Police Killings Of Unarmed Americans By Race
As to the perception that unarmed blacks are killed more often by police than unarmed whites… I assumed that was true. I looked it up. It’s not true.
From 2016 to 2019, there were 208 killings of unarmed people by police. That’s an average of 52 per year. Of that group, 62 (about 30%) were black. 100 (48%) were white. Last year, there were 41 deaths of unarmed people by police. Of that group, 20 were white and 9 were black.
