Per capita, you're not correct.

Take this bootlicker garbage somewhere else, any way we can get a ban?

I am not sure you understand “per capita” . The numbers are actual counts nationwide. If you want to measure a subset like race, raw numbers show white people are twice as likely to be killed by police than blacks. As a representation of percentage of race whites are at 50% of killed to 50% of population, but blacks are twice as likely to be killed by police when compared to whites at 26% killed to 13% of population. If you consider that black males represent 7% of the population yet commit 54% of violent crimes the statistic should be 54% to 7% of the population. So per capita, you are almost 8 times more likely to be killed by a cop if you are white instead of black.

The title isn't well crafted for that. I agree with your point and the per capita is hugely relevant though.

The smallest population group description I can find that is responsible for a majority rhymes with Wack People.
