We absolutely cannot use stats on suspects, who are chosen by police, to demonstrate that there is no police bias in use of force.
- d1sxeyes 3y agoI wasn’t, and to be clear, I was making absolutely no comment on whether there is bias in the use of force or not. I was instead saying the OP is likely reasonable to infer from the data that Black men are disproportionately likely to be involved in homicides. While it is of course possible that suspects are wrongly accused, victims’ ethnicities should be fairly clear.
- wpietri 3y agoThat's not what the OP said. He said, "And they're committing ~50% of homicides and shootings."
