As you all know I clearly have no position and I do not stand either with the Afro-American community or with the police, however I am somebody that likes statistics and numbers, and today instead of talking directly about the Dallas shootings, I thought that I would pull up some numbers that way we can actually see without need for announcing myself who is right and who is less right in all of this that is happening in our nation in the past seven days.
As we all know nearly 55% of the inmate population is Afro-American, however 13% of the nation’s population is black, this obviously rings a bell, so I went and researched in-depth thanks to these numbers. 81% of armed robberies are committed by black people, 69% of fatal shootings are committed by black people and I will stop there, because robbing a bank or a jewelry store or voluntarily shooting somebody does not make you a victim it makes you a criminal and an assassin.
In favor of the Afro-American community there are other numbers rather than the ones that I polled above that are not certainly in favor of the black community. In the state of Florida with the Afro-American community is 12.9%, 52% of each please traffic stop is on Afro-Americans 62% of the time males. Those traffic stops and the 72% of the time would be Afro-American citizen being arrested, in most cases they are arrested for driving a stolen vehicle, driving without a license (either suspended or they’ve never had one), found in possession of a firearm or illegal substances and the why use alcohol or narcotic.
The white community that is pulled over by police is only 39.9%, 21.6% and up being an arrest, usually for the same misdemeanor or felony crimes that I have listed above, but a deep research made by CNN just two days ago claimed that in the state of Florida a man or a woman of white skin driving without insurance, registration or a drivers license will most probably be cited and sent on their way, while in most cases if that person is Afro-American they will be caught in the back of the squad car and sent to jail.
So as you can see there is a lot again the Afro-American community when it comes to serious crimes, as they are the ones that come the most of them, but when it comes down to simple infractions nine out of 10 times the Afro-American will end up in jail while the white guys won’t.
So as I pull myself of this as somebody that is neutral and is not backing either one the blacks or the police, I for however that if I polled a few numbers then everybody can make up their own idea on all of this that is happening has happened for quite a while in our great nation.
