The actual study is behind a paywall.

Found a free link to the study with a quick Google Scholar search.

The average lifetime odds of being killed by police are about 1 in 2,000 for men and about 1 in 33,000 for women.

I demand equality and equity between the sexes!

And it appears as the 1 in 1000 number is a "lifetime odds" thing, not a mortality rate like the 3.4 out of 100,000 number in the chart is.



Edit to add: I'm not hip to social science publications, but why the hell is the Materials and Methods section the last thing in the body, after the results and discussion? Is that a way to have people stop reading the paper before picking it apart for it's questionable methodology?
