Well, considering twice as many white people are killed by cops as black people, it stands to reason that cops have a higher chance of being convicted.



in 2015 more unarmed black people were killed by police. This was raw numbers not rate.


In 2016, 99% of those shocked to death by tasers were white men (19 out of 20 IIRC). In 2015, 50% of those shocked to death by taser were black men. Black suspects went from being significantly overrepresented in this stat to be vastly underrepresented the next year. You can't draw any conclusions from such small sample sizes.

that tells me that police are more likely to taze white people, not shoot them >_>


They were more likely to taze black people the year before.
