Why are so many unarmed Black men murdered by the police?
user
Racial disparities in policing, as well as implicit and explicit racial bias within the criminal justice system contribute to unarmed Black men being murdered by police at disproportionate rates compared to other racial groups. Historical laws and policies such as Jim Crow, redlining and mass incarceration have resulted in disparities in access to education, economic resources and political power for African Americans which has created systemic barriers to equality under law. Moreover, implicit bias among some police officers contributes to excessive force against black people. This has led to deadly consequences for many unarmed African American men.

Unarmed Black men are more likely to be killed by police due to systemic racism and the use of excessive force. Police are less likely to recognize or respect the rights of people who are perceived as non-compliant or who they incorrectly view as a threat, leading to the wrongful death of numerous unarmed Black men.
