And as far as deaths go, statistics show that those police impact all races equally. They have been posted on here many of times
If I’ve missed it, has information outside of 2019 (specific to shooting deaths) been cited in these arguments? I don’t think that there is a genuine openness to a different conclusion, but after a cursory Google search:
USA Today Article re: 2013-2019
quote:
MORE THAN 1,000 UNARMED people died as a result of police harm between 2013 and 2019, according to data from Mapping Police Violence. About a third of them were black. About 17% of the black people who died as a result of police harm were unarmed, a larger share than any other racial group and about 1.3 times more than the average of 13%.
2009-2019 Analysis Article
quote:
Victims were majority white (52%) but disproportionately black (32%) with a fatality rate 2.8 times higher among blacks than whites. Most victims were reported to be armed (83%); however, black victims were more likely to be unarmed (14.8%) than white (9.4%) or Hispanic (5.8%) victims.
PBS Article re: 2013-2018 Analysis
quote:
According to a study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, over the course of a lifetime, black men face a one in 1,000 risk of being killed during an encounter with police, a rate much higher than that of white men.
...
Black men and boys face the highest risk of being killed by police–at a rate of 96 out of 100,000 deaths. By comparison, white men and boys face a lower rate of 39 per 100,000 deaths, despite being a bigger portion of the U.S. population.

What about stats on run ins with police?

Being killed by a cop trends with committing violent crimes for all races. It's not a coincidence.

Those studies aren’t properly normalized.

You are using "cherry-picked" stats which indicates your dishonesty. Black males are about 6% of the population, 49% of murders are committed by 6% (black males) of the population. Unarmed means "not in their hands.) That stat does not account for the gun being on the seat/glove box, etc. while the suspect is reaching for it. Also, if someone is being told by the police to keep their hands on the wheel and they disobey and reach for the glove box/center console, what should the officer do? Wait for the gun to come out, thus putting his/her life in grave danger? Statistics without proper analysis are useless and dangerous (especially in your possession). This narrative about police racism is completely made up in an effort to incite unrest and violence. Higher rates/percentages of police interactions of blacks with the police are directly related to the data which shows victim identification of blacks as the perpetrator. You should try doing better research rather than a lazy reading of USA Today/NPR left-wing publications.
