[QUOTE="Fenris, post: 3076085, member: 35081"] It is a limited study but was a response to a direct question on whites not being shot without provocation. To move beyond that study to more general number and a larger sample size, crime statistics show that African Americans are disproportionally shot by police as a percentage of the population but that as a percentage of police interactions, whites are more likely to be shot. If you are black, you are more likely to have interactions with the police but once you are in an interaction with the police, you are more likely to be shot if you are white. The political divisions in this country are helping to mask that a sub-set of police are prone to violence and that the real issue in regards to race and police is not solely that blacks are being shot but are more involved with police interactions.
