I'm not in anything over this. You're the one that seems wound up. I'm


just trying to have a discussion about what the stats say. Yes, I did miss the 17% vs. 13% in the article. Those numbers line up almost exactly with what I posted. Black share of arrests = 27%, black share of all fatal shootings = 28% (I saw other stats which had it exactly at 27%... but 27% vs. 28% is pretty much in proportion either way) and black share of unarmed fatal shootings = 33%. So unarmed shootings seem to be somewhat disproportionate... but against a small sample size (the disproportion in unarmed shootings results in 4 extra unarmed shootings per year) and using statistics that have little standardization in reporting (the armed vs. unarmed stats seem "loose" at best).
