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.


Black males make up 6% of the population but account for ~40% of murders yearly

Why don't they write a piece on how disproportinate that statistic is? Maybe that has something to do with it. They commit more violent crimes per capita

NY Times sucks at statistics

Because that's racist. Nothing is anyone's fault.
