A study by the People’s Policy Project suggests that white, working-class people are particularly vulnerable to police brutality. As Jacobin reported, the study found that the rate of police killings increased as census tract poverty increased, with the level of police killings in the highest-poverty quintile more than three times that of the lowest-poverty quintile. In layman's terms, you’re overall more likely to be killed by a police officer if you’re working-class or poor.
