White people make up 62% of the US population. Black people only account for 13% of the same population, or nearly 5 white persons per every single black person in society. Of all the people shot and killed by police, White people are shot by police in 49% of incidents. A 13% difference then the expected result. White should be shot more, if they were being shot was in proportion to their numbers in the makeup of the population. Black’s are shot and killed by police 24% of the time, an 11% difference from their percentage of the population if they were in proportion. In fact, black people are almost shot twice as much as their population numbers would indicate. This is a significant difference. Whites are killed by police less than their proportion of the population would indicate and blacks are overly targeted by police.
13% of all black people who are shot and killed by police are unarmed. Compared that to only 7% of whites being unarmed when shot by police. Again twice as many black are killed while unarmed as a white person would be. In relation to their respective population numbers, blacks are 10 times more likely to be shot and killed while unarmed as a white person would be.
Of all people shot and killed by police in 2015, 40% were black men, who only make up 6% of the total population. What is clear is that a disproportionate amount of blacks, men and women are killed then their population numbers would indicate. This is a problem. This is why a movement such as Black Lives Matters is needed to foster better training and better inter community relations in order to meet, debunk and socialise police officers to the black community. In my personal opinion, Blacks are demonized as dangerous criminals in the mind of law enforcement. Therefore, maximum precaution must be taken, and that action that done by a white person would be excused, done by someone who happens to have colour in their skin will result in a death sentence. By training officers better, familiarizing them with blacks who happen to be the most often target of black crime, police might build stronger community relations and bridge the gap to those communities. Also, this is not longer a desire, a request or an optional. All police need to have body cameras upon themselves. The camera never lies, and to show the public, what happened in the event of a police shooting will do wonders to help bridge the gap. Black people, just as white people, can see if an officer is in danger and forced to defend him or herself. It is the unknowing that causes the distrust. Show the videos fast and get them out into the media faster will prevent issues from arising in the communities affected in a police shooting. For when people can see the video, they can put themselves in the place of the police forced to kill someone. They will then make up their own mind if it was justified or not. Too often, those videos are held back cause mistrust, if the video cleared the officer why is it not being presented? There is also usually no good answer why there is a delay in showing the video.
