“A police officer is 165 times more likely to be killed by a white man than an unarmed white man is to be killed by a cop.”

Content: Mac Donald cites official FBI statistics on police killings. The FBI actually says that 41 officers “died from injuries incurred in the line of duty during felonious incidents” in 2015, not 52. Mac Donald examines the “historical average” of offenders’ races, and I’ll do the same: From 2006-2015, 289 of 543 “cop-killers” were white, which is 53%. 53% of 41 deaths is 22 cops killed by white people.
