Dr. Frank Edwards from Rutgers University led a study that found Police violence is a leading cause of death of young men in the United States with black men 2.5 times more likely to be killed by law enforcement over their lifetime than white men. He said “That 1-in-1,000 number struck us as quite high. That’s better odds of being killed by police than you have of winning a lot of scratch-off lottery games.” What do you think can be done to help lower these disgusting statistics?
