In officer-involved shootings in these cities, officers were more likely to fire their weapons without having first been attacked when the suspects were white. Black and white civilians involved in police shootings were equally likely to have been carrying a weapon. Both of these results undercut the idea that the police wield lethal force with racial bias.

This guy is doing the job the Attorney General's Office has been tasked with since freakin' 1994. This information shouldn't have to be chased down. This information should be at everyone's finger-tips.
