In reply to the discussion: Chris Cuomo: Police reform won't happen until 'white people's kids start getting killed' [View all]Scrivener7
(50,949 posts)Where are you getting that?
About twice the number of white PEOPLE are shot by cops each year as black people. While white people make up 72% of the population while 13% are black.
But where are you getting the idea that more white KIDS are killed in police shootings than black kids?
This article says a black child is 6x MORE LIKELY TO BE KILLED BY THE POLICE.

There are about 5.5 times more white people than black people in the USA.
That means that EVEN IN RAW NUMBERS AND NOT PERCENTAGES more black kids are killed by police than white kids. And again, white people are 72% of the population and black people are 13% of the population.
So the actual numbers do not support YOUR statement in any way.
