It's based on what I thought. So - 100% of all people who use the handle OrangeBlossomBaby on websites dedicated to Talk of the Villages - agree.
There's your statistic.

I was wondering if you had any reports or analysis on the phenomenon of the excessive number of shootings of blacks, BY BLACKS in areas such as Chicago, Philadelphia and Milwaukee. Far more blacks have lost their life at the hands of other blacks then at the hands of police.
Some STAGGERING numbers from 2011 Chicago PD:
VICTIMS
83.4% of deaths were from shootings, 6.7% stabbings, and 6.5% assaults. Of the 362 firearm homicides, 351 (97%) were from handguns. 77% of all homicide victims had a prior arrest history. Victims were 90% male.
Victims By Race:
Black 326 75.3% Hispanic 82 18.9% White 20 4.6%. Other 5 1.2%
Offenders By Race:
Black 122 71.3% Hispanic 42 24.6% White 6 3.5% Other 1 .6%
It may be more beneficial to focus on the bigger cause of unnecessary deaths in America than to sensationalize other causes of deaths In our communities.
