> the likely reason for their disproportionate encounters with Police is their disproportionate socio-economic situation Seems odd to omit the more direct cause - disproportionate homicide and violent crime rates [1] - and skip to socio-economics as the reason for police encounters. Especially since the black homicide rate is ~10x higher even compared with the same income brackets [2]. [1] African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites 41.1% - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_S...
