A rough average of 500 police caused deaths per year across 20 years. It spikes and drops by significant amounts by year, but that's a reasonable ballpark average and is near The Guardian's number.
Now break out how many were unjustified uses of force.
Now break out how many were not white (nearly half the people killed by cops are white).
You're talking about maybe 40 or 50 unarmed minorities shot dead by police each year, out of around 140 million total minorities (40% minority base, plus 12 million minorities that aren't citizens). And this is in a country with police that are clearly too violent.
Your odds of being murdered by police, as an unarmed minority, is about one in 2.5 to 3 million. To pretend unarmed minorities are being regularly shot dead by police is beyond ridiculous.
Well, that's nonsense.
