More statistics that show fatal shootings are down!

But this break it up by race:

https://thesocietypages.org/toolbox/police-killing-of-blacks/

Quote:Data collected by the Washington Post on the use of lethal force by police officers in 2015, 2016, and 2017 indicate that, relative to the portion of the population, Blacks are over-represented among all those killed by police under all circumstances. As is evident in Figure 1 below, (looking at the bottom blue bar) according to the US Census estimates of 2015 (the most recent available), Blacks made up 13% of the population. However, in 2015 they accounted for 26% of those that were killed by police, in 2016, 24%, and in 2017, 22% of all those killed by police. In other words, Blacks were the victims of the lethal use of force by police at nearly twice their rate in the general population. Whites make up the plurality of victims of police use of lethal force (45% in 2017), BUT they also make the majority of the population (62% in 2015). (Stay tuned for a discussion of comparisons to crime rates rather than general population proportion)

Again, just trying to answer Michael's query.
