I think they had better run those stats again. A gang member on the south side of Chicago slinging H on a rival gang's corner doesn't have a 97% chance of being killed by anyone of any race. I think I know what they are trying to say....but they aren't saying it.
Not sure its that far off, either. Using these stats https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u....f_vicitm_by_race_and_sex_of_offender_2013.xls which popped up during a cursory search (from 2013), Im seeing:
2491 Black or African American murder victims. 2245 were murdered by a Black or African American. That's just over 90%. Blacks murdered by whites come in at just under 7.6%. A murdered Black or AfAm in those statistics is nearly 12 times as likely to have been murdered by a Black or AfAm
It ain't 97%, but it ain't decimation either
