... as in this article.

http://www.latimes.com/science/story/2019-08-15/police-shootings-are-a-leading-cause-of-death-for-black-men

All people die. No one is likely to die at the hands of the police at the rate described. Not white people. Not black people.

Apply the "low" white person death rate to the US as a whole. 1 in 2,500. There are approximately 330m US citizens. That would mean the police kill around 130,000 people every year. And a rate two and a half times that for black people. That is such baloney.

It is a difficult conversation. You don't need to throw gasoline onto it.
