10 major police departments from Texas California and Florida
I heard it on a 2020 Sam Harris podcast entitled "Can we pull back from the brink?"
He also admits the data is incomplete and it's only looking at three states.
But also cites another study:
"The best data we have suggest that, for whatever reason, whites are more likely to be killed by cops once an arrest is attempted. A more recent study in the proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences by David Johnson and colleagues found similar results."
