Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.
Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers — committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.
Okay, you just copied and pasted the text from the NYP article, but that article didn't provide any data sources, and it conflicts with other sources I've seen.
Another study showed:
"As to race, blacks were disproportionately represented in Stone's study; while comprising less than 13% of our population, blacks constituted 26% of cop killers in 2014."
Disproportionate, but not more likely. Where are some actual data as opposed to breathless NYP prose?
Innocent females have been killed, just not at the same rate.

Additional training is only one half of the solution. The other is weeding out the sick F's who are legal thugs with an axe to grind. The latter needs to be removed from the job and unable to work in any department anywhere.
ETA: Oh, you mean when citizens are hell-bent on killing cops? I think cops need to wear protective gear in certain parts of Chicago and other large cities, particularly when they're responding to calls intended to draw them out.

that my story and im sticking to it......
but off the record, cops are shooting too many people, they get scared so it legal to shoot. I believe you have to have a gun aim at you before you can shoot, better yet they have to shoot first.
I believe cops should be un-armed, they have already prove they cant be responsible with guns.
Really, there are approximately 700,000 police officers in this Country. Can you tell me the % of people shot each year? Then, tell me that there is some vast conspiracy or problem in such that this group of 700,000 has proven themselves irresponsible.

Of course more whites are killed by police, since we're the majority. That means, statistically speaking, that we're much more likely to be criminals. And that means more likely to be confronted by police.
So, all of that's "Captain Obvious" stuff for anyone with horse sense.
What your job is, if you're interested in stirring up white resentment, is to show us the figures on unarmed whites being killed by black cops.

I don't think the numbers have been updated, so I'll point to my post from some time ago:
As for why white people aren't outraged, I've said it before - we're apathetic. I think a lot of people are apathetic without having someone making a lot of noise and rallying the troops. I'm not fans of Jesse Jackson and Father Pfleger here in Chicago, but I have to give them credit for being able to rally the troops.
Without someone stepping up with a call to action, most people aren't likely to be outraged enough to do much of anything about anything.
Per capita, more Blacks get shot than Whites. A higher raw number of Whites get shot, but Blacks per capita get shot more. And before the detractors come to this post, yes, I'm very aware of the crime rates for Blacks in this country. I do not care. Committing a crime should not be grounds for a police officer to shoot someone.
I notice something else. The vast majority of those shot by police officers are MEN. Black women have been known to get in fisticuffs with police officers and live to tell about it. A Black man is more likely to be shot for just looking like he might inflict violence towards an officer than a Black woman who actually does inflict violence towards an officer.
Furthermore, even with the officer is guilty as sin, said officer has a chance of getting off. What is angering many people is that an officer can get away without a murder charge, even with camera footage showing said officer basically murdering said civilian. What disturbs me is that a civilian is expected to behave better than an officer is.
The real question is how many whites get shot in the back or while unarmed?
