How are you calculating this?

[cyberax]

Number of arrests divided by the number of deaths due to police shootings by race.

Arests: White - 5,335,610 Black - 1,992,510

Deaths due to police shootings (2018): White - 626 Black - 228

Or 1 in 8523 arrests for the Whites versus 1 in 8723 arrests for the Blacks.

Note though that there are around 6 times as many White people in the US, so Black people are about twice as likely to be arrested. That any given arrest is slightly safer for them is probably not really very reassuring to them.

That is true. However, that's simply because Black people in the US are statistically more likely to commit a crime.

Sad truth.
