There are approx 48,000,000 blacks in the USA, and approx 16,000 homicides, if blacks account for half, that's 8000 not counting multiple murders by 1 person. How many of those 8000 out of 48,000,000 live in poverty? Hardly evidence of a group you say are prone to violence and enjoy violence.
Comparitively far more prone than other ethnicities. Anyway, it isn't just murders, but approx. 50% of all violent crime. That means assaults, armed robbery, non-fatal shootings and stabbings, etc.
Stats just might be tilted because of bias.

Interesting stats from the Innocence Project

Link

375 DNA exonerees to date

Demographics of the 375:
225 (60%) African American
117 (31%) Caucasian
29 (8%) Latin
2 (1%) Asian American
1 (<1%) Native American
1 (<1%) Self-identified “Other”

165: Actual assailants identified. Those actual perpetrators went on to be convicted of 152 additional violent crimes, including 83 sexual assaults, 36 murders, and 35 other violent crimes while the innocent sat behind bars for their earlier offenses.

If you think the stats are tilted, why don't you take a stroll through East St. Louis?

Apparently the woman has a history of mental illness. Any charges are deferred as they address that. She didn't look all that mentally stable.

A 19-year-old black man in Columbus, Ga, named Jayvon Hatchett, stabbed a white Auto Zone employee 7 times after "watching Facebook videos of police shootings". He admitted that he wanted to kill a "random white person" after watching the fake news media
