Straight population is a pretty crappy metric for that, because you have to look at who the police are interacting with more (i.e. number of encounters). I would further break that down by the number of encounters for violent and non-violent crimes. Your odds of getting shot/killed are going to increase if you are involved in more violent crimes.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

So there's something inherent in a person's skin color that makes them more or less prone to violence?

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

Don't know what happened with my math, maybe need more coffee this morning. But good news, right, African Americans are only about 2.5x more likely to be killed by police than a white person.

Re: Proud of our coaching staff and team
Nope. The thought is that there IS a problem, it’s just not necessarily that cops are hunting down people of color. There are other inequities that lead to people of color being more frequently on the other end of the police response. In other words in my ignorant opinion, higher frequency of blacks dying at the hands of LE is a symptom, not the sickness itself.
