"And police have continued to shoot and kill a disproportionately large number of black males, who account for nearly a quarter of the deaths, yet are only 6 percent of the nation’s population."

I always find it interesting when media outlets compare the number of black males shot against their percentage of representation in the general population as opposed to comparing it to the percentage of blacks who are criminals.  Hmmm..I wonder if that's because there wouldn't be any gap at all, if they did.  Nawwww...there's no way today's media outlets would cherry pick the stats at hand to make a point....nawwwww....
