However, Brian Forst, a professor in the Department of Justice, Law and Criminology at American University, said this difference is predictable.
"More whites are killed by the police than blacks primarily because whites outnumber blacks in the general population by more than five to one," Forst said. The country is about 63 percent white and 12 percent black.

Good point, I'd wager more innocent black people are shot than white at a much higher rate.

Again a broad statement.. how do you define a Law Abiding Citizen
And since when are the police the judge Jury and executioner of the Law abiding citizens..
I work in a prison with convicted non law abiding Citizens.. and I do not have the liberty to smash them in the face if they don't do as I ask .. and those officers who do lose their jobs rather quickly .. the same should apply to officers on the street
2015 U.S. police killed 776 people, 161 of whom were completely unarmed at the time of their death.
its the unarmed ones thats my concern .. if you have a gun or a knife in your hand or going for it .. Id shoot you dead

I would think that you would know sometimes you just what's in the hand or pocket . I agree that on those very few times an officer blatantly kills somebody he should be convicted and get the maximum sentence .
Back to the topic.

He's trying to show that, because not everyone who commits murder is black or muslim, therefore there is no valid reason for whites to be concerned about violence in those groups.
How anyone can think that, is beyond me, but that's what he's trying to show
In Kalamazoo, Mich. I bet blacks don't commit a lot of murder id Fargo, ND either.
