“Racial bias in police use of lethal force appears to be a real and pronounced phenomenon with dire consequences… Bolstering this evidence is the finding that, in 10 known incidents of off-duty officers being fatally shot by on-duty officers, 9 … were Black or Hispanic."

“Pervasive stereotypes linking Blacks and Latinos with violence, crime, and even specifically weapons are likely to cause [police] to make misattributions in…the intentions and behaviors of citizens. This can lead to racially disparate rates of…arrests and use of force."

“Police officers have been shown to possess implicit associations of race and crime and to exhibit spontaneous discriminatory behavior… There is little if any room for doubt that implicit stereotypes of race and crime influence police officers' decisions."

8 of the 10 off-duty officers killed by another officer due to mistaken identity were Black.
