Why, yes. There is a pattern to who gets "mugshotted" even when a victim—and who does not even when convicted.pic.twitter.com/EUVINDzgAL

Does a sociology or communication graduate student or professor want to team up with a data scientist to do this? —>https://twitter.com/chris_m_stewart/status/739923991230447616 …

Look, the mugshot debate isn't just about availability. Not when some murder *victims* get represented by mugshots.https://twitter.com/tparsi/status/740175790797623296 …

Research says people see guns in black hands where there are none but miss ones in white hands. Lifetime of imagery. Representation matters.
One of my examples of a victim above may be a driver's license pic. Even then, not okay. Friends said he was athlete, many pics available.
So, yes images are not equally available. That process is tainted too. You're a journalist. Do your job. Go find an appropriate picture.
Representation isn't a magic cure to racism. But a lifetime of exposure to black men as menacing—even when murdered—has *real* consequences.
From unequal rates of conviction to how often shot by police to if hired to being disciplined in kindergarten. Representation underlies it.
Journalists, when you are deciding whether to use a mugshot: images helped "train" the officer who killed 12-year old Tamir Rice. Do better.

Also: "Findings show that darker images were more frequent in negative ads—especially those linking Obama to crime."https://twitter.com/natematias/status/740190796771696640 …
