Directions: For the assignment this week, I think it is important for you to assess the issues surrounding police use of deadly force as they relate to race, as this is a heated contemporary issue. As a reminder, you should be using the data to support your position and only using opinion when expressly asked to do so. I highly suggest you use the following dataset: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings/Prompt: 1) How many people were killed by police in 2015? What are your reactions to this? 2) Which racial group was killed by police more in terms of total number? What are your reactions to this? 3) Is this the same race that experienced the highest disparity in being killed by the police? If not, which group is more likely to be killed by police and at what rate? What is your reaction to this? 4) Which racial group was killed more in terms of total number in instances where the suspect was armed? What are your reactions to this? 5) Is this the same race that experienced the highest disparity in being killed by the police when armed? If not, which group is more likely to be killed by police when armed and at what rate? 6) Which racial group was killed more in terms of total number in instances where the suspect was unarmed? What are your reactions to this? 7) Is this the same race that experienced the highest disparity in being killed by the police when unarmed? If not, which group is more likely to be killed by police when unarmed and at what rate? What is your reaction to this? 5) Were you surprised by any of the data? Why or why not?*If you use data outside of the Washington Post database provided, please indicate what you used.
