Based on proportional/per capita numbers (per 100,000)...you are absolutely correct.

At a rate of 2-1/2 times as many...as a matter of fact.

Some folks want to trick you based on pure numbers, not taking into account blacks make up a much smaller %...of the total population.

They're sneaky liars like that.

To show it's already been proved once.

Total numbers mean absolutely nothing, unless the sole, sneaky intent...is to obfuscate and deceive.

Per 100,000 is a much more accurate measurement.


Imbalance by ethnic group (poke here)

Quote:

The results paint a picture of definite disparity when it comes to race and police shootings. Although more white people are shot in total, people from minority ethnic groups are shot at higher rates by population. One paper published in August found that a black man is 2.5 times more likely than a white man to be killed by the police during his lifetime.
