Your article loses all credibility almost from the start. I direct you to this vomitous attempt at "journalism";
Quote:The high-profile cases that have involved the death of blacks nationwide are all too familiar. And so are the names of the non-convicted: George Zimmerman, Betty Shelby, Darren Wilson.
Darren Wilson is not "non-convicted", he's non charged because every investigation into the events of Mike Brown's death corroborate Wilson's versions of events and justified his use of deadly force on Brown. If you don't believe me, read the Obama era DOJ report on the incident, I've read the entire report.

Actual proponents of police reform do more damage to their own cause than anyone else when the use inane example such as Brown to make their point. Not only do the turn off numerous people to their argument, they dilute and minimize tragic events such as Tamir Rice's death by holding Brown up as a direct comparison.
As for the attempted substance of the article, whites are victimized by blacks at a much greater proportional rate than the other way around. Don't believe me, simply view the FBI's statistics on the issue. This is 2013, but the results are rather consistent from year to year.

Despite being only around 13% of the population blacks killed whites more than twice as often as the opposite. If you want to have a conversation about why this is the case, then try and have it. But don't throw some ham fisted pathetic attempt at journalism at us as proof of some larger conspiracy or injustice. Before I forget, I'll preempt your pathetic, "I'm only posting this to generate discussion", defense. No one buys it so please spare us.
