"I pray that we can pass this legislation so we can hopefully close down my police brutality division in my law firm, because I am so tired of seeing black people killed.”
The police have shot and killed more white people in the last 5 years than poc. Mr. Crump is a race baiter. I think this situation is about police reform - not a genocide on people of color. If Ben Crump cares about people of color dying by gunfire, he should head up to Chicago and try and do something about al of the black people who are being killed by gun violence every single day.
You are correct that more white people are killed by police each year, but remember, they are a much larger segment of the population. Just about thirteen percent is Black. Despite this, 52% as many Black people as white were killed by police last year. So, you may take issue with Crump or some of his terminology but it's an unquestionably disproportionate situation.
Police make contact with white people 23% of their time and 20% with black people. I acknowledge that black people only make up 13ish% of the us population. Whites make up roughly 60%. This off sets that disproportionate situation. I would just really love to see Crump stop with so much divisive language is all.
