Key information:
"Who could possibly want to be a police officer in 2020?"
"There is no sense attempting to explain the statistics that flatly debunk the false narratives about “racist white cops” and the “hunt for unarmed black men.” Providing facts to those who have already made up their minds because of the amplification of the rare instances of criminal officers committing extrajudicial slayings only inflames passions and emotions."
"The FBI finally began tracking officer-involved shootings last year. Their initial findings have yet to be released. However, the Washington Post has been collecting data related to fatalities resulting from police use of deadly force since 2015. The numbers simply don’t support the "racist cop" narrative."
In 2019, for instance, police shot and killed 19 unarmed whites (out of a total of 370 killed) and nine unarmed African Americans (out of 235 killed). This means 5.1% of white people fatally shot by police were unarmed, compared to 3.8% of black people killed by police. The definition of “unarmed” also includes those who violently struggle, attack, or attempt to disarm the involved law enforcement officer.
The counterargument that will assuredly ensue is that blacks (13.4% of the population) are slain by police at a disproportionate rate. But this fails to take into account patterns of offending. All groups do not commit crime at equal rates. This is a sad but inconvenient truth. According to Bureau of Justice statistics, for example, between 1980 and 2008, black offenders committed 52% of all murders. Higher rates of criminality equate to more required police interactions. We are led to believe these racial disparities are caused by police bias — but it is actually a proportional response to the disparate conduct of groups.
But none of that matters to the anarchists and activists who are venting their violent rage at police. Nor does it matter that, as criminologist Heather Mac Donald points out for City Journal, “In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.”
