... Think about it. How does higher levels of crime among black Americans explain why more unarmed black Americans are killed by police? Think about it ...
- esyir 6y agoSimple. Assuming that unarmed shooting rate is a proportion of police calls, more crime directly results on more calls and thus more shootings.
- bjourne 6y agoI don't see how you get from point A to point B. More police calls means that more perpetrators get shot, perhaps, but why would it mean that more unarmed people get killed?
