It's actually half that because it's black males not black people pumping up those numbers. What's so astonishing about these numbers is I'm somebody who lives in the hood and can't think of a single person willing to talk to the police. So these black guys are getting busted in the act and failing to fight/run from the police. One of the smartest rap songs I heard talked about a kid getting out the hood because, while he did hood shit for money, he didn't go around flaunting it and worked alone. IDK it's something that's on my mind a lot after hearing gunshots nightly for damn near a decade. You would think the cycle would end at some point. Hell even just thinking about the ammo costs on busy nights is crazy lol.
I went to Philadelphia with my wife a few years ago (whenever they had that King Tut exhibit; what an overhyped display that was!) and we stayed at a decent hotel in town, but we heard gunshots all through the night!
