Youre as likely to be shot by a cop as you are to be hit by lightning lol Plus whites are more likely to be shot than blacks http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11292-012-9163-y http://www.colorofcrime.com/2016/03/the-color-of-crime-2016-revised-edition/ We're only half way through the year and we're at 600 cop shooting deaths. Last year, the total was 1,200. Now, lets see how many people will be killed by police (regardless of guilt) in a single man's life time. 1,200 x 95 = 108,000 people killed by police in your life time. Effectively, you have a 27/800,000 chance of being killed by a cop in your life time. Which, now that I've done the math, doesn't seem that bad. But, lets do a comparison just because I would like to. There's an annual 12,000 Homicides in the US. 60% of those are committed by black men. 13% of those are black on white murder (according to FBI Homocide Table 6). So, Black men (on average) murder an annual 936 whites a year. In a life time (assuming race rates don't change) that's 88,920. Which is about 2,223/8,000,000 (223/800,000) However, remember that cops are relatively uncommon, so your overall probability of being attacked by one is lower so you're about 10x more likely to be killed by a black dude than a cop.
