[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3374696, member: 5800"] Here's the interesting thing about those numbers. I put them in Excel then just did a real simple conversion of them to express percentage of the total, and then put that side by side with the last demographic data from 2010: [img]https://i.imgur.com/UsgCKgd.jpg[/img] What's interesting is that using the Census data for percentages, 72.4% of America is white, but they are killed at about 40% of the total deaths 16.3% of America is Hispanic/Latino and they are killed at 16% 12.6% of America is Black and they are killed at 22% "Unknown/Other" is killed at about 20% *NOTE: The Census numbers add up to 116% due to the way the Census processes responses. So basically, if everyone was equal you'd expect them shot at equal rates --- whites at 72ish%, blacks at 12.6%, Latinos at 16.3% and so forth. But the hard numbers (without counting "other") show whites are nearly half as likely to get shot as a percentage of their group. Blacks are twice as likely. The only people getting shot per expectations are the Hispanic/Latino crowd. Point being that something is causing that departure from that "all things equal" expectation. There's lots of possible explanations for it, but just by the numbers the only group getting shot above expectations are the is the black community. [/QUOTE]
