13% of the population commits over 50% of the violent crime in this country. What's racist about discussing this reality?

Your info is outdated.
If you want to focus on the small community of ATS as the catalyst for your rant that's fine but you would do well to find out who and what is pushing this narrative.

Again, there is no regulation or federal agency reporting police killings, it's literally a civilians job to try to find out.

Oh really. Well check this out. FBI's Uniform Crime Reports.
You get it entirely. When does it stop though? Why is it that the majority of people are on the wrong sides of the fence? If someone is on a side, they are on the wrong side.

This covert racism is likely a mixture of a holdover from yesteryear, mixed with the political class keeping folk divided so that populations can be forced to not only accept, but willingly promote the continuance of a hegemony, with regard to the quality and accountability of their representatives and the "leader" of their nation.
This hegemony only benefits the enemies of freedom, who own the banks, the federal reserve, the land under your feet and the politicians who administrate on their behalf, not the behalf of citizens generally.
It's the oldest shell game ever devised, older than the term that describes it by many, many moons.
From 2003 through 2012, law-enforcement officers killed an average of 429 people per year in “legal interventions.” These include a relatively small number of innocent people killed by cops and many more who died due to reasonable use of force.
On average, 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012, according to the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports. Using FBI and CDC statistics, Professor Johnson calculates that 112 black men, on average, suffered both justified and unjustified police-involved deaths annually during this period.
This equals 2.5 percent of these 4,472 yearly deaths. For every black man — criminal or innocent — killed by a cop, 40 black men were murdered by other black men. The, at most, 2.5 percent of the problem generates relentless rage.

Well my bad. Mixed up killings of civilians with police officers.
Well here's something else. University of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined the data from the FBI and Centers for Disease Control.

This really should be in the mud pit...
You have already made up your mind that anyone that doesn't agree with your line of thought (100%)is a racist so its not like an actual conversation can take place.
