re: LA Times: Getting shot by police is a leading cause of death for U.S. black men

Another example of how nonsense grows legs and takes off...
The posted graphic clearly states that these are annual mortality rates per 100,000 deaths for black men between 25 and 29.
Police use of force is 7th on that list, with a rate of 3.4 per 100,000 deaths.
So headline is technically accurate in that it's "a leading cause of death", as long as you count the top 7 spots, but it's misleading and stupid.

Even that data is highly questionable. All the other causes of death are from 2015. The researcher is using his own mysterious data from 2013-2018, then averaging it out and shoehorning it into real scientific data.

So “death by anal invasion” could be number 9 on the list with only 3 cases out of 100000 and we could call it an epidemic in the black community?
