a racist?
I thought this was supposed to be a forum of intellectuals. (just kidding I never thought that, lol).

Why mention it as a bad source then?
Also your Crime Prevention Research Center study was not as you described: http://www.snopes.com/black-police-offic...ck-people/

Also your Crime Prevention Research Center study was not as you described: http://www.snopes.com/black-police-offic...ck-people/ Because the Washingon Post isn't a good source. Neither is Snopes. Snopes is run by a liberal couple lol (used to be anyways). It's not like they're team of PhDs with a penchant for objectivity.
That being said, the statistic I mentioned was reported by the Washington Times. But instead of citing the Washington Times, I cited the source that they cited: the Crime Prevention Research Center. I'm not even going to read the Snopes article because I've actually read the study and I've read the Washington Times article which directly quotes from the study, which says that black officers are more likely to kill blacks than white officers.
Finally, there are other points that I made besides mentioning that the Washington Post sucks and the crime statistic. Those points were actually the heart of my post and I've noticed you ignored them. Choosing instead to harp on me saying the Washington Post sucks and the crime statistic.
By the way, here's that Washington Times article that mentions the statistic. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016...black-cop/ And in that article the Washington Times gives the following quote from the study, "White officers are significantly less likely than black officers to kill black suspects, and they are not statistically significantly different from Hispanic, other race, and unknown race police officers"

The Washington Times is not a good source.

Alright, but I made points that are not connected with the Washington Times, Washington Post, Snopes, or the crime statistic that I mentioned. When are you going to address that? That was the heart of my response.
Also, did you actually read the study or did you just take Snopes' word for it? Here's what the study said, " When either the violent crime rate or the demographics of a city are accounted for, we find that white police officers are not significantly more likely to kill a black suspect. For the estimates where we know the race of the officer who killed the suspect, the ratio of the rate that blacks are killed by black versus white officers is large — ranging from 3 to 5 times larger." https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?...id=2870189
So, now do you understand why Snopes is garbage?
