And the remainder may also be, it’s just the facts haven’t been fully determined yet.
Via Truth Revolt:
The Washington Post is publishing its own findings that in 95% of fatal police shootings, the criminal brandished a weapon and in most cases, shot first. It is only 5% of officer-involved shootings where the details are unclear to make a precise determination. But it’s that small percentage that leads to all of the second-guessing and public outcry.
If that fact alone doesn’t assuage the narrative that police officers are bloodthirsty homicidal maniacs, this next one should slam the prison cell shut for good. Despite what the media and the #BlackLivesMatter movement would have us all believe, the perpetrators killed by officers are mostly white.
But what’s that you say? You thought police officers were trigger-happy racists? That couldn’t be further from the truth.
The Post has been following all officer-involved shootings in 2015. Of the 800 so far, half of those shot by police are white. Only one-quarter are black and even less are Hispanics.
