Do you have any data on this? I mean, I know we get lots of sensationalized news stories about unarmed blacks being shot by cops, but that's not exactly an objective measure. Most of the FBI stats I've seen seem to indicate that blacks aren't actually disproportionately targeted by police in most jurisdictions, that unarmed whites are shot just as often, and that if anything cops are now *less* likely to shoot at a black suspect than a white suspect under identical circumstances because they're afraid of being the next Darren Wilson and the social pariah status that entails.
For it to be proportionate by population, there should be 5x unarmed white shootings per every unarmed black shooting, no?
