re: USA Today: "Black people are three times likelier to be killed in police chases"

quote:

---

Blacks have been killed at a disproportionate rate in pursuits every year since 1999. On average, 90 black people were killed each year in police chases, nearly double what would be expected based on their percentage of the population.

The number of crimes committed by blacks is much higher than would be expected based on their percentage of the population.

quote:

---

Deadly pursuits of black drivers were twice as likely to start over minor offenses or non-violent crimes. In 2013 and 2014, nearly every deadly pursuit triggered by an illegally tinted window, a seat-belt violation or the smell of marijuana involved a black driver.

Maybe they shouldn't run form the police when stopped for a minor offense.
