Abstract

Introduction
Violent encounters with police represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the USA, especially among Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC). This study characterises trends in fatal police shootings overall and by armed status and quantifies inequities in mortality burden and years of life lost (YLL) across racial/ethnic groups.

Methods

Longitudinal study of Washington Post data on fatal police shootings in the USA using generalised linear-mixed models to capture trends with time and relative rates.

Results

This study shows that the rate of fatal police shootings for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) is constant from 2015 to 2020. Further, BIPOC have significantly higher death rates compared with Whites in the overall victim pool (Native American RR=3.06, Black RR=2.62, Hispanic RR=1.29) and among unarmed victims (Black RR=3.18, Hispanic RR=1.45). Native American (RR=3.95), Black (overall RR=3.29, unarmed RR=3.49) and Hispanic (RR=1.55, unarmed RR=1.55), victims had similarly high rates of YLL relative to Whites.

Conclusion

 Fatal police shootings are a public health emergency that contribute to poor health for BIPOC. Urgent attention from health professionals is needed to help drive policy efforts that reduce this unjust burden and move us towards achieving health equity in the US.

---New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Vice President Kamala Harris’ comments on immigration "disappointing" on Monday, after Harris said during a press conference that migrants looking to cross the U.S. border should not come---

OK catfight between the looney fringe and the prez, hit in the face with the immigration crisis.

And out of ammo blaming Trump.

Whoa!

Deja vu!

I tend to post before I've looked all down the thread.   Trying to do that less,  save some keystrokes when someone else has already covered the same point.

I posted a link to the SCOTUS choice to ignore the male only draft issue in a different discussion group about 20 hours ago.

Seven 30-something folks have been batting it around since then, from many different perspectives, with disagreements and conflicts of opinions and backgrounds.

They've been positing together (along with another 100 or so) for nearly 20 years.

There have been no insults. No name-calling. No personal attacks or references by others to the home lives of their fellow posters. No innuendo.

Nor were they always so harmonious - there was plenty of vitriol spilled in the past. They've moved past it.

More than 120 comments exchanged so far.

Is this really beyond us?!

I refuse to engage with UNO and gave my reasons. I’m gonna practice this from now on.

Just heard some ass crack on MSNBC that had a problem with whiteness on Long Island because she saw a bunch of anti Biden stickers and...wait for it...

American flags.

An interesting analysis of the numbers.

So, in other words, they're a bunch of pussies.
