That makes them 2.5 times more likely than white men and boys to die during an encounter with cops.

Does this study include the per capita rate each race encounters cops? and what is considered an encounter with police? Attending Citizens Police Academy, Being questioned for a crime, seeing cop drive thru neighborhood, being arrested, meeting police at neighborhood watch meetings, confrontations with police, inspection/registration check points, speeding, and so on. The type of encounters and per capita rate of these encounters has to be factored in any comparison of deaths in these encounters.
