In this graph from David Murphy cities
are rated with % based on racial make up of the population that
is represented by their police force. This graph shows just how much
white police officer over represent minority city populations. This is
important because in several
recent events, race issues have reignited the flame of the long hatred between
of the blacks and the whites in the US. Most recently the death of Eric Garner
raised the question are police using unnecessary force towards minorities such
as the choke hold that was used to restrain Mr. Garner.
