"There were 511 officers killed in felonious incidents and 540 offenders from 2004 to 2013, according to FBI reports. Among the total offenders, 52 percent were white, and 43 percent were black."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...r-white-offenders-more-likely-to-kill-police/There were 304 officers killed in ambush attacks from 1980 to 2013, with 371 offenders involved in those deaths. The percentage of black and white offenders in ambushes were about the same: 44 percent were white, and 43 percent were black.
We've all heard the recent headlines about police shooting black suspects, so I thought I'd look into who is most likely to kill police officers. Nobody is talking about that in the media right now. Here's what I found;
From 2004-2013, the white population of the US ranged from 70% to 63% of the country, and accounted for 52% of felonious police killings.
Blacks made up 12%-13% of the US population, but accounted for 43% of felonious killings of police officers.

Further, it appears as though the 52% figure for whites is yet again counting Hispanics as white, which means the real number of white felonious killings of police officers is likely less than 52%.
Blacks also accounted for a staggeringly high number of ambush killings on police officers:

Do police officers have a legitimate reason to feel as though black suspects represent a greater risk to them?
Okay, let's play.
You posted numbers...so WHY do you think those numbers are the way they are? What do you think is the root cause of those numbers?
Must be de waycism, right Glen?

It's the Thug culture.

And...what do you think made "Thug culture" what you believe it to be?

Just answer the question, guy. WHY do you think those numbers are the way they are? You call yourself "truthatallcost", so let's see just how seriously you take your own pseudonym.
Hip Hop? Gangster Rap? Motown?
No. Out of about 320 million folks over the past decade a mere 540 of them killed (or participated in killing) a police officer. Of that very small small number of lethal threats, the race of the perp was about even for blacks and non-blacks.
Well, 13% of the population committed more overall homicides in 2013 than any other racial category. So apparently, blacks are more more likely to commit homicide than any other race.
C'mon now, I'm not asking you for numbers - I'm asking you WHY those numbers are as they are.

It was MUSIC that made what you call "Thug Culture"? Really? One would wonder, then, why it is that as rap and hip-hop became popular to the point of being mainstream over the past twenty years, why it is that over the SAME period of time, the homicide and violent crime rates have dropped so greatly nationwide, including in places named "Harlem" and "Compton".
Try again, guy.
Greedy people who wanted what they didn't have and also wanted to justify taking it. Nothing new in the history of humans.

I was just playing your game. Why do you think there are thugs?
And that has been answered. You just close your ears to them because the answers don't suit your preferred argument.
Numbers aren't valid? Why not?
Blacks behaving badly?
