By contrast, black males are particularly far above the line, indicating that they’re fatally shot by police much more often than you’d expect based on their numbers in the population.


Statistics NEVER gives you an answer. At best it give you another question.

So, what are the other variables?

Well, if you are a violent black lawbreaking male (2-3% of the total population) and you are perpetrating 40% of all violent crime (Murder, rape, armed robbery, etc.) then is it any surprise you are shot by police at a higher rate than other demographics?

Statistics for idiots.

We need to equalize these numbers. Any woman caught speeding should be shot.

Scales seem to be linear; not logarithmic. What say you?
