Racist or not racist ?

Much of this killing is the result of gun violence in Minneapolis. 503 people have been struck by gunfire in the city so far this year, according to the Public Health and Safety Committee, which also reports that 83% of shooting victims in the city have been black. The majority of shooters are also black, according to Police Chief Medaria Arradondo.

“85% of people who are perpetrating those crimes [shootings] look like us,” he said, speaking at a local church Saturday. “The biggest threat to public safety in our city, specifically the African-American community, it ain’t somebody who’s wearing this uniform,” he added, pointing to his own police gear.

Note: Although only 20% of Minneapolis's population is African American, they commit 85% of the shootings.
