Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani again weighed in on tensions between members of the black community and police officers in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday."
Giuliani said that he thinks that some police officers do discriminate against blacks, but he went on to say that blacks are partially responsible for that.
"There is more interaction and more unfair interaction among police officers, white and black, in the black community than in the white community. And I think some of that responsibility is on the police department and on police departments to train their officers better and to make their police departments much more diversified," Giuliani said Sunday. "But I think just as much, if not more, responsibility is on the black community to reduce the reason why the police officers are assigned in such large numbers to the black community."
Giuliani then brought up crime statistics similar to those he cited a week ago.
"Its because blacks commit murder eight times more per capita than any other group in our society. And when I assigned police officers with Commissioner Bratton and Commissioner Safir, we did it based on statistics. We didnt do it based on race. If there were a lot of murders in a community, we put a lot of police officers there," he said.

(7,403 posts)"The report, Homicide Trends in the United States, 1980-2008 (NCJ 236018), was written by BJS statisticians Alexia Cooper and Erica L. Smith. Following publication, the report can be found at http://www.bjs.gov."
That's where his "93% of murdered blacks are killed by other black people so why is no one outraged about that?" comment originated from as well.
They are real statistics from federal government studies, primarily the Bureau of Justice, like a black male is also 6 times more likely than a white male to be a murder victim.

(7,403 posts)7 or 8 times more likely per capita appears to be a correct number (just doing the math in my head, it might be like 7.6 and they are rounding it up to 8).
That's considering a 13% black population and a white population of 78%, including Hispanics which it appears they did to reach their 45.2% number.
