Univ of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined crime data from FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports & @CDCgov & found an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012.

@NicolleDWallace @matthewamiller
Professor Johnson’s research further found that 112 black men died from both justified & unjustified police-involved killings annually during this same period. Police aren't what's killing young black males. It's other YBM. @matthewamiller @MSNBC 40:1 ratio. Press misleads.
I looked up this data my self from CDC & two other reliable data sources, Institute of Justice Stats & LEKIA, law enforcement killed in action, 400 cops KIA in comparable period, half by homicide. Twice more criminals kill cops than cops kill YBM. @NicolleDWallace @MSNBC
Our societal dysfunction on race shows massive DENIAL of REALITY. The greatest threats to young black males are other YBM, NOT the police. @RTDOpinions Yes, #BlackLivesMatter but Facts Matter, Truth Matters. No problem can be solved unless FACTS are believed. @RichmondPolice
This denial of reality on this policing issue on the left is NO DIFFERENT FROM TRUMP & MAGA crowd denial of facts they don't like. @matthewamiller @NicolleDWallace Sure, some bad cops, & police can improve, but press NEVER REPORTS in any balanced way. @NBC12 @RichmondPolice
