A week after Piers Morgan published a column about African Americans using the N-word, he released another about the Michael Brown shooting, stating American's do not know how many civilians are being shot and killed by police officers every year.
In his latest column, Morgan lists the many different statistics accounting for American deaths.
"Lightning killed 23 people in America during 2013. In the same year, 53 people died from shark attacks, and eight from incidents involving fireworks. But how many times did police shoot people in the United States last year?"
Morgan goes on to say the number of Americans dying at the hands of police officers is unknown, stating "President Obama can't tell you either. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Morgan received negative criticism after publishing an article where he said if African Americans would stop using the N-word, white people would stop using it too, Jezebel.com reported.
Sites like Jezebel seemed to agree with the fact the number of Americans dying at the hands of police officers is unknown, but that Morgan is no one to comment on that fact.
"This is not to say that a non-American cannot or should not weigh in on issues in this country, but you certainly shouldn't. You're not a trusted or popular voice in America. Your opinions hold no weight" Jezebel reported.
According to Morgan, President Obama does not know how many Americans die at the hands of police officers because there is no federal database recording every time a U.S. policeman shoots someone, according to the Daily Mail.
"Only 750 law enforcement agencies contribute, out of a total of more than 18,000 agencies in the country," Morgan wrote of the agencies who participate in a FBI database, which Morgan deems "useless."
Morgan reports that states like Florida, where stand your ground laws are in effect, do not participate, and other high crime cities like New York hasn't reported one since 2006, the Daily Mail reported.
"There can be only one logical reason why there is so little information publicly available on police shootings - the U.S. government simply doesn't want anyone to know how many there are," Morgan writes.
