Police Shoot a Lot More People Than Previously Known

" Twenty percent of the African Americans tallied were shot following "relatively innocuous pedestrian or traffic stops," which was true for just 16 percent of whites shot by police. Those figures are of particular importance considering that studies find black drivers are more likely to be stopped by cops based on less evidence, less likely than their white peers to be spoken to respectfully during those stops, and more likely to be ticketed and arrested than white drivers.
