But your quote, with its figures, basically proves that police kill black people at a higher rate than they are present in the population. If they were shooting people in accordance with census figures, about 13 percent of those shootings would be black people, and about 65 percent white, with the balance other ethnicities and/or mixed.

Think about it. The RATE of AA killings is higher. Whites are about 5/6 times the population of AA. Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2016 #7

This statement is a lie... pipoman Sep 2016 #8

Rate is very important and has everything to do with it. Jesse Williams is correct. Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2016 #10

"Williams is correct" I'm done. It is a lie and there isn't any other honest interpretation. pipoman Sep 2016 #11
