STUDY | POLICE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH
Police violence is a leading cause of death for young men in the United States according to a 2019 study. Over the life course, about 1 in every 1,000 black men can expect to be murdered by police. The risk isn't merely racial, however.
The risk of being killed by police peaks between the ages of 20 y and 35 y for men and women and for all racial and ethnic groups.
Black men are killed by police at a rate between 2.8 and 4.1 per 100,000,
American Indian and Alaska Native men are killed at a rate between 1.5 and 2.8 per 100,000,
Asian/Pacific Islander men are killed by police at a rate between 0.3 and 0.6 per 100,000,
Latino men at a rate between 1.4 and 2.2 per 100,000, and
White men at a rate between 0.9 and 1.4 per 100,000.
Do you support an organized gang mass murdering thousands of humans every year?
