Uhm? So you are suggesting that blacks get stopped more than whites and yet according to the fbi cops kill more white people ?
If so you just destroyed the lefts argument and justification as to why more whites get killed by cops based on the irrelevant fact that there is a larger population of whites .
Might be time for the left to start #whitelivesmatter?
When you look at who is killed more you can not compare total populations

point it is its not "BLACK" culture -- not all blacks are in gangs -- unless you are saying I'm wrong and every black person is a rapper gangsta into killing anyone that dis'd them.
it's "Gangsta" culture and every single colour, creed and religion has people in this cultural mindset. You can't claim as exclusively as black.

What is interesting is why is the black on black violence overshadowed by the significantly lesser white on black cop killings.

I would hazard a guess at criminals killing other criminals is nowhere near as wrong as A paid official employed to protect and serve and apprehend perpetrators so they can be judged by a jury, a cop is paid in taxpayers money to arrest not kill members of society who have allegedly commited an offence, whether the member of society had commited a crime or not, it is a court of law which should judge and thus pass sentence not the cops handgun and itchy trigger finger
eg if you get into a disagreement with your neighbour and shoot him its less of a story than if a cop turned up and shot one of you to resolve the argument

Yes they most certainly do...seen it first hand. Maybe there is some small variance by area but where I grew up it didnt matter...cops always heavily patrolled and messed with people in low income areas. Black, white, brown, yellow, no matter.
I also lived in the drug dealing gun toting criminal world for a good 15 years of my life and saw plenty of interactions and heard about many more...it was common. Most cops don't care past the fact its their job and big busts make them more money at the I job in the long run.

You cant act like there isnt a chain if causation though.
Nonetheless....living in a high crime area should not mean you are at greater risk of police interaction. Or, rather, we should recognize the adverse impact created by it. Poor white folks in the country dont get that kind of scrutiny despite their own issues.
“There is nothing more painful to me … than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

I think something you are not accounting for is frequency. Whether cops are more or less prone to violence against civilians is only part of the equation. But if we have a legal structure that provides for an increased frequency of contact, then it obviously is going to lead to more issues.

Dickhead dads, strong mothers - murder rates in gangs killing the dads.
more free money and a flat if no dad ?
( I know many white ladies in the uk with multiple kids by different dads because welfare pays them a easy life)
So with more white kids in single families shouldn't that equal more white rapper gang members? or if you look at the large estates around Europe yes it does.
