A three-year analysis of Louisiana State Police data shows troopers use force against Black people at a rate that’s out of proportion with their share of the state’s population. Black residents represent 31% of Louisiana population, yet they accounted for 902 use-of-force incidents involving state troopers from 2022-24, or 60.5% of all recorded, according to a data analysis report from Innocence and Justice Louisiana. White residents, who account for 61% of the state population, were involved in 341 or 23%. Link courtesy of Louisiana Illuminator.
