Did a little research - found a massive amount of statistics regarding crime, the police, and race. I will try to cite some of them, without prejudice, and just let them speak for themselves. All statistics are appropriate for 2015.
1. Percentage of population - white, 62%, black 13%
2. Victims of homicides - white, 732, black 381
3. Percentage of population of victims of homicides - whites, 49% of those killed, blacks, 24% of those killed
4. 90% of all homicides committed by blacks - black victims
5. 82% of all homicides committed by whites - white victims
6. In a study reported by New York Times of cities in the states of California, Texas, and Florida, blacks were 23.8% LESS likely to be shot by cops than whites.
7.The same study found that black citizens were 16% MORE likely to be arrested than whites.
8. However, the study also found that black citizens were 61% more likely to escalate the situation when confronted by police, thus forcing elevation on the force continuum.
75 most populous counties in the US
1) Blacks, 15% of population, but commit 62% of robberies, 57% of murders, and 45% of assaults
2) Whites/Hispanics, 82% of population, but commit 42% of robberies, 42% of murders, and 63% of assaults
3) Over 10% of the NATION'S homicides were committed in Chicago.
