Police stops

The police make on average 50 million contacts per year resulting in 10 million arrest. Of these about 100,000 result in some form of confrontation. This results in about 1,000 shooting deaths per year. "the Washington Post’s database of fatal police shootings showed 14 unarmed Black victims and 25 unarmed white victims in 2019". This is a spike since over the past 20 years 160 unarmed Black men have been killed by police or 8 per year. Here is the data going back to 1968. https://www.reneeater.com/on-monuments-blog/tag/list+of+unarmed+black+people+killed+by+police Contrast that with the fact that each year 6,000 black men are killed by 6,000 black men.
