USEFUL STATISTICS ON POLICE ACTION NATIONWIDE

I forwarded this to my wife, basically a white negro. She thinks almost all people killed by police are negroes killed for white racist reasons. I don't know why I bothered forwarding it. She lives in a WNYC (Brian Lehrer), NPR, NYT fog. No point in reasoning with someone like that, really.

"...I think there will be further incidents along these lines between  now and the election.  Across the nation, our police consistently kill about three people a day.  So far this year they have killed 661 people, most of whom we never hear of.  242 of them, it is worth noting, are white, and 123 are black.  80 are Hispanic and more than 200 do not have an identified race.  Only when actual video exists do they become national issues.  Shootings remain constant and videos become more and more common, and thus, I expect more well-publicized cases.  Each of them will lead to more marches, probably to more outbursts of arson and looting, and perhaps to more violent counter-protests as well.  I share the fear that all this will help Donald Trump in his campaign for re-election...."
