Police are More Likely to Kill Black Men, Study Finds
December 20, 2016
James Buehler, MD, a clinical professor in the Dornsife School of Public Health, released research that found black men are almost three times as likely to die as a result of police action as white men. His work was featured and he was quoted in stories in both the Philadelphia Daily News and Philadelphia Inquirer, and Reuters, Quartz, Huffington Post, Philly Voice and CNN Online Dec. 20. The Pacific Standard did a pair of stories the same day quoting Buehler, one featuring the study itself and the second a Q&A with Buehler. KGO-AM (San Francisco) also mentioned the study on their afternoon broadcast Dec. 20. The Reuters story was picked up by Yahoo! News and Business Insider, among others, and the CNN story was picked up by local news websites.
