Aren’t more white people than black people killed by police? Yes, but no

> Because detailed FBI data on crime can lag by several years, the most-cited statistics on this point refer to 2009 data. According to that data, out of all violent crimes in which someone was charged, black Americans were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the country’s 75 biggest counties — despite the fact that black Americans made up just 15 percent of the population in those places.

The statistics would probably be roughly similar if "black" was replaced with "poor" in that, because there is a significant correlation between race and wealth in the United States. Yet I've not seen any article that analyzed how police shootings vary across wealth groups. Without such analysis, I doubt a useful understanding of police shootings is possible.
