>If I'm wrong correct me, I know only %10 of americans are black. Why %34 of shooted suspects are black? Does it show your polices see blackmen more suspected, doesn't it?
It is slightly higher - almost 13% according to
http://www.census.gov/prod/2001pubs/c2kbr01-5.pdf in
total population. However, the percentage in cities can be much higher. Crime rates in cities are also higher than the overall average.
To say that police target blacks is totally wrong.
