Latinxs account for nearly half of the extrajudicial killings by police in California.
Implicit bias kills.
Blacks and Latinos were injured or killed by police officers in California in greater percentages than their share of the population, according to a state report released Wednesday on the use of force by police in 2017. A 2015 state law required officials to compile racial and ethnic information annually on police contact with civilians. Next year’s report will include data on individuals stopped by police in seven cities and counties, including San Francisco, and by the California Highway Patrol. The data in Wednesday’s report came from police organizations throughout the state, which were asked to disclose violent encounters with individuals. They cited incidents in 2017 involving 741 civilians, including 172 who were killed.
