Still doesn't change the fact that conservative news sites have been quiet about cop killings but You best believe that if a 59% rise in the number of police officers shot and killed in the line of duty could be blamed on immigrants, Mexicans, or black folk, it would be a regular conservative talking point.
Kinda hard to push the evil brown people killing cops when they are not the ones doing the killing.
Exactly how many cops were killed so far this year nation wide? 35total? 17 by gunfire? 14 by vehicle?4 other? With small numbers like that the percentages can swing wildly.

Yeah, and more white men were killed by police.
There are way more of us white men. So the numbers are going to be higher. I bet white men also get more flat tires.
There are more white people convicted of murder too! Because there are more of us.
Compare the percentages and you're not going to post it.
THIS, its a percentage thing! What percent of the population commits what percent of crimes? Stats!
Here is a chart, and it separates hispanic from white, which most don't.

A 4 month sample size of a small number...every statistician in here is rolling their eyes. and the number is not even far out. And if this number includes hispanics which some do include as white then it would be lol.

That page has it broken down by everything except race. I didn't find any obvious links for a breakdown of race.

You are entirely correct, and why Race Faker and Gun Hypocrite Shaun King's clickbait article is a farce.
FOR ALL THE COP HATING RACIST AMERICA PROPONENTS TAKING SHAUN KING'S WORD FOR GOSPEL, sit down, put on your thinking caps and let me explain why, with a bit of basic math, you can learn why King is presumptive and definitely premature in his stupid article.
King Claims that 71% of American Cops killed by gunfire this year are killed by white people, this is technically true, but as Alien Abduct so succinctly put, with numbers as small as these (17), the percentages can vary wildly. Shaun is trying to abuse that by throwing out percentages that seem huge (oh my god, 71%?!, thats like crazy high!)
For a bit of basic math. What King has done, has taken the total number of murders (17) and divided it by 100.
17/100 = 0.17
Doing this divides 17 up into 100 equal parts. If you now take this small number and multiply it by 71%, you get 12 murders
So, 71 "percent" = 'only' 12 murders.
Now, let us figure out which share of the overall percentage each murder is responsible for.
Take 100 (percent) and divide it by 17 (total murders)
100/17 = ~5.9
This means that each murder accoutns for a whopping 5.9% of ALL murders.
This is where the critical thinking aspect comes in. I know this is hard for those of you who allow Progressive mouthpieces to do your thinking for you, but it's important to uncover the truth here.
We are not even half way through the year, it is reasonable to expect (unfortunately) that more cops are going to be murdered this year. Let's add just 1 more hypothetical murder, and total out to 18 and do that last calculation all over again.
100/18 = ~5.5 or, in our hypothetical 18 total cop murders, each individual murder accounts for 5.5% of all total murders.
Now consider the very real possibility that the next murder is not done by white person (we will leave the whole White Hispanic vs. Non-White Hispanic thing open for now))
Holding on to the 12 white murders, white peoples new share of total murders drops down to 66%, much more reflective of the Non-Hispanic White share of the population we have.
Now, I understand that this may even be a bit of a stretch, but let's add just one more non-white murder
100/19 = ~5.2
again, holding onto the 12 murders whites are responsible for, whites are now responsible for 62.4% - under non-white shares of the population of ~65%
Hopefully this little exercise shows you that King trying to play the numbers game probably isn't the best drivel you should be spreading considering how precarious the current numbers are. This is why the numbers games that are thrown out are always so ridiculous, you can do amazing things with numbers.

I think the reason you don't find the stats: it is a political nightmare for law enforcement.
its the main reason that 'caucasian' blends white and hispanic. without number fudging the stats would show the blatantly obvious: criminal justice, for whatever reason and through whatever mechanism, has adverse impacts on black people at a much higher level than any other racial grouping.
