@realcaseyrollins Trying to use raw numbers to say that Whites suffer more violence is inaccurate.

I as a Black person am 2.135 times more likely to suffer police violence than my White neighbor, even though neither of us (to my knowledge) commits crimes.

If you have not taken statistics courses, please put those on your plate for next year. It is possible to have true figures (and statements) and be completely wrong because you're measuring the wrong thing.

In this case, raw numbers are the wrong thing to measure.

@lnxw37a2 "I as a Black person am 2.135 times more likely to suffer police violence than my White neighbor, even though neither of us (to my knowledge) commits crimes."

What are you basing that 2.135 stat on? You can find plenty of numbers that show that black people have more violent interaction with police, but that's largely because so many of them are poor and as a consequence end up committing more crimes where police get involved, and isn't necessarily an indicator of racism.

So if you're saying you're over 2x as likely to be a victim compared to a white in your neighborhood, this is based on a neighborhood-level analysis, right? @realcaseyrollins
