Donald Trump defended US police as he spoke to reporters outside the White House (Picture: AP) Donald Trump has claimed ‘more white people’ are killed by cops as he downplayed police violence against black Americans. During an interview with CBS News, the president took immediate offence at being asked why black people were still dying at the hands of police. ‘And so are white people, so are white people. What a terrible question to ask,’ Trump responded. He continued: ‘So are white people. More white people, by the way. More white people.’ {“@context”:“https:\/\/schema.org”,“@type”:“VideoObject”,“name”:“Metro.co.uk”,“duration”:“T19S”,“thumbnailUrl”:“https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2020\/07\/15\/06\/30781228-0-image-a-13_1594792676334.jpg”,“uploadDate”:“2020-07-15T06:57:46+0100”,“description”:“In an interview with CBS News, US President Donald Trump said more white than black people are killed at the hands of police in the United States.”,“contentUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2020\/07\/15\/7382792953504183951\/480x270_MP4_7382792953504183951.mp4”,“height”:270,“width”:480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Police violence against black Americans has sparked protests across the US following the brutal death of George Floyd, who was killed in Minneapolis after a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Trump’s claim was soon rejected by analysis from the Washington Post analysis, which found half of the people shot and killed by US police are white, but black Americans are shot at a disproportionate rate. They account for less than 13% of the US population but are killed by police at more than twice the rate of white Americans, the analysis found. Trump, later speaking to reporters at the White House, defended police departments, saying they ‘do an incredible job in this country.’ Protests against racist police brutality spread across the US following George Floyd’s death at the hands of police (Picture: AFP) Protesters marched outside the White House and were held back by police (Picture: EPA) An activist stands near a newly painted Black Lives Matter mural outside of Trump Tower in New York City (Picture: Angela Weiss/AFP) ‘You can have a rogue, terrible cop, on occasion like you do in any industry, any business, in any profession,’ Trump added. The American Civil Liberties Union’s Jeffery Robinson said in a statement that Trump’s comments were racist. ‘Trump’s racism is so absolute that he continues to refuse to give even a tacit acknowledgment to the epidemic of police violence against black people in America,’ he said.

Asked by CBS if that flag should be ‘taken down,’ Trump responded: ‘I know people that like the Confederate flag and they’re not thinking about slavery.’ He added: ‘It’s freedom of speech,’ whether the issue is the Confederate flag ‘or Black Lives Matter or anything else you want to talk about.’ Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk.
