[OC] Fatal Police Shootings in the US: Racial disparities. In absence of racial differences, the probability of fatal police encounters would be the same across racial groups. It is not. Black/African Americans are 4.5 times more likely to have a fatal encounter with the police than Asian Americans.Submitted by HitchHux t3_11dj069 in dataisbeautiful

Their population is so small that any activity results in a much higher average. Also why it has so much variation

It does have a lot of variance I agree, but it has been consistently very high though. Doesn’t seem like it’s just due to a small sample

True, that's certainly not the only factor.
