There was a story this week that the police chief in New York said 75% of violent crimes in New York are committed by black people. I wonder if that might be what he is referring to.

When you analyze the statistics, the results are very illuminating...
Blacks comprise about 13% of the US population
Half are females, so it's down to roughly 6.5%
Black males between the ages of 0-12 reduce the percentage even further.
Black males over the age of 45 don't commit that much crime, either
A large number of black men are incarcerated in the penal system-they aren't out committing crimes
So, the huge amount of violent crime attributable to blacks in this country is overwhelmingly committed by an age cohort (13-44) of black men that can't be even 2.5% of the population.
