President Trump attends an event about law enforcement on Monday at the White House. Trump has repeatedly downplayed the disproportionate impact of police violence on African Americans.President Trump attends an event about law enforcement on Monday at the White House. Trump has repeatedly downplayed the disproportionate impact of police violence on African Americans.
"So are white people!" Trump said when asked in an interview with CBS News about why so many African Americans have been killed at the hands of police."So are white people! What a terrible question to ask."More white people may be killed by police annually, but Black Americans are killed at a far higher rate., 1,301 Black people have been killed by the police in the past five and a half years; 2,495 white people were killed.
But, importantly, African Americans, who make up a far smaller portion of the total population than whites, are killed at aIn another comment also sure to inflame racial tension, Trump said that"people love" the Confederate battle flag and that he considers it a"freedom of speech" issue. He called it"very simple" and dismissed the idea that the flag is hurtful to Black Americans and others who see it as a racist symbol.
"Well, people love it, and I know people that like the Confederate flag, and they're not thinking about slavery," Trump said when asked whether he understood the pain it caused people because of its association with slavery.
Now do unarmed men. What are the statistics then?
White, black, Latin.......POLICE ARE KILLING PEOPLE...YDF
Why are we supposed to accept that the police are killing -any- people?
Advice from my youth: nothing good happens after midnight.
Trump and Stone: It’s only fun if it’s not real. Deceit rules. Impossible for Trump to play it straight, keep us well, work hard, and win honestly. He wouldn’t have to work that hard—he could turn it over to Fauci, pandemic czar, while taking credit. But...to control he must lie.
NIHAustin Yeah, it’s not even close. And this doesn’t include all the harassment and false arrests.
There we go with this % thing again. Can someone please take a moment and get a 3rd-grade tutor so this Wharton grad can do some basic math.
The unspoken assumption is that 100% of cops are white, therefore proving some level of racial bias and ultimately, the medias favovite strawman = white supremacy. Thats a tortured path of illogical assumtio s leading to an incorrect conclusion LameStreamMedia
Where’s that Data?
It’s not ok to kill anyone of any race, BLM has killed many people and assaulted many,specially during RIOTS, but not one Democrat is speaking out against it , (because they want it that way)they like terrorism against the citizens of the USA.
Black people commit over 50% of all violent crime, so you would expect a far higher rate of deaths at the hand of police.
Maybe the POTUS would not have to go around correcting the media if the media did a better job? Present all the facts and relevant statistics without spin,or a obvious attempt to support preconceived narrative He lays out these facts because LameStreamMedia will not. Do better
I have racial resentment burnout.
Maybe cops should stop killing?
So, he was right.
You’ve already lost the Trump people. They don’t understand the concept of disproportionality.
white man beaten to death begging for his father to forgive him, white man shot dead while hiding under his truck and having mental health issues, white man shot to death from behind no national outrage. its perfectly fine for cops to kill whites, they are free targets
This meme says so much without the marxist backdrop, thank u atheist.
So we’ve established then that the police kill people at high rates in this country. Full stop. This IS the muhfuckin’ problem.
Black Americans commit a higher percentage of violent crime than do Whites.
He didn’t take his SAT so we can’t be sure he can do that type of math. Plus, he is insensitive.
Top bad Joe Biden won't handle this issue. His track record proves it to me. We need a real candidate! This nation will be even sicker another four years from now, and I don't see a caliber of leader anywhere that can stand up and fix this
So does that make it better?
It’s his inability to understand per capita rates that makes him say things like this, and ramble on about tests and cases. That and being racist.
That is hardly a good excuse to allow police to murder people.
There's this thing called controlling for outliers when you do studies. When you do this (control for crime rates), he's not wrong. Like if you were to ask if boys or girls get more pollen on their nose from smelling flowers, but ignoring the fact that fewer boys smell flowers.
Oh so trump lied again? (We know) Why y'all even report anything he says (lies) is beyond me
Trump looks like a defeated man. His heart is not in it. He looks pathetic. Why doesn't he just drop out?
NPR with the word salad.
The President doesn’t understand statistics... and a whole lot of other things. But specifically here his elementary understanding of mathematics is the issue. Oh, and basic human compassion.
'far higher'? No. The probability of a black person being killed by a cop in US is 0.000005. 2000x less than being lied in a car accident. 15m arrests/yr Less than 1000 fatal encounters 235 black people Less than 15 'unarmed'. It's a lie, kids.
Compared to other Race communities. Are there more; shootings, poverty, aborted children, rapes, spousal abuse unemployment, fatherless/parentless children,diseases, less educated/skilled, overal violence, if answer to most is yes,Is it all Gov’t fault?
US leads its European peers in police murders per 10 million residents by FAR. Why?
Also , it’s bad when the cops Kill white people tok
Yea because he’s a racist
tRUMPY STUMBLY MUMBLY.
Whataboutism, the article
Because the data is there. More White people are killed by police than Black, Yellow, Blue or Green.
Soooo....is realDonaldTrump actually admitting police are killing us all? TrumpRacist
Oh so NOW you're interested in context. 😂😂😂😂
, you know it’s all a lie, yet you still push it.
Uhh
The old, “I know you are, but what am I?” response.
Is 'killed annually' not also a 'rate'? How exactly is the rate different, I didn't see the article reference any data
Also: in what world is it okay to kill someone as anything but a life-saving last resort, as long as they’re part of the “right” group (however you decide to define that)?
Don't distract them with this advanced math!
🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽
👿
Because that is true
OrangeBrainDead traitor
He’s crazy
The question was absurd. Police are not 'killing so many black people.' The media pushes a false and dangerous narrative. Why didn't the reporter ask why the police shot the Michael Brown when his hands were up saying 'don't shoot?' Another lie.
If he’d said “Yes, per capita blacks are killed more often by police, but that’s due to higher rates of violently resisting arrest and violent crime,” how would that have gone over?
Your logic about the 'far greater rate' is just like saying that many people get into accidents but those who are uninsured are disproportionally, unfairly punished after the accident. And why is it that you capitalize Black Americans but not white people? Bias on display?
The police meet deadly force with deadly force and the media are constantly misrepresenting the details as 'white supremacist cop.' The facts are, every police killing is treated and investigated as a homicide.
I'm curious about all the statistics involved now, can anyone shine a light on this?
We know, all know, only the most ignorant draw near him and feed on his hatred and cruelty
Trump has done police reform. Did Biden? Congress? More divisiveness by NPR.
For the sake of promoting the BLM Marist movement, I should not bring this up, but I will. This trap of a culture of gun violence in black youth went unaddressed from 2008 to 2016. Trump is an opportunist. He has an opportunity.
He doesn’t do percentages. OH and he’s a racist facist.
Not something you need to tell us.... 🙄we know “ don’t believe” him w ANYTHING he says
Did you just libra scale the wordplay or what
May I rephrase the stupidity of this statement/ so more white people are killed overall but blacks at a faster rate? Lol lmao. can't wait to see the graph
Higher rate vs annually what is your malfunction
They also have higher crime rate.
Most decent people don’t publicly state that they know racists.
Trump needs to be drug tested
General poulation shoul not be the basis. Blacks commit more violent crimes. The percent of blacks killed as related to violent crimes committed vs whites killed related to violent crimes would be better or an even more detailed such as who had guns.
so the President is also ok with police killing white people? 🤔
Why y'all release this at 2am?
If you all want to see death. By all means cancel the police. The deaths wont be mr. Floyd. They will be innocents killed in drive by shooting or some other crime. Look at the numbers in Chicago. None of you could do their job. Yet you bash them without remorse.
True colors are showing
In the same interview, he said that flying the Confederate flag is a freedom of speech issue. Well, duh. No one is saying they aren't allowed to be racist assholes. But we're allowed to criticize them in return, as that is also protected by the 1st Amendment.
...black people are killed at a far higher rate, BUT NOT BY POLICE! might want to stop omitting facts to push a false and damaging narrative! I thought the 'P' stood for public, not propaganda! Get your shit together!
There are way more Whites than Blacks in America. Of course Whites will be overrepresented in the raw totality.
He is part of the problem.
'at a far higher rate' - NPR, we're talking about the blacks, do you really want to bring up the concept of per capita? Because per capita, they commit a lot more crime and have a lot more contact with the police
Data shows massive double digit thousands of Blacks killed by abortions (Planned Parent Hood), 2,500 Black on Black murders, and only 9 Blacks unarmed, killed by police. Charges was brought on.
And isn't there like double the amount of white people in America? IJS
NPR messed up with this article. The obvious counter to this would be to point out crime statistics regarding who commits the most violent crimes. Should have let this hand go. Got to know when to hold them and when to fold them.
He has no frame of reference on the matter. He is a straight out Whitem Supremacist!
Can't even trust NPR these days. They try to say blacks are killed at a higher rate because they make up a smaller portion of the population, however completely forgot to include that the far greater percentage of homicides and violent crimes come from the black community.
He should’ve said, “because the crime rate is higher among blacks.”
What about red head ?
Yes, and Black Trans Lives Matter
He doesn’t know what rate means.
No more killing, no more violence, no more trump.
Which shows that npr is committed to perpetuating racism by distorting & convoluting facts & statistics to portray racist law enforcement where there is none.
The white people are doing the most criming.
DefundNPR
Ffs VoteHimOut
Don't mean at a higher rate per capita?
I don’t mean to be pedantic. But the sentence structure could be misleading. It implies his response to “why police have killed so many Black people” is that white people are also doing it as well. May be just me.
Y’all know what data actually is...right?
Look at his face. He hate his job. 😂😂😂😂
Because the police kill working class people, and black people in the US are about as prol as it gets. Overall though the function of the police is to suppress the working class for the bourgeoisie.
The war on drugs was just a camouflaged war on the poor & disenfranchised. When the courts are stacked with mostly one race, you don't get sympathy cause you don't look like their grandkid.
Let’s see the data. I have a dataset too.
Look at that face that’s pure evil and hate .He is what the Antichrist must be model like.Pure evil
He's a white supremacist Nazi.
I think that’s too many White People as well Why are so many people dying every year at the hands of our Police?
not per capita based on arrests
قَيِّمًا لِّيُنذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِّن لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا - 18:2
More importantly, 'the police kill other people too' maybe isnt exactly an awesome defense
Just vote him out in November. Just do it.
Trump was just trying to say don't blame the police; there are plenty more white people who are not police killing black folks.. - Trump dissed Q abt police killing so many blacks: 'So are white people!' Epi data shows much higher rate of blacks killed..
Please don’t confuse the stable genius who couldn’t take an SAT test with basic math understanding. That would hurt his little feelings. TrumpIsUnwell Biden2020Landslide TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpIsLosing VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
Y'all.... he just doesn't care. His base supports this. There is no longer a dialogue.
No lie is ever too big or too small for this village idiot.
Even if his response was reasonable--- you would expect a follow up, about police reform, so so many people of all colors were not being killed, by those sworn to protect!
And hi, why are we ok with the police killing anyone that often?!?!?!?!
Has anyone seen the Fox News online comment sections Holy crap so much conspiracy and no one calling them out or posting truths. Wow
He's certainly entitled to his opinion, but when a population of your people are being killed and asking for reform, you don't dismiss them. The very least he could do is be a leader and say that he is working on it, even if he's lying. We know who he's trying to appeal to.
I’m sure if you’re truly interested in data, murders regardless of race or cause will be higher in high crime inner cities. Not everything is about race- even if you need it to be as it fits your liberal narrative.
This is a FACTUAL STATEMENT now do your OWN RESEARCH under FOIA & do NOT COUNTER that the black folk make up only 13% of pop. This WHAT YOU DO THEN drop the WHITE POP TO 13% & GUESS WHAT white ppl are killed more police = FACT FBI DOJPH realDonaldTrump ToddPiro CNN MSNBC
'White people are being killed by police too' is always the rebuttal, but when you ask them 'and why are you okay with that?', there's never an answer.
July Fourth Weekend was a bloodbath in US cities: Chicago—80 Americans shot, 17 killed New York City—64 Americans shot, 10 killed Philadelphia—31 Americans shot, 7 killed Atlanta—28 Americans shot, 4 killed What do they all have in common? They're all run by Democrat Mayors.
and, even if we could stomach the provided rationale, wouldn't we want fewer police-involved killings overall?
If you are going to talk about rates, then talk about crime rates arrest rates and contact rates.
Black Americans are at the crime seance at a far higher rate.
Why does the data matter? Even if Black Americans were killed by police at the same rate, HOW IS THAT OK? Police should not be killing so many people. Even for actual criminals, they are not judge, jury, executioners.
Conservatives approaching the point danielshaver
Real baby brain shit
Bush leaugue analysis by Run a pro America story for a change. shills.
Even taking his statement at face value it's not the 'win' he thinks it is.
So it’s agreed. The police are killing people.
He has but one goal
In Trump's defense, he's a human trashcan.
Wdid y both
☠If America was really a white supremacist country NO white people would be killed by cops. ☠Half of all murders are by blacks, on blacks.
From what I heard when he went to school he was so stupid he couldn’t even take his SATs he had to pay somebody else to take it for him, And this is What America has as a president, A man so Stupid he couldn’t take a simple test.
For statistics to work, you compare apples to apples. Y'all need to learn your statistics........
alllocalpolitic Trump - 'police kill lots of people' Not a great point.
Not on Trump's American they are not, in fact not enough are been killed, remember the 'don't be too nice' in a speech to police men and women
Not on Trump's American they are not, in fact not enough are been killed, remember the 'don't be too nice' at a police speech
One person killed by police is too many.
Kill the white people that’s the song
jenbyrdsong This is the crap my family and friends believe
that is a FACT and NPR IS
BettyBuckley Stats please you idiot. Oh wait he doesn’t know. Just wasting air
Um, nobody is mentioning the disproportionate amount of crimes committed by this subgroup, resulting in more interactions with police, resulting in more deaths. I know that’s essentially verboten to mention, but facts are stubborn things.
RacistInChief racist
Why are you twisting his words?
What is the percentage of felonious crime by Black Americans vs their percentage of the population? Isn’t that worth noting in any comparison? Not to single them out, for crime is crime and shouldn’t have a color.
Keep showing the data, how much crime is committed with guns by those you're talking about?
More black people died in Chicago LAST WEEKEND from street violence against them than the total of unarmed black people - not necessarily non-violent- than those who were killed by police action during the ENTIRE YEAR! Where is the outcry, ever, about this terrible fact?
Ah. So.... no lives matter then?
Pres Trump seems to be struggling with per capita when it comes to covid and anything involving non-whites
Unfortunately, your tweet is far to complex for the average trump supporter. maths percentages
Perfect Photo of a unstable President. Let us not forget who has the launch button.... scary!!
Let’s keep it simple so he can understand this, it is because he is stupid and racist. Simple as that....
🙄
Four years into his ill gotten presidency realDonaldTrump keeps saying racist stuff and we’re to be surprised? Cool, cool cool.
Nope...you’re wrong NPR
That guy really seems to have no problem with people being killed.
He knows nothing
More stupid, from Stupid, as expected.
It is his way of suggesting that cops need to kill more black people. It I s another confirmation of how much he hates minorities.
No surprise this guy gets everything wrong, we continue with his incompetence.
He is out of touch! Clueless!
_jchamberlain
What he said was technically correct. Pure numbers & not rates. If ur talking rates, then blacks also commit more crimes given they are smaller %
senategop housegop foxnews gop IngrahamAngle cnn TuckerCarlson Mr. trump is 100% correct and has guts to say it. No one else has guts. All sane people should be loudly saying to the media that white & black people and also police are killed in law enforcement situations
Even if his canard were true per capita why would this be an acceptable bragging point for any president? Listening to this POTUS one feel as if you’re watching a person in a lunatics asylum.
Sadly, it is not shocking to see President a Trump once again does not know the facts. We must vote him out of office in November
Ummmm, we don’t want police killing whites people either.
He did not lie. Numerically, more white people than black people ARE killed by law enforcement.
Stephanie_Goose Pretty much even.
Time for journalists to get savvy about white separatist/supremacist talking points. You're about to hear a lot of them.
So he lied!? Shocking
Numbers, research, data... where will it all end? C’mon npr, let’s just stick with the facts, okay, and not some gobbledygook made up by a ‘statistician’, or ‘social scientist’, or ‘epidemiologist’, or some other made-up, highly trained profession.
You’re surprised he got his facts wrong?
His utterly dismissive attitude as though this isn’t a real thing is so completely obtuse. Come on November!
Wait till you see the crime rates organized by race! 🙂
Trump doesn’t care about pesky things called facts. He disdains all level of authority.
Rate and absolute number are different statements. He’s correct. The rate, however, has different factors that you really, really don’t want to bring up. BTW, any suspects in the murder of the one year old yet?
He’s right, more are killed. The data flat out says by volume there are more. You don’t like the narrative, say that. The cold hard numbers are that more whites are killed by cops than blacks. Proportion is not what he was talking about.
realDonaldTrump is a RACIST
Dr Impeach Trump you mean in Russia ‘more white people’ are killed by police than Black people’ Right?! 😷 you get a basket 🧺 -Geez!
WHY ARE THEY KILLING PEOPLE AT ALL?
Saying 'more white ppl are killed by cops' still implies we have a Bad Cop problem & the fact that cops have more interactions with black ppl implies we have a Racist Cop problem imho..cannot just look at killings you must factor in harassment/escalation incidents
He definitely lives in another universe.
There you go...let the data speak!
Crime rate of blacks is higher.
It seems like he is trying to instigate violence. It seems like he is unfit to serve us. That man should not have weapons at his disposal.
What he said is true.
So in other words, what he said was exactly right. Nice spin, though.
So he is right then?
per capita? Do you really want to go there, NPR? Africans commit far more crimes per capita and have far more violent contact with police per capita. We should not have to live this way.
Unbelievable. I have no words. 🙄
No, the quantifiable equation is how many encounters black people have with law enforcement. If 13% of people account for 80% of the police encounters that is how the math is done. Which is the correct number.
But, he wasn’t talking percentages. He was talking raw numerals. So he was right, AND YOU ARE WRONG.
Looks like trump isn’t getting the black vote
All the data they know whenever it’s convenient no matter how inaccurate
What % of violent crime per capita is committed by blacks and what % of suspects per capita resist arrest with violence
Please be sure to vote in November.
Voting for Trump cannot be merely a political preference, you gotta be a sick individual fr
“More” means a higher number. Did he say “at a higher rate?” I don’t agree with his rhetoric, but if he is quoting a statistic that said a higher number, then he would be correct.
100% racist POTUS and Chief bully.
Maybe Trump was talking about his low sperm count? 🤔
He never knows the facts
But his statement is correct. More whites are killed than blacks.
Lol
I can’t even watch his addresses. He provided no evidence and just rambles about all the “good stuff” he’s done” and how bad Joe is. I know 1st graders with broader vocabularies!
FU npr
I will make up whatever I want.
This is what happens when you put a failed reality star in the White House.
Someone please try to explain it to him at his level.
The man has never used accurate data to propagate his agenda. More often than not, the data rests contrarian to his message.
Factor in violent crimes, and white people are killed twice as much as black people.
ohioaj
I take issue with his proposition that it’s ok for police to kill white people.
NPR lying. Trump is factually correct. Why would NPR lie by twisting the subject to a proportion rather than the numbers? Because NPR is an enemy of the truth. NPR is therefore an enemy of the American people.
Curious the comparison when taking into account armed vs. unarmed.
😠😠😠😠😠😠
President Trump is correct, and NPR is publicly funded Democrat Party press office. Defund it.
realDonaldTrump trump hasn't a clue & doesn't care to.
What do you expect from a Traitor and a white supremacist.
Also... isn't it BAD that the police are killing that many people? Like... how are people okay with this?
He doesn’t understand percentages.
Yeah but math isn't Trump's thing. Or science...or English...or history... Let's just say he's stupid and leave it at that.
How about the fact that the African Americans are killing one another, including children, at a much greater frequency...try focusing on that!! DeffundPublicRadio
So technically he’s correct. Jesus, NPR is fucking pathetic.
He’s not a math guy. He’s an idiot.
That smaller population commits 40% of the violent crime.
He’s tttthhhhiiissss close to coming out wearing a white hood.
Depends on which stat line you put more weight in
Remember, he PURCHASED his degree. He has no clue how to decipher statistical data.
While in New York —
According to the Gaurdian, 1093 people were shot by police in 2016, 574 White, 266 Black. Please stop 'fact-checking' Trump's facts, it is making me apoplectic.
It reallly is not his problem how things are out of control here in NYC. We had 400 shootings and 75 murders since Memorial Day. Just sickening. Our mayor does not seem to care. Same with Covid, he told us to go out and take virus not serious March 20.
it's funny how leftists are so unable to accept that corporate news outlets have been lying to them. no matter how much data and concrete facts they're shown, they can't except it.
Don’t worry this 🤡 doesn’t care about data or facts! He doesn’t even understand the questions?
Can't read and isn't good at math and you know he is lying when his lips are moving NOT what you want in a President!
Weird, it's almost as if certain parts of the population commit more crime, therefore interact with the police more often resulting in violent altercations. Who woulda thunk it?
mebennui For the 1/100th time, Trump doesn’t understand rates.
Finally this fact is addressed by a major outlet. And of course it’s NPR. Thank you.
What?!? He said: MORE WHITE PEOPLE DIE AT HANDS OF POLICE THAN BLACK PEOPLE.. THATS TRUE!!! Nobody is talking about rate. He never said anything about rate. He said AMOUNT!! How is that a LIE! Holy sh***t, you guys go to the extreme to distort anything Trump says, dont you?
Also check the crime stats on who commits more crime.
wait - you're asking him to grasp fractions?
The statistic used by NPR is a basic fallacy, used because it’s false but supports the narrative. The rate is not calculated on population. The rate is calculated against the number of responses. (911 calls). The entire population does not have annual contact with police
DJT on death It's ok if the percentage against the whole population is acceptable.
He had someone take his SATs. Enough said.
Nice data skew. How about addressing what he said. More Whites are killed by officers than Blacks. Even when factoring in % of pop. More Blacks are killed but the VAST majority of them are killed BY BLACKS.
No critical thinking skills, he can’t tell fact from fiction and doesn’t care.
Hey NPR you use taxpayer money to operate. Shouldnt your reportes allow the public who is paying some of their salaries to respond to biased reporting
Oh good, let’s spend a week arguing about math
And they commit violent crime at more than twice the rate. So no surprise there.
I am so speechless to hear this 💬
So he’s not wrong then? He accurately stated more whites are killed by police. If you want to show the disporportions maybe acknowledge the disproportion of violent Black Crime, compared to whites?
It's also not okay to extrajudicial killing of white people by the police.
This is another’fine people on both sides’ vagueish argument 🙄
Here is some stats you can use... maybe it's time for NPR to lose millions of dollars in federal funds for promoting only the leftist agenda
Killed by whom.?
Of course, the White Supremist in Chief
How did we get such an ignorant president? Oh yeah. The electoral college.
knighton_t Mary Trump has it right. He's Soul-less.
I don't understand who's feeding our president this data: 'more white people are killed by police'! This is the proof that rich people (1%+) are so disconnected from poor people (99%)! Mr. President realDonaldTrump: Really poor management! NeverBiden who's no better!
Facts. Numbers. A Cultist cares nothing for these things. Moar truthiness! More News Infotainment that lets them get excited about hating people!
Wow. TrumpLiesAmericansDie ? What a surprise!
realDonaldTrump ideally there would be very few killings by police. It sounds like you think Police should kill more
At what point do we not even acknowledge the stupidity and just move on?
He is losing it and getting closer and closer to actually uttering a racial epithet on camera
'1,301 Black people have been killed by the police in the past five and a half years; 2,495 white people were killed. But, importantly, African Americans, who make up a far smaller portion of the total population than whites, are killed at a rate more than twice that of whites.'
One must always ask, “how can one work the numbers in order to fit the narrative?”
gut this fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump with CrimesAgainstHumanity
Cannot believe a word he says.
So you’re saying he lied?!?
Trump is a joke and a terrible president. VOTE HIM OUT!! TrumpHasNoCredibility AnyoneButTrump2020 JoeBidenForPresident2020
But I'm sure he saw a meme to back up that statement so it must be true
Don’t confuse realDonaldTrump with words like “data” or “rate” or assume he knows why “percentages” are a better indicator, it’ll just confuse him - his degree is from Trump University after all.
That’s just some extremely dumb shit to say Donnie. Even for you
Seriously where are you getting your stats!?
Math isn’t not his strong point. Neither is compassion. Or empathy. Or giving a shit about anything except money & himself so....yeah
Says the guy who insinuated that an elderly white man faked being attacked by the police in Buffalo. Police brutality against anyone is a problem.
It's crazy how they use stats to justify opening the economy for COVID-19, but use hard numbers to justify why police should still be allowed to murder minority citizens.
You mean it's possible he doesn't know how math works?
But not by whites.
Are you saying he lied? If I had pearls I'd clutch them.
African Americans = 13% of US population and commit 50%+ of all murders. Law enforcement isn't structurally racist, it is proportionate to violent crime in society.
Trump knows nothing.
It’s disappointing to see NPR started to take sides as well. I thought NPR is funded by the public and could at least try to be neutral.
Stop expecting Trump to know anything! He doesn’t and he also lies!
Does that make it ok? Should police be killing anyone?
Stop trying to find an eloquent way to say he's a lying racist. Just say he's a lying racist.
Harold_Camping I think RealCandaceO addresses this in her infamous video about George Floyd
This debate has been going on for decades and you STILL don’t acknowledge anywhere in your article the obvious counterpoint that black people commit half of all murders despite only being 10% of the population. Don’t you think that’d have some impact on overall death rates?
Well, we should diligently improve in sector of racial diversity...
Sad. We are dealing with a madman. Presidential history will be soiled.
What kind of president undermines a percentage of a population by dismissing what they consider oppression? White ppl in general in the U.S. don't have to worry about profiling, much less being shot and killed by police simply for their skin color.
He literally knows nothing
He says what he wants to say and cannot back it up with facts.
As usual trump has no clue what he’s talking about.
Imagine thinking all random thoughts and ideas that pop into you're head are automatically fact, even though you have no actual data backing them... Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
Tell him how you feel in Trump's latest survey Pres Trump Survey here:
Never let facts get in the way
Worst president, ever.
Now add filters for similar behaviors. Oh but you would need to be interested in valid analysis for that...
Not to mention, he’s okay with people dying at the hands of LEO. WTF?
Don't put words in his mouth, I heard him myself. He acknowledged that it's a risk we ALL face.
He spoke the truth.
Tough job to be president not many can take the criticism, it a weight on the shoulder of a human being. The world watching and everyone has an opinion..but they don't know the dangerous other countries secret threats against humanity in America
From listening to him the last 4 years it's clear he doesn't understand percentages, ratios, fractions, or what per capita means. No wonder he went broke running a casino.
Its simple...in numbers more whites are killed...in % more blacks are.
Right. Just say whatever fits your narrative...
So he is saying he thinks it is ok for police brutality to happens to whites as well as everyone else? our President who claims to be all about our juridical due process, about upholding our law and order so that all Americans are not suffering from cruel and unusual punishments.
As evidenced by the fact that he couldn't run a casino without going bankrupt, Trump doesn't understand numbers...
That doesn't justify the percentage. There are fewer black people in this country. Yet they are twice the percentage of whites being brutalized and killed by police/
Not all black people commit crimes and not all white white people commit crimes. You can factor in the whole population, only the people committing crimes.
Again, the man doesn’t believe not understand the data - there’s a pattern here
So you change the statement from total numbers to percentages and pass it off as factual. We should do that to your paychecks and see how you like it. FakeNews
Police shouldn't be killing ANYONE. W.T.F?
More white people are on food stamps, welfare, unemployed, and more white people perpetuate crime. Now I bet y’all will make a point of the population percentage in those situations so do it in this one as well. Duh
Not when you control for number of police encounters.
Well. He’s not wrong. But the comparison of plain numbers doesn’t make sense.
Donny, blacks make up approximately 13% of the US population and account for twice as many police shooting deaths as whites. This is ok with you!?
Why WHY can a liars pants not literally catch on fire! Big problem solved. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace
This is the number of people shot to death by police by race 2017-2020.
Actually the science shows that when taking the context of the encounter, there is no statistical difference between blacks and whites with police killings. Stop promoting racial division based on false information, NPR!
Wait, he lied?
Who listen to this lying ahole anymore Everyone is just waiting until Nov 3rd From here on in every thing Trump does is a distraction to save himself. Even a good thing is a temporary trick ,he will take back backstab everyone
He not wrong. Many more whites are killed than blacks.
he's not one for data
But! tt..t... black police officers are the nicest! Honest! Im an experianced snowflake white and 'they' the black policemen, and polynesian of America police force are the nicest, yep! yep! Honest!!!
He just says whatever he wants. It doesn’t matter what the facts are.
The marbles are officially lost, this man won't find them.
Epstein, Maxwell, Trump.
He’s losing it
Black Americans are also committing way more violent crimes than any other demographic. You want to change that? Get rid of Dem. policies that promote fatherless-ness, welfare dependency, etc.
