In Latin American countries Amerindians refers to the indigenous tribal populations, not the polyglot Spanish, African, Indian (from India), Italian, Portuguese, etc majority populations that are heavily mixed.
Hispanics are Amerindians? LOL< LOL< LOL.
According to the 2010 US Census, blacks are 43 percent of the population of Philadelphia, while whites make up roughly 36 percent of the population. “Hispanics” (Amerindians) make up roughly 12 percent of the population.
The one beautiful fact of the Philadelphia Police Department data is they break out the racial stats of both victim and suspect for homicides and nonfatal shootings without lumping Amerindians in with whites.
Let’s get to the numbers!
There were 280 homicides in Philadelphia in 2015:
76.7 percent of the victims were black
15.7 percent of the victims were Amerindian
5.7 percent of the victims were white
There were 1,236 nonfatal shooting victims in Philadelphia in 2015:
83.9 percent of the victims were black
12.4 percent of the victims were Amerindian
2.8 percent of the victims were white
Of known suspects, the race of the offenders in the 2015 homicides in Philadelphia (representing 105 of the 280 cases, because of the propensity for the black community to protect black criminals):
81.9 percent of the suspects were black
9.5 percent of the suspects were Amerindian
7.6 percent of the suspects were white (if the clearance rate for homicides were higher in Philadelphia, the percent of white suspects would drop significantly with 62.5% of homicides lacking a suspect)
To summarize: 91.4 percent of known homicide suspects/offenders in 2015 Philadelphia were non-white (the number would be higher if the black community would “snitch”).
Of known suspects, the race of the offenders in the 2015 nonfatal shootings in Philadelphia (representing only 238 of the 1236 cases):
85.7 percent of the suspects were black
10.6 percent of the suspects were Amerindian
2.5 percent of the suspects were white
To summarize: 96.3 percent of known nonfatal shooting suspects/offenders in 2015 Philadelphia were non-white (the number would be higher if the black community would “snitch”). Roughly 81 percent of nonfatal shooting cases in Philadelphia went unsolved in 2015
Only 19 percent of the nonfatal shootings had suspects, compared to 37.5 percent of the homicides. If each nonfatal shooting/homicide had a suspect (offender), how much of the percentage do you think would be nonwhite?
The “no snitching” culture runs deep in black/brown Philadelphia, keeping violent black/brown people on the streets to prey on the law-abiding and artificially keep down the already high black/brown crime rates as identified by yearly released Philadelphia Police Department Murder/Shooting Analysis (because almost all of the white crime is domestic disputes easily solved – whose offender is not protected by community members – by detectives).
Gun crime has a color. It isn’t white.
FILTHADELPHIA! A CESSPOOL OF CRIME, VERMIN AND DISEASE THAT IS DRAINING THE STATE’S RESOURCES! WAKE UP!
