The question he's asking is... Why do you think that is?
Rob, why do you think that is?

I don't know... why do you think it is?
Haha, this illustrates the problem with *****footing around racial issues that we're dealing with.
I've offered my opinion here. The racial group that comprises 13% of the population commits the majority of overall murders, and so it makes sense that they would also be more likely to attempt to kill police officers.
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?
It's like you are being asked "why is the ocean blue?" and your answer is... "because it's blue". You're not answering the question at all. Why do you think these murder numbers are so high for them?
Police statistics shed fresh light on link between crime and race - TelegraphTwelve per cent of London’s men are black. But 54 per cent of the street crimes committed by men in London, along with 46 per cent of the knife crimes and more than half of the gun crimes, are thought by the Metropolitan Police to have been committed by black men.
Police should be more respectful when dealing with black people. They should just do what the black people say and they'll be fine.
And...what do you think made "Thug culture" what you believe it to be?

Different history, different continent, same crime figures.
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.
Still haven't answered the question of "why" IYO? If you don't want to, just say so.
Different values, different educational levels, than those who don't have a violent crime problem.
The "potential" is out of whack because blacks have been subjected to a false narrative that claims they are being killed at a greater rate than other races by officers.
So, the whole thing is based on a lie that's been hyped by the media.
FDR and LBJ.
You can't just throw out a couple of names without describing how they specifically caused the numbers seen in the OP. C'mon now, be specific and detailed...and make sure that you can defend your claims.
Killing LEOs is never justified. It doesn't matter why they do it.
And...what do you think made "Thug culture" what you believe it to be?
I've answered it already, I just haven't used your particular list of scapegoats, which might be why it isn't registering for you.
Blacks are more likely to commit homicide period, which explains why they'd be more likely to be in a situation where they're attempting to kill a police officer.
Did oppression and poverty and institutionalized racism drive them to kill cops? No.
I'm still trying to figure out why so many white kids wanna be in the thug life and listen to their crap music with lyrics that mean nothing to them.
Some blacks behave badly, as do some whites.
Its not an opinion, you can read the numbers cant you? You don't like what they say doesn't change it.
Because black people kill more people period.

Of course I can.
No, you can't. Why? Because - as is made obvious by your 30K+ posts on DP - you not only have the wherewithal but the desire to do so, but on this issue...you refuse to offer details or anything of real substance.
Don't feel bad - the same goes for every other conservative who's answered this thread. Every single one - see it for yourself - has ha-RUMPHed their way out of answering the simple question (unless you count the guy who made the silly claim, "It's the music!").
And we all know why y'all won't answer the simple question.
