After all that, factor in that white people make up OVER HALF of the US population & black people only make up 13-15% 🥴 https://twitter.com/wealth_theory/status/1267079172788232192
That makes the number of black people killed by cops extremely disproportionate because we have far less of a population in this country.

More black people are killed per capita. White people’s number is only bigger cuz they’re majority of the entire American population.
Just like they commit the most crimes by default because they’re the biggest population in this country.

Stats are more than just numbers you see on a graph or chart. You actually have to do the work to understand them. 🤷🏽‍♀️
