OH SHIT. BLM isn't going to like what I just found out.
I used ONLY publicly available information; including census data, arrest records, federal resources, and independent sources to find this out.
White people and black people have fatal police shootings at the SAME RATE as each other compared to their arrests. That means, if you get arrested, you have an equal chance of being shot by police, REGARDLESS of being black or white.
You read that right.
If you get arrested and WHITE, you have an 11.33 per 100,000 arrests of being shot by the police.
If you get arrested and BLACK, you have a 10.75 per 100,000 arrests of being shot by the police.
You are equivalently equal (if not slightly less) likely; black or white.
These numbers are averaged over 2015 through 2018. Data is incomplete for 2019, and 2020 isn't over.
