Blacks are 13% of the population and account for 14% of the shootings.

his paper explores racial differences in police use of force. On non-lethal uses of force,blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of forcein interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilianbehavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities. On the most extreme use of force –officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextualfactors are taken into account.

Blacks are 13% of the population yet commit well over half the violent crimes and murders.

” Blacks are 13% of the population and account for 14% of the shootings. “

I posit that your numbers are way, WAY off, insanely wrong.

“There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups.

In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non­black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.”
