    I corrected it in an earlier post.
    My OP was a typo.

    Sorry, I read that later also. I guess I should read the entire thread first before I post.

    If it was 13% of population, 13% of crime, and 40% of people killed by police, I think the movement would get much broader and almost universal support. Even 13,20,40. But the chance of being killed by a cop correlates very nicely with violent crime rate and any residual could very well be explained by socioeconomic and geographic factors.

    Regarding the black on black murders, that certainly doesn't help either to garner support. I wonder how many of the shooters in Chicago this weekend were BLM supporters. It certainly can be understood how that takes away from the perception of the movement in the eyes of many. If the BLM supporters would take just half the energy and effort that they spend protesting, rioting and looting and turned it inward towards improving troubled communities, maybe we could really save some black lives and create real change.

    My oversight, sorry.

    Actually 60% white... The 44% represents a particular subset of whites.

    Apparently complaints were made to the police regarding a plane flown near to the stadium where Man City were hosting Burnley on Monday night. Police rightly investigated the complaints and determined no laws had been broken. Case closed.
