In 2023, Black people were killed at a rate 2.6 times higher than white people, Mapping Police Violence found. Last year, 290 people killed by police were Black, making up 23.5% of victims, while Black Americans make up roughly 14% of the total population. Native Americans were killed at a rate 2.2 times greater than white people, and Latinos were killed at a rate 1.3 times greater.
Black and brown people have also consistently been more likely to be killed while fleeing. From 2013 to 2023, 39% of Black people who were killed by police had been fleeing, typically either running or driving away. That figure is 35% for Latinos, 33% for Native Americans, 29% for white people and 22% for Asian Americans.
To answer the question:
Oh man, idk. Maybe if 98% of these pigs wouldn’t get away with murdering people, there wouldn’t be that many cases of murdering people in the police force.
Seriously tho. IF I would be a complete fucking psychopath who wants to kill people I would just join the American Police…which might explain the pedos in churches.
Ooooh hey hold on now that’s PROGRESS. It used to be 3x as likely. Down a whole .4. That’s 13% less bad!!! (Please ignore to be more even police had to kill more people.)
But yeah uh, this shit getting titled “violence” as if it’s not talking about murder is wild.
Ah, I didn’t even realize this headlines a bit clickbaity, I’ll excerpt this up top
