Trump Retweets Bogus Crime Graphic
By Robert Farley November 23, 2015 | Updated on November 24, 2015 https://www.factcheck.org/2015/11/trump-retweets-bogus-crime-graphic/
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump retweeted a bogus graphic purporting to show the percentage of whites killed by blacks and other homicide data delineated by race. Almost every figure in the graphic is wrong, some of them dramatically so.
Trump’s Twitter account retweeted the graphic on Nov. 22 without any explanation. The image shows a man hidden behind a bandanna pointing a gun under the heading “USA Crime Statistics — 2015” and next to statistics that purport to show homicides by race.
We’re not going to speculate about how originators of the graphic may have twisted data to come up with incorrect figures, or what intent may have been behind those errors — though others have.
We’ll just provide some correct figures according to the latest data available on all homicides from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reports data, for 2014. The 2015 data won’t be released publicly until the fall of 2016.
In cases when the race of the perpetrator and victim were known, among the 3,021 white victims of murder in 2014, 2,488 of them were killed by white offenders, and 446 were killed by black offenders. Among the 2,451 black murder victims in 2014, 187 of them were killed by white offenders, and 2,205 were killed by black offenders. Here’s how the percentages work out:
⁂Whites killed by blacks: 14.8 percent.
⁂Whites killed by whites: 82.4 percent.
⁂Blacks killed by whites: 7.6 percent.
⁂Blacks killed by blacks: 90 percent.
⁂ FBI’s Criminal Justice：308 white felons killed by police officers in 2014, and 119 black felons.
⁂FBI homicide averages from 2010 to 2013 to the Washington Post：4 percent of all black homicide victims are killed by police, while 10 percent of all white homicide victims are killed by police.
⁂The Guardian：1,024 people have been killed by police in 2015 through Nov. 23. 509 white, 261 black, 164 Hispanic/Latino, 59 other/unknown, 18 Asian/Pacific Islander, 13 Native American.
⁂KilledByPolice.net：1,066 people in the U.S. were killed by police this year as of Nov. 23. The site counts 280 black people killed by police this year compared with 437 white people.
⁂Washington Post：a tally that stood at 878 this year as of the date of this posting. 417 were white and 224 were black. The site also tracks those who were black and unarmed — 30 so far this year.
