These have been some stats going around as of late… but there were some unanswered issues in my mind dealing with them. First, read these stats via TruthRevolt, and then we will continue with my issues:

…O’Reilly slammed Dyson’s claim and laid out data refuting the volatile assertion: 

• Police killings of blacks down 70% in last 50 years
• In 2012, 123 blacks were killed by police with a gun
• In 2012, 326 whites were killed with a gun

(Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, CDC)

• In 2013, blacks committed 5,375 murders
• In 2013, whites committed 4,396 murders
• Whites are 63% of the population blacks are 13%

(FBI, Census Bureau)

O’Reilly took these statistics to mean that “anyone thinking clearly can see that the homicide rate among blacks is way out of proportion.” O’Reilly asserted that the disparity of homicide rates explained the “police intrusion into black precincts.”…

Take note as well that police killings of blacks are down 70% in last 50 years. A worthy statistic indeed.

Here are my questions, and they have to do with the 123 stat. That is a total, and how many of that 2012 stat is “unarmed” suspects, and who were SHOT, some were tazed. I have found 18-unarmed suspects being killed, but some of those are while being tazed ~ for instance: Raymond Luther Allen was arrested 20 times by the Galveston police and once by DPS between 1994 and 2010 on charges that included unlawfully carrying a weapon, assault, evading arrest and drug possession. He died two days after being tazed in order to be handcuffed while resisting arrest. I have been trying to find his toxicology results to no avail.

Some of these 18 in one year were killed by non-police officers~ for instance: Dante Price was shot by security guards, not police. So this answers some of my following questions:

1. How many black officers shot and killed black suspects;
2. How many of these were unarmed;
3. How many officers were killed by unarmed suspects;
4. How many of these by their own gun;
5. How many “unarmed” suspects total have been killed.

The NAACP has a list of 76 unarmed black men and women who have been killed since 1999-2014. Of which my 18-came from in the above discussion. Breitbart has this stat regarding the death of officers by unarmed suspects, and keep in mind Michael “the Gentle Giant” Brown had already wrestled for the gun in Officer Wilson’s patrol car — a shot even being fired during the felony struggle:

The recurrent expression of outrage by critics and the mainstream media about the use of deadly force by police officers against unarmed individuals fails to recognize that since 2000 at least 57 suspects have taken officers’ weapons and murdered the police officer with it.

[….]

While statistics for officers murdered with their own weapons are difficult to research, we know from the Los Angeles Police Protection League, the FBI and www.odmp.org that between 2000-10, at least 51 officers were killed by alleged perpetrators who used the officer’s own gun. Four officers were killed in 2011, one officer was killed in 2013. Moreover, so far in 2014, it has been confirmed that Johnson City (New York) Police Officer David Smith was murdered in March with his own weapon. Smith had served in the police department for over 18 years.

In Smith’s case, according to the Officers Down Memorial Page report, before he was able to exit his patrol car or radio for help, the alleged assailant was able to disarm Officer Smith and shoot him while he was still in the patrol car….

Another stat that I believed spanned the 2010-to-2012 year period is this:

• Black officers account for a little more than 10 percent of all fatal police shootings. Of those they kill, though, 78 percent were black.
• White officers, given their great numbers in so many of the country’s police departments, are well represented in all categories of police killings. White officers killed 91 percent of the whites who died at the hands of police. And they were responsible for 68 percent of the people of color killed. 

About fifty black folks are struck by lightning each year. The next question from the Left would be, “is God racist?”
