Let's just kind of look at the totals here, which, by the way, they are down this year, remarkably, but still. 245 people shot and killed. 1,121 people shot and wounded. 1,366 people shot, Mr. Johnson, with 293 homicides. In just the month of August, 39 people were shot and killed. 208 people were shot and wounded. 247 people were total shot with 43 homicides. The vast majority of this were black people shooting black people. Just so we are clear, it's not white people that are shooting black people. (11:47–11:56)
