Black people have lower chances to be shot during a police interaction than White people.
- tzs 2y agoHow are you calculating this?
- cyberax 2y agoNumber of arrests divided by the number of deaths due to police shootings by race. Arests: White - 5,335,610 Black - 1,992,510 Deaths due to police shootings (2018): White - 626 Black - 228 Or 1 in 8523 arrests for the Whites versus 1 in 8723 arrests for the Blacks.
- tzs 2y agoNote though that there are around 6 times as many White people in the US, so Black people are about twice as likely to be arrested. That any given arrest is slightly safer for them is probably not really very reassuring to them.
- cyberax 2y agoThat is true. However, that's simply because Black people in the US are statistically more likely to commit a crime. Sad truth.
