Police Violence Against Latinos: The Shocking Data, Revealed

Season 1 Episode 147 | 26m 46s

You wouldn’t know it from the data, but Latinos are the second most likely demographic to be killed by law enforcement in the U.S, relative to their population. We only have these statistics now thanks to the work of La Raza Database Research Project, a group of volunteers in Southern California who are bringing awareness to systematic police violence against the Latino population.
