FWIW for all deaths caused by confrontations with the police, 50% are white men. Yet, whites are 76% and blacks 13% of the US population, which indicates that blacks are several times more likely to be killed by police on a per-capita basis than whites. No that is incorrect, they are not more likely.* That statistic only skews the appearance that blacks are more likely to be killed, which they are not. Every case is a new case so the likelihood starts over.* Blacks may be more likely to be confronted by police, not killed. I don't have time to look it up, but I'd be pretty certain the conditional probability of being seriously injured or killed given being stopped is higher for those of color. -- I thought the same but a Harvard professor of color conducted a study on this and was surprised that of those killed, when there is an altercation with a police officer, 50% were white and 26% were black, IIRC. I have seen this reference stated multiple times and never by a white person. The media blows this all out of proportion. "The media blows this all out of proportion." No, say it ain't so! This MUST be an accident. |
