You mean like an intrinsic “racial” violent crime rate? So one can compensate for police bias against a group in low crime areas as well; based on the nationwide violent crime rate of the group as a whole?
They adjusted based on the crime rate of the area where the shootings took place.
You decided to use the operative word "some" this time, interesting.
Unfortunately that doesn't really carry much weight, lets stick to linking thorough studies by experts and/or news articles/pieces from...
To understand the outrage/fear (besides the obvious), raw numbers of the dead alone are not going to get you there (much like terrorism or public executions/lynchings). The disparities in non-fatal uses of force (the study woolfe9998 linked) combined with frequent stops/searches (dateline...
This is why it would be helpful to have a national use-of-force database.
The news articles say to what study they are referring, also a lot of these studies are in pdf form which is inconvenient for some. Feel free to look them up though, that is why they cite them.
Not sure what you mean...
Without it your earlier claim is incorrect and your “overall statistical trend” does not bolster it, as such your post is irrelevant. See if you can figure out why.
That was first posted many pages ago, no shock you didn’t read it.

Study finds police fatally shoot unarmed black men at disproportionate rates
Off duty, black cops in New York feel threat from fellow police
I think it’s important to remember, Castile was able to successfully navigate at least 52 of these police interactions before being killed and Timothy Thomas for instance 11 in two months. At those frequencies, you’re only one off-day and one high-strung police officer away from death.

I’ve read that study (my previous post was actually written with it in mind) it fills in some of the missing pieces, it speaks to how individual police interactions compare to other individual police interactions. When taken in conjunction with other studies, it suggests that the...
All the evidence I've seen suggests high frequency harassment of black people (and likely other select groups), in an effort to fill quotas and/or find contraband. This results in disproportionate abuses and/or deaths of innocent black people, if not do to malice in any one interaction, then do...
That is what studies suggest.

Well if I did not understand your post/point correctly nor what it had to do with J.Wilkins post. Feel free to clarify it and explain how it relates to the J.Wilkins post you replied to.
