Soapbox rant: ...black male teens are 21 times more likely to be killed by police than white ones. Ok, how did they determine that? “The 1,217 deadly police shootings from 2010 to 2012 captured in the federal data show that blacks, age 15 to 19, were killed at a rate of 31.17 per million, while just 1.47 per million white males in that age range died at the hands of police.. Alright.... To arrive at this statistic, ProPublica analyzed the list of 12,000 police shooting deaths that were self-reported by agencies to the Federal Bureau of Investigation between 1980 and 2012. Because this data is self-reported and departments are not required to submit information, this data likely significantly undercounts the number of shootings. Florida departments, for example, haven’t submitted data since 1997 and New York City hasn’t submitted data since 2007. THEN YOU JUST ADMITTED THE DATA YOU PRESENTED IS INACCURATE. Thats like me saying In the fall semester I ate Chipotle three times more often than Momma Gs on Wednesdays but I only counted Sunday through Thursday and only during the months of August through November. IT MEANS NOTHING.
