Statistically Speaking
Is a young black man more likely to be killed by police or by other black men?

From my observations - in Michigan - we see shooting daily - but it never makes national news. Unless it is a cop. Then it's "a story".

What am I missing?

The internet you can understand. Whackjob theories and internet go together like priests and pedophiles....

It amazes me that the MSM ignores the larger story - a story multitudes larger ...

You're missing that the cops aren't stopping the black on black violence.
So if I'm black and another black person hurts me, I have less chance of receiving help from the cops plus more chance of being hurt by the cops as well.
Don't worry, heaps of black people are missing that as well.

Here's an idea, how about the blacks stopping the black on black violence.

Why should they have to?
They pay taxes, the cops should have been protecting them from other blacks this whole time.

They certainly don't 'have to' any more than any other group has to stop violence.  But it is a piece to the puzzle.

To cut down on violence...stop being violent.

Seriously? Should they play the victim or get their house in order?

Seriously?

How are the cops supposed to stop black on black violence? Assign a cop to every black guy?

It seems to me the people most suited to stopping the violence are the ones doing it......


But gee - don't let logic stop ya....

RE: Statistically Speaking
Why would every black man need a cop assigned to them? Can't they handle violence the same way that they do in predominantly white and affluent neighborhoods? Do you realize that you're peddling racist tropes and calling it logic?
