Police, the justice system, and minorities

Responsible Black leaders are not seen in the Media telling Blacks that the reason police are in their communities is because Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery. The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic. Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks, forty five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black, Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa. Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
