@samswey More relevant data: black kids' schools are garbage (due to school board, imo), especially public districtpic.twitter.com/zbKUt2OlEl

how is this more relevant to the police shooting yesterday in Milwaukee?
-
1. Whys more important than whats. 2. Violence and security always in tension; giving kids tools to succeed conflicts with little.

Riot after Sherman Park's whole year of tension...for the 30th year running. In interviews, police violence 1 factor among several.

Comparing the simple census demographics to fatal shootings by police doesn't indicate who encounters the police more.
-
you missed my tweets citing studies showing police use more force against blacks after controlling for number of encounters.
-
Fine, then compare that and adjust relative to the crime rate. Or better yet, homicides. What relevance does the census have?
