Statistics On Cops Killed By Race?

To really dig into the numbers, you would have to look at the data on how many arrests, or some other measure, are made by police, and then look at the percentages of those based on race. Then, you would break down the rate with which those interactions result in a law enforcement fatality. So the percentage of cops killed by black people versus white may be disproportionate, it would be interesting to see how the proportions work when compared to the rate of interactions those members of the community have with police. That 43% of cops killed by black people may seem disproportionate based on overall population, but when you throw the additional independent variable of arrest rates in there it really muddies that water.

So what I'd really like to know is the rate that encounters with police result in a fatality of either the suspect or the officer, and that data broken down by race.

So because they commit a disproportionate amount of crime, and thus have more interactions with police, you're going to claim the waters get "muddied" that 12% of the population is responsible for 43% of police murders?

....right. That sounds reasonable. Not their fault they kill so many police. It's the police's fault for arresting them for their crimes.
