Unarmed racial subordinates are killed by police at rates far exceeding their population share

Evidence

Compared to dominants, and everything else being equal, not only are subordinates disproportionately likely to be stopped, detained, and arrested by the police, but unarmed subordinates are disproportionately likely to be killed by the police. For example, according to the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Report, while subordinates (i.e., Blacks and Latinos) constitute 37.4 percent of the American population, they constitute 62.7 percent of the unarmed victims of police use of lethal force (see Lopez, 2018a). — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 68
