Yeah, well, we all know Snopes is part of the leftist brainwashing machine.
They say that in "total numbers" more White than Black people are killed by the police because there are a lot more White than Black people in the U.S., and then they say that, "overall," Black people are "more likely" to be killed by the police than White people. This only makes sense if they mean to say that a higher percentage of the Black population is more likely to be killed by the police than the percentage of the White population. However, while they say that more Whites are killed by police only because Whites supposedly comprise a roughly five times greater share of the U.S. population than Blacks, when they try to say that Blacks are actually "more likely" to be killed by police than Whites, they purposefully fail to mention that a higher percentage of the Black population is more likely to be killed by the police because the percentage of the Black population that commits violent crimes is much higher than the percentage of the White population that commits violent crimes.
Snopes makes the statistics relative to total numbers and percentages of the Black and the White populations in order to make the number of Whites killed by police seem irrelevant, but they don't disclose that, even though Blacks comprise about 13% of the U.S. population, they commit over half (about 52%) of the violent crime in the U.S., which means that Blacks have way more confrontations with the police than Whites and any other race, but regardless of that, more Whites than Blacks are killed by the police anyway.
They just manipulate the truth to make it fit the "racism" narrative as much as possible.
