I never worry about being shot by police either because I obey the law and when pulled over for a moving violation, I always follow the officer’s directions.
This guy is saying that white people are less likely to provoke people, including cops, into shooting them. That sounds racist to me.
Chicago has more murders than any other city in the United States — more than New York and Los Angeles combined — but white people are nearly as safe here as in Europe. Through late September, more than 550 people in Chicago have been homicide victims this year. Of those, more than 400 were black, about 90 were Latino and fewer than 30 were “white/other,” even though we’re the most numerous ethnic category in the city and the surrounding area. (Fewer than 10 victims were categorized as being of “unknown” ethnicity.) The black murder rate last year was 46 per 100,000, higher than it was a decade ago. The white murder rate, which has declined, was 2.7. That means blacks are 17 times more likely to be murdered than whites.
