> African Americans are 13% of the US population but commit over 50% of the homicides in the country

Given the source of that data (which is law enforcement agency reports), “are blamed by law enforcement for committing” would be more accurate.

So you believe that there are a significant amount of non-African-American murderers who managed to escape prosecution, and that these law enforcement agencies framed random African-Americans for murders they didn't commit? And you believe this happens across the country at rates high enough to change these numbers?
