According to The Washington Post, half of the people killed by police in the US are white, but black Americans die at a disproportionately high rate.
They account for less than 13 per cent of the US population, but they are more than twice as likely to be killed by law enforcement officers. Mr Trump defended America's police departments, saying they "do an incredible job in this country" as he looks to reinforce his "law and order" agenda ahead of"You can have a rogue, terrible cop, on occasion like you do in any industry, any business, in any profession," Mr Trump told reporters at the White House.Jeffery Robinson, of the American Civil Liberties Union, described Mr Trump's comments as an example of his "racism".
Asked if the flag should be "taken down," Mr Trump defended it as a symbol than many Americans "like".
Strange
He's stoking hate and murder under his authority
He right tho
I do not think Trump is quite normal, but it would be nice to see properly handled statistics.
he said a fact, whats your point?
Wolves - Sheep & Sheepdogs - most of you are sheep
It's true Nice try ABC DefundTheABC
Fake news. You aren’t supposed to include those people killed who were *armed*... DefundTheABC
What a loads of horseshits. More Fake news again. Stop spreading rumors.
Dump the turd November 3rd
No grasp of facts or reality.
We don’t want cops to kill where people either?
a racist man saying racist things. nothing new here
Just because you don’t like actual facts, doesn’t make it incorrect 🤷♂️
Fact-check = true
He's correct.
Its true. Black on black crime is among the worst of the worst. Trump is arresting more and more MS 13 members today. GITMO is beckoning.
What are the sources for your second key point? I don't see any listed in your article.
Usury is illegal and the ABThee never reports on it. I wonder why. Also race crime stats have been reported for years. Keep up.
That’s not how you quote people you troglodyte.
He’s right again. It’s like your per capita climate change bullshit.
And he is right
FACT CHECK: 100% TRUE. now to launch smear attack vs. statistics because... because... statistics is... oppressive colonialist patriarchy with an evil he-penis!
Is this your attempt at balance, truth or news ? Practise makes perfect.
Yet again Trump is right Police encounter the same proportions of black and white suspects More white people killed than black BLM founded on a lie
That's a correct statement. What's your problem, ABC?
ABC are normally quick to do the BS fact checks. I assume here they can only acknowledge Trump is correct.
Facts terrify the ABC. Their is nothing the ABC hates more than facts that embarrass and condemn them. The irony is that if Trump had been elected as a Democrat and nothing else was different -- the ABC would not have stopped applauding everything Trump said and did.
He's right, WTF is wrong with you ABC ?
Where are the stats that show the % of crimes committed by white/black people, or the % of weapons pulled on police by white/black people.
He’s speaking the facts. Something that TheirABC can’t handle. leftards iseedumbpeople
He’s not wrong. Can’t wait for President Trumps upcoming election victory.
I wonder if the ABC could be stopped from wasting taxpayers money trying to create a negative image of D. Trump that has already a huge number of supporters in Australia. The leftist attack on Trump makes him more popular! auspol
Did you bother to look at the actual data on the subject, or did you just orange man bad?
ABC Australia shamelessly work for the American Democrats
The problem here is it's 2020 and we still have stats for black or white people! We are all the same, stop putting us into categories not needed.
Show me the receipts!
Indeed, that appears to be true.
Maybe they should look at why some many cops are killing so many ppl
ABC disputing TRUTHS again. Can their Trump hate get any bigger.😂😂.2020 TOOT TOOT.
How wild. 'Police are killing loads of Americans of every colour. They're doing a really great job.' 😆
Is it true that police kill more whites than blacks? Why weren’t we told this before the riots?
Fact check: True
DefundTheABC
The ABC is shit. DEFUNDTHEABC
Shouldnt there fact checking, or better yet dont post that fools comments
The people suffering from the same flawed logic as Trump. Basic statistic: 20 apples: 15 green 3 red 2 yellow The apples are randomly placed on a table. Blindfolded, you choose an apple and smash it. What are the odds you match the police death stats as % of population?
god bless the nut bag
Crayon face recreates narrative, a typical WH propaganda. Before it was 'marika has done more testing than any country in the world'. Now BLM. It was per capita, you dictator 💩 Are you trying to divert attention from your new policy to give more flexibility for pipeline project
You are the greatest liars in Australia a total disgrace.
Crayon face recreating narrative WH propaganda. Before was 'marika has done more testing than any country in the world'. Now his effort to discredit BLM. It was per capita, you dictator 💩
And he is right too. Let’s call White lives Matter
He really has lost it. No idea of how to read the room.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
We know that black people are killed by cops just because they are black. (Sometimes)Are cops killing white people because they are white? I doubt it. I’m all for police doing their jobs,protecting the public and themselves.
How can we be sure that this isn't another of your CNN mash-up stories like you did with Trumps unemployment numbers and mashed in a completely unrelated comment from a different story?
His white hood must be at the dry cleaners.
He is really is an idiot, the best idiot, the biggest idiot, The Idiot.
😂
Discussion of the actual statistics is utter kryptonite to the ABC/BLM worldview.
I’m confused, even if this were true, why does it make a difference? White, black or otherwise, the police should not be killing ANYONE except for THE most violent and threatening of perpetrators, and even then it should be a last resort to save lives. Cops need better training.
Hmmm....if you were a true journalistic organization you would either provide tangible evidence that proves the statement true or false. The fact is that more white people are killed by police ea year, both in raw numbers and when normalized to crime rates.
What he said is factual. Question is why do African Americans commit so much crime? I mean just look at the black on black murder rate its almost as insane as using the ABC as reliable news. A bit retarded
53% of known US Homicide offenders & ~60% robbery by African Americans. Most killers are men, so ~6% of the US pop COMMITS HALF THE MURDER. US cops are 18x more likely to be killed by African Americans than vice versa. ABC News pushes Trump derangement at the expense of truth.
Since it’s not fake you don’t believe it, it’s a verifiable FACT.
Why are police killing so many men? Are police sexist?
Yes! The police do an incredible job You've probably called them yourselves from time to time
He is right. He should have also brought up the interracial crime statistics, they’re literally insane.
Just another day ending in ‘y’ theirABC OrangeManBad
You need to use punctuation. Otherwise your headlines end up like this👇 Unless it’s deliberate?
Another example of why we should defundtheabc
Hmmm so my take on this is that he approves people being killed by police.
Leftist lies matter, x9.
'Black Americans are killed at twice the rate, despite being only 13 per cent of the population' Fact more Whites get killed than blacks. Females makeup a larger % of the population. Yet over 90% of those shot are males. This then makes cops Misandrists going by ABC's logic.
Truth! Twice as much.
The comments in anything to do with trump always reminds me of a big turd, and alllllll the flies. Oh this turd is delicious! This turd is the greatest turd there's ever been! Haters just don't like facts, fact is this turd is amazing!
despite being 13% of the population blacks commit 52.5% of all murders
He gets a free pass because raw numbers are true, but he still fails in many levels to understand those figures. How he became a millionaire or billionaire and maintains it. I really don’t know.
Trumps lack of context and use of raw numbers is consistent with how his critics draft their response
Who even listens to him anymore
What an incredible job of killing people ? Aren’t they supposed to protect people ?
It’s 100% true! Fact-check that 👍
It’s true though isn’t it?
Well, he's not wrong.
This is true. More whites ARE killed by police. And 99% of law enforcement do an amazing job.
Statistically speaking he is right
He’s absolutely right when you control for crime rate, which is all that matters since people who virtually never encounter cops will have virtually no chance at getting shot by them, but when you commit more crime, more police encounters are inevitable, thus leading to shootings
Are you insinuating that they do a bad job “news outlet?” And the first part is absolutely true.
People point to 'per capita', but it is the same number of police for all citizens. If certain groups commit more crime per capita, it stands to reason that their numbers will be higher.
Such a misleading fucking headline. Absolutely disgusting how divisive our media is.
Which is, shock horror, true!! Just doesn’t fit your racism angle, does it?
Is it a competition?
Good on him ... I'm glad he doesn't play into the BLM racist movement... I still don't trust him... But on this subject he is right
And he would be correct!!!!
I wasn't aware it was a competition!
Statistics are racist.
Um, is he point scoring? Im more concerned with the fact that police are killing people yet it’s supposed to mean something that more white people are being killed than black?
He is correct 🇺🇸
More out of context crap from the abc. It’s not what he says it’s how it’s reported what he said.
Factually correct what is the issue
It's interesting that the leftists commenting here cannot deal with this honestly. Instead of conceding the point, they attack his character, or focus on his physical appearance. Leftism is about emotion, not reason.
Black homicide rate is 196 per million, police kill 6.6 per million blacks. White homicide rate of 33 per million, police kill 3 per million whites. Meaning while blacks kill 493% MORE people than whites, they are killed by police only 120% more often.
Lol, read through this thread to find out how many of the self proclaimed educated ABC viewers are so wrong. Trump the man they hate is absolutely correct. Very funny.
Yes, and?
When is someone going to certify this madman
In raw numbers, he is correct. More cops get shot also btw
Deceptive
It's as true as saying black people are killed at a higher rate or that more white people are killed at a higher rate based on number of encounters with the police.
What a boil on the butt of humanity....
The ABC won't fact check this because they know he is right.
Probably because it's true...
Says it all about this guy. Ignorance is blessed.
So, there should actually be 'White Lives Matter' protests. The BLM movement is a lie. Thank you ABC for pointing that out, but we still need to defund you. DefundTheABC
How good is Trump derangement, the bile that pours out of people in comment sections, please let it never end.
A lot of statistically illiterate people in these parts. Were this a competent news source, the comments wouldn't be so ill informed. The problem here is a sampling error. Explain that.
What a terrible headline. Ambiguous to the facts. Trump incorrectly says ...
That statement is true
He is correct.
What about orange people?
Yes, keep up the good work!
Shut up Trump you orange fiend
Reason, evidence and facts have been jettisoned by Captain Crazy and his enablers. Does anyone believe any statistics put out by any govt department run by his cronies?
Incredible job killing poor white people? Lucky them.
This is factual. We just don't hear about it because media never reports on it and because white people don't use other white people's death to gain victim privilege.
Ratios Donald... RATIOS
defundtheabc
And he would be correct.
that doesn't sound like an incredible job!
Correct
“Orange man bad!”🤣
And... it’s true
It's a statement of fact, more white people ARE killed by the police. Fact check his statement please
Yes, and per encounters with police, because not everyone has encounters with police, white men are 25% more likely to be killed by cops. Candace Ownens pointed it out a month ago.
Where's the lie?
I know this is crazy to hear but reform can actually happen that benefits all races because believe it or not all races are affected by our current police state.
Instructive how the media aren’t running around with fact checks. The President is right and they know he’s right.
Talk to Wapo. They just reported the same.
And the President is totally correct! That is an absolute fact! Even fake news, such as ABC News cannot soon this to suit their left wing agenda! President Trump will be rightfully re-elected in a mammoth landslide victory in November! The silent majority know fake from fiction!
Doctors killed more than police killed Why people don't demand to reform medical system?
And he's factually correct. If you get your facts from Snopes like you do you deserve to be wrong.
Of coarse that’s true in total numbers, ABC should know that Just that Black represents smaller part of the population
Bumbling idiot.
He may be incorrect at that, but it's not your smoking gun when you consider that not all cops are white, thus the killings by police, whilst in greater numbers towards blacks still can't be shown to be racially motivated Sorry I have to do your analysis for you
That is literally a factually correct statement. If you are trying to provoke mob hatred you need to do better. fakenews auspol
The President is correct.
Possibly true, except that the white people are killed by white people.
They sure are, US police are 'equal opportunity' killers.
Why do you tools listen to this fk wit Has of today the USA has 60,000 new covid-19 cases you would like to think he is concerned about this. I guess not🤷♂️
How can they be doing an incredible job if they’re killing so many white people sir
What a great claim for any present to make.🙈
The genius isn't good with numbers. He cannot grasp the concept of population percentages. Frankly, anybody who thinks his logic is sound, should be ashamed of themselves.
Don't insinuate. Do a fact check..
我去，他是怎样当上总统的?
Lol, incredible job of killing people?
Yes, bc the population of US that white is 79.89%, black is 12.85, Asian only is 4.43%, Indians is 0.9%.
You just can't make this shit up
And he’s correct.
Digits plzzzz
Correct
If they don't produce a vaccine in 12 months Trump won't have any followers at all - black or white. If he stays in office the US is toast in my humble opinion. The guy is just senile.
what his wrong ?
He is cuckoo
Why are people getting upset by him stating a fact?
How about orange people? If so, they missed TrumpTraitor ...
Whites are the only racial group systematically discriminated against in the nations that their descendants built up as well as constantly berated, talked down to and mocked in pop culture. No other racial group is dumb enough or brainwashed enough to tolerate it.
No lies detected
If you take it on a 1 to 1 ratio, a white person is 18% more likely to be killed by a Police Officer than a black person. A Police Officer is 10x more likely to get shot by a black person than a black person by a Police Officer. ...tired of your fake bs.
Yep, that makes sense.
And he is proud of what exactly? What makes it ok for cops to be killing people of anything Thought modern world should have moved on
Why would he even think to say that?
Man some people are dumb. Where on earth is there an expectation that every race, gender, sexual preference will be evenly distributed? It’s just not a thing. We don’t expect equal amounts of crime between men and women. Not a thing. Why is such a leap to apply that to others?
TurekAndrew Mind your own government you clowns.
He is stating a fact. The realities that when blacks are killed it makes greater media publicity and so that it is why it is put out there for public consumption. It feeds peoples fears and gives them the impression that 'whites' are out to get them. The old divide and conquer.
As trump says though, it all depends on which “per capita” you use. 🤣
With more than 130,000 dead in his country, what was the purpose for these comments? COVID19
60% to 13-14% pop sounds legit to me, so why does ABC frame this like he saying something wrong ?
Why do the police kill anybody?
He’s right though. And even if you do the adjustment for population, most murders are committed by black men against black men. Another fact that the woke left doesn’t like
How about making it so fewer people are killed by cops. Is police brutality really part of their job description? Or are they just out of control? They seem unnecessarily quick to brutalize and kill than they should be. That's not their job. Judge, jury and executioners?
It's time for the 25th Amendment for certain. Trump is nuts.
I don't know what people expect from Trump; all he does is appeal to his base and he'll say whatever he has to to appease them, and most of the time it's just diatribe.
Correct. Twice as many white as blacks are killed by police in the US
Incredible job killing people, in proportion to their frequency, in USA, gets Trump's big tick.
The left hates facts.
Yep, only because it's true.
Per capita?
Does this chump have any grasp of, well, anything? Like, I don’t know, per capita stats?
Yup. That’s all factual. So....
So he's for the police killing the people?
And he's correct.
Sounds like they’re killing lots of people then. Great job guys!
Like with COVID-19, stop taking statistics and boom! The cops no longer kill anyone. You’re welcome Donald... presidentdouche BLM
And it is a fact!
How can this idiot be the president?
I remember when per capita was a racist dog whistle now LEFTYS KNOW ALL ABOUT IT
He didn’t incorrectly suggest anything. Roughly 6% of the population (6% male/7% female) are responsible for a disproportionate amount of violent crimes committed. Number of interactions with police is an important factor.
Inconveniently true
Trump clearly paid the wrong person to take his maths exams. Skipped the sections on percentages. Ask for your money back Donald.
Im guessing the idiot forgot to check the ratio population percentages.
How many innocent white people to how many innocent black
So if 73% of police officers are white should we inject 'white on white' crime into the conversation?
A statement that is categorically true, how is this news ?
Except.
And they’re doing “an incredible job” of killing people?
that still makes him a racist.
If that were true I wonder how many are unarmed and not offering any resistance
Why are your police killing people?
Spot on..
Well it’s true
The main thing wrong with that sentence, is cops shouldn’t kill anyone.
All the people quoting the per capita rate of deaths, please continue to crimes committed per capita 🤣
Seriously flawed data.
The stable genius basking in his glory.
Fact
That’s true 100%
Drunkard.
Interesting responses from lefties who, irrespective of facts just have to have the narrative of systemic racism and oppression in a grand scale in their miserable lives. The public education system has really done a number on these losers. 😂
His hair has turned white too!
My head hurts when he talks 🤡
He Might be correct.
Time for a lesson in absolute numbers versus relative numbers...
How about the cops kill no one
He says he’s an expert or a genius at a lot of things and yet he does not listen to statistics. RecklessTrump
Is it metaphorical that his eyes are closed?
No US president has been able to make any changes to stop racism some did not even try. Not even a black president in office for 8 years was able to make changes why do people think Trump could make a difference?🤔
Now I've got a fairly responsible job, but not nearly to the extent of being the POTUS. if I started dribbling shyte like he does I don't think I'd have the job for much longer
It’s true but white population is 5-6x the black population so if he’s trying to imply you’re more likely to get shot if you’re white then what he said is misleading
Trump says a lot of things. 🙄 Senile old men tend to ramble.
He's right, and the numbers of deaths per interaction is higher for white people than black people. The problem is black people are stopped for no reason far more often than white people. However this in confounded by the fact that black people commit murder at a far higher rate.
I don’t think it’s possible to add up the number of lies now. What a charlatan.
True
I wanna smoke or drink what Trump does
What a dishonest lie. Get a grip of your Trump derangement syndrome. TheirABC RitaPanahi
Yes. It's actually about twice as many white people as blacks are killed by police in the US.
Imagine the reaction if realDonaldTrump was black and an African head of state 🤒
The fatality rate is 2.8 times higher among blacks than whites.
Donald Trump stated a simple verifyable fact. Why is this a headline?
