Report: Police shot Tamir Rice in less than 2 seconds, yet take nearly 4 minutes to call paramedics. So quick to kill, so slow to aid.

Staff disciplined after jailed Florida teen’s death #AndreSheffield

July of 2011, 18-year-old Eric Perez died of a cerebral hemorrhage, records said, after a guard dropped him on his head during horseplay — and other staff failed to act as the teen’s condition worsened. One guard, a report said, was convinced Perez was “faking it.” He told a colleague it was not worth the required paperwork to send Perez to a hospital. Perez’s death, like that of Omar Paisley, prompted an agency housecleaning: Nine employees were fired, including the lockup superintendent.

Unarmed Black People Twice as Likely to Be Killed by Cops As White People, Says Report

By Michael Nam

While the federal government and law enforcement agencies do not have or provide standardized figures on fatal shootings by police officers nationwide, the growing awareness of police-related violence has spurred more and more independent investigations.

The Guardian reports that in 2015 alone, 102 of the 464 individuals killed by police were unarmed, and that 32 percent were Black. Adding Latino and other people of color, almost two-thirds of unarmed individuals killed by police were from underrepresented people:

Percent of Unarmed People Killed by Police
