Black/African Americans are 4.5 times more likely to have a fatal encounter with the police than Asian Americans. by HitchHux

Need to also compare it to the crimes committed by each race, as you are more likely to get shot if you are committing a crime.

Just imagine if non violet people were shot at 4.5 times the violent people, the police would be disbanded years ago

That makes sense, because African Americans commit more crimes than Asian Americans, according to FBI statistics.

Making more money doesnt really mean you'll have more deductions. There arent too many deductions someone who isnt close to retirement would likely be taking. If you have student loans, alimony, and a mortgage, or also some kids, then it could add up, but you dont have to be making a lot of money for most of those to be true. Even with some mortgages with the low interest rates until recently, the standard deduction may be more in some cases.

It's obvious what's going on; Racism.

Just imagine if it was rich people being shot at 4.5 times the rest of the population! The police would have been disbanded years ago.

It ruins his narrative to adjust for "per violent crime committed"

Does it count if the person had a toy, or a phone, and the police claim the victim was armed?
