Quoted from guitarded:Again these Statistics are published and there for you to look at, objectively.
As for your assertion re. frequency of stops, you need to look further than mere #'s of interactions.
Based on published Federal Crime Statistics, there is a valid reason why Policing is more intense in certain Zip Codes :
These are where the Majority of Violent Crimes occur and where the Majority of calls for Police action/response are coming from. It is not nearly as cut and dry as simple numbers of stops and the respective race of the citizen / suspect stopped.
As for the assertions that one race is more likely to be on the receiving end of violent confrontation with Police, the numbers do not back this up. In fact, when you examine the numbers you will be surprised at the disparities occuring along racial lines. They are not what you think they are.
I still would love some examples, because I've googled a lot this morning and can't find any. I did however find a bunch of reports that support racial bias in policing.
Here is a report from the United States Commission on Civil Rights, an entity formed by Congress (https://www.usccr.gov/pubs/2018/11-15-Police-Force.pdf) which states:
"The best available evidence reflects high rates of uses of force nationally, with increased likelihood of police use of force against people of color, people with disabilities, LGBT people, people with mental health concerns, people with low incomes, and those at the intersection of these communities. "
I also found several analyses of the FBI use of force data, and they all found racial disparity:

In fact, in 2015 the director of the FBI gave a speech on "Hard Truths: Law Enforcement and Race". It doesn't call out specific statistics but acknowledges the problem.

Serious question, is there any data I can show you that would change your mind?
