10M people arrested every year and some 1000 killings reported. Of those 1000, WaPo found 6% involved white cops shooting unarmed blacks. That's 60 people, out of 10M arrests. And that's maybe 60% of cases of unarmed blacks being killed by cops - which suggests minority cops (that make up a smaller % o the police force) are more likely to shoot unarmed blacks. So if racism is the reason for this - rather than poor training and improper procedure - then the only conclusion is black cops are at least as racist as their white colleagues.
the chart doesn't say who they were killed by
