Trump's missive is drawing scrutiny

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump retweeted an image Sunday that compares black-on-black murders to police killings.

Trump's @realDonaldTrump Twitter account highlighted a photograph featuring a dark-skinned man wearing a bandana, a dark shirt and military-style pants and holding a handgun sideways and claiming to list 2015 crime statistics.

It includes six lines. Two of them: "BLACKS KILLED BY POLICE ~~ 1%" and "BLACKS KILLED BY BLACKS ~~ 97%."

The figures Trump retweeted overstate the number of homicides committed by blacks. It also doesn't appear that the "Crime Statistics Bureau - San Francisco" that Trump's retweet referenced exists. It's not the name of a government agency.

According to FBI statistics, of the 2,451 homicides of black people in 2014, 90% were committed by black people, while 8% of the offenders were white.
