Donald Trump wants to remind everyone only one percent of blacks are killed by police whereas ninety seven percent of blacks are killed by other blacks. In order to get his point across he tweeted a statistic meme on Sunday.

According to FBI statistics, out of the 2,451 homicides of black people in 2014, 90 percent were committed by black people and 8 percent were committed by white people.
CNN pointed out on the flip side, out of the 3,021 homicides of white people in 2014, 82 percent were committed by white people and 15 percent were committed by black people.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
The figures tweeted by Trump were off. 81 percent of white homicide victims are not killed by blacks. The statistics themselves could not be verified and CNN could not find the San Francisco Crime Statistics Bureau it referenced.
Wayne Dupree from the Wayne Dupree Show was included in the tweet and told the Shark Tank he has been getting a lot of hate tweets from liberals because of it.
This is what Dupree said:Honestly I am not sure where the original tweet came from and when my timeline started lighting up with liberal hate and cowardly statements against Donald Trump for RT’ing it I knew it struck a nerve. Everyone known there’s more black on black crime in America and that’s why a lot of twitter users were angry. As for the tweet itself, I probably wouldn’t have tweeted that one as the numbers can’t be verified but (after) watching and reading stories across the nation it’s on the right track. If liberals want to be that angry, tell them to stop hiding black on black killing(s) in Chicago, Baltimore, NY, Florida, Texas and California . . . it’s destroying out communities.
The re-tweet came a few days after a half-dozen white attendees at a Trump rally shoved, tackled, punched and kicked a black protester who tried to disrupt his speech. Trump told Fox News on Sunday the following about the incident:
Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing.
His campaign later said they do “not condone” the physical altercation.
