A black man in America is more likely to be killed by lightning than by a police officer and it's rare for police to kill anyone and when a shooting occurs, it needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Numerous scientific studies have proven when behavioral, demographic, and other contextual factors are controlled-the racial disparity in police shootings disappears. In 2019, police shot and killed 1,003 people in the US, according to the Washington Post's Fatal Force database.

A black man in America is more likely to be killed by lightning than by a police officer and it's rare for police to kill anyone and when a shooting occurs, it needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Numerous scientific studies have proven when behavioral, demographic, and other contextual factors are controlled-the racial disparity in police shootings disappears. In 2019, police shot and killed 1,003 people in the US, according to the Washington Post's Fatal Force database. Of those, 250 were black and 405 white and police shot and killed 55 unarmed suspects, including 25 whites and 14 blacks. The false narratives and fake news surrounding police shootings of innocent black suspects has caused law enforcement officers to be demonized, assaulted, and murdered. According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), there were 686,665 sworn police officers in the United States in 2018 which equals one unarmed black male shot and killed for every 49,047 sworn police officers. Despite these facts, politicians, activists, and the media continue to push a false narrative with fake news about rampant police brutality. It's time to stop the lying and set the record straight! In 2018, police made 10,310,960 arrests, according to the FBI, and the race was known for 5.6 million offenders. Of them, 1,548,690 (27.4%) were black and there were 229 black males shot and killed by police that year, according to the Washington Post, for a ratio of one out of every 6,762 black offenders. The ratio of unarmed black men shot and killed (23) in 2018 was one out of 67,334 black men arrested! The hard facts, inconvenient truths, and multiple unbiased data sources used for Crime Rate Madness, more than prove there is no epidemic of racist police shootings in the US. Furthermore, a long list of scientific papers disproves systemic racial bias in police killings. Nonetheless, for some of you this MADNESS book will be a will be a triggering event, denial of truth, and a painful intervention. For others, it will be a revelation, an epiphany, a sapient being moment.
Autorenporträt
Corey Lee Wilson was raised an atheist by his liberal Playboy Bunny mother, has three Anglo-Latino siblings, a brother who died of AIDS, a biracial daughter, baptized a Protestant by his conservative grandparents, attended temple with his Jewish foster parents, baptized again as a Catholic for his first Filipina wife, attends Buddhist ceremonies with his second Thai wife, became an agnostic on his own free will for most of his life, and is a lifetime independent voter.Corey felt the sting of intellectual humility by repeating the 4th grade and attended 18 different schools (17 in California and one in the Bahamas) before putting himself through college at Mt. San Antonio College (without parents) and Cal Poly Pomona University (while on triple secret probation). Named Who's Who of American College Students in 1984, he received a BS in Economics (summa cum laude) and won his fraternity's most prestigious undergraduate honor, the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity's Shideler Award, both in 1985.As a satirist and fraternity man, Corey started Fratire Publishing in 2012 and transformed the fiction "fratire" genre to a respectable and viewpoint diverse non-fiction genre promoting practical knowledge and wisdom to help everyday people navigate safely through the many hazards of life. In 2019, he founded the SAPIENT Being to help promote freedom of speech, viewpoint diversity, intellectual humility and most importantly advance sapience in America's students and campuses.
