If we use the absolute numbers we’ll see that more white people are killed than any other race. Why? They comprise around 60% of the population. African Americans make up for about 12%. Not taking demographics into account is misleading. #Python #BlackLivesMatter

You can check out @KFF to see the population distribution in the US by race/ethnicity. https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/distribution-by-raceethnicity/
You’d expect the president of the US to understand how rates work in this situation: Police Victims / Size of the population among which the deaths occured. We multiply that by 1 million and… #Python #BlackLivesMatter

Conclusions: maybe don’t say something dumb when all eyes are on you and any random guy like me can go and prove you wrong with data because he thinks it’s fun? #Python
Check out http://mappingpoliceviolence.org for more info. That’s where I got my data from. It’s an amazing project that sheds more light on the situation. #BlackLivesMatter
