The study’s author, Dowin Boatright, assistant professor of emergency medicine at Yale, said that fatal police shootings of people of colour needs to be treated as a “public health emergency”. “Those killed by police on average are young people — the average age for all victims is 34,” Mr Boatright said when the study was released last year. “That officer doesn’t understand what he took from us.” Experts say despite the national picture in regard to police killings shifting very little, there have been strides made at the local level.
