One person is dead and another is in critical condition after a shooting Monday near a park in the West End, Cincinnati police said. The shooting took place around 1 p.m. in the 600 block of Wade Street near Laurel Park, police said.Witnesses said nearly a dozen shots rang out as children were playing nearby."It was several shots, at least 10," said De'Ana Pressley, who was close enough to hear the gunfire. "It was just some guys over here arguing and they just started shooting at each other."Police said one man fell to the ground near a parked food truck. The other man ran away with a severe gunshot wound to the leg. Investigators said he tried to get help from a woman who was in her car with her child."The was blood everywhere, all over the car, all over the lady. It's just crazy," Pressley said.Police said both victims were taken the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment, where one of the men died. He has been identified as Mister M. Williams, 24. Police have not released the name of the other person involved in the shooting. Police said they have not made any arrests but are not looking for suspects. Investigators said they are still sorting out the details. They have not confirmed if the men were shooting at each other.Details on what led to the shooting are unknown.

A leading cause of death for young black men...

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
About 1 in 1,000 black men and boys in America can expect to die at the hands of police, according to a new analysis of deaths involving law enforcement officers. That makes them 2.5 times more likely than white men and boys to die during an encounter with cops.

The analysis also showed that Latino men and boys, black women and girls and Native American men, women and children are also killed by police at higher rates than their white peers. But the vulnerability of black males was particularly striking.

"That 1-in-1,000 number struck us as quite high," said study leader Frank Edwards, a sociologist at Rutgers University. "That's better odds of being killed by police than you have of winning a lot of scratch-off lottery games."

The number-crunching by Edwards and his coauthors also revealed that for all young men, police violence was one of the leading causes of death in the years 2013 to 2018.

The findings, published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, add hard numbers to a pattern personified by victims like Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and Fredd ie Gray.

Five years after police in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., fatally shot Michael Brown, protesters and activist groups have focused public attention on the disproportionate use of force against African Americans and other people of color.

Scientists, meanwhile, are increasingly studying police violence as a public health problem whose long-term harms radiate far beyond the original victim.

"It can have these toxic effects on communities, in terms of both their physical and mental health," Edwards said.

A study published in the Lancet last year found that police killings of unarmed black men were associated with an increase in mental health problems such as depression and emotional issues for black people living in the state where the killing took place.

And living in a state of constant fear can lead to chronic stress, Edwards said. He referred to "the talk," a conversation that many African American parents have with their children - especially boys - about how to interact with police to avoid being harmed.

"They know that young black men are singled out as being inherently suspect," he said.

Accurately measuring the mortality rate associated with police violence right alongside those of cancer, heart disease and other major causes of death is a crucial step toward mitigating its damage and even "treating" its root causes. But calculating the true rate of police killings is difficult because official data are limited, researchers said.

The National Vital Statistics System captures some of these deaths, but it appears to underreport them, researchers said. This might have to do with the information given to coroners and medical examiners, or with the way they code deaths; the researchers can't say for sure.

To pull those numbers together, Edwards and his colleagues turned to Fatal Encounters, a journalist-led system that collects and combines information on police violence that's available through news coverage, public records and social media. Although not an official database, it appears to provide comprehensive information on recent police killings and has been endorsed as a sound source of data by the federal government's Bureau of Justice Statistics, the researchers said.

By combining and then analyzing information from Fatal Encounters and the National Vital Statistics System, the team was able to calculate the prevalence of fatal police violence overall and according to race, age and gender. Cases that police described as suicides were excluded, as were those involving a vehicle collision or accident such as an overdose or a fall.

For Latino men and boys, the risk was up to 1.4 times higher than it was for whites. For Native American men, the risk was 1.2 to 1.7 times higher.

Overall, women's risk of being killed by police was roughly 20 times lower than the risk to men. Even so, there were clear differences by ethnicity and race.

For instance, black women were about 1.4 times as likely to be killed by police as white women, the researchers found. Native American women were from 1.1 to 2.1 times as likely to be killed as their white peers.

Among Asians and Pacific Islanders, both men and women were less than half as likely as their white peers to be killed by police.

And Latina women were 12% to 23% less likely than white women to meet that fate. (Edwards called that finding "interesting," but he hesitated to speculate about it without studying the issue further.)

Across all groups, younger adults were most at risk; the chances of being killed by police peaked between the ages of 20 and 35.

The early 20s are a particularly dangerous time for young men, the researchers found. During the study period, police use of force accounted for 1.6% of all deaths of black men between the ages of 20 and 24. It was also responsible for 1.2% of deaths of Latino and Native American men. However, police violence accounted for just 0.5% of deaths of white and Asian American men in that age range.

"We believe these numbers, if anything, are a little bit conservative, maybe a bit too low," Edwards said. "But we think that these are the best that can be done in terms of just getting a baseline risk estimate out there."

Justin Feldman, a social epidemiologist at the New York University School of Medicine, said the most striking result for him was the mortality risk for black men and boys, which he called "pretty staggering."

"That's quite meaningful," said Feldman, who was not involved in the study. "If it's not you being killed by police, it's someone you know or someone in your community."

Abigail Sewell, a sociologist at Emory University who did not work on the report, said she wasn't surprised by most of the study's results. But that did not change the gravity of the findings.

"Honestly, it was a really unsettling paper," she said.

Part of the solution may be to reduce unnecessary police contact in the first place, Sewell said. For example, programs that helped young men of color find jobs might help keep them off the streets and away from cops. Perhaps mental health professionals could be called upon to address psychiatric issues instead of asking police to do so, since they typically do not have training for such tasks.

If unnecessary police contact were eliminated, she said, the incidence of fatal police violence might be lower - and racial disparities might be diminished too.

"But I'm not sure if the disparities would disappear altogether," she said. "These women and these men ... are living in neighborhoods that are overpoliced, where the police are very brutal in the way they treat citizens."

Retired Police Maj. Neill Franklin also highlighted the need for cultural and logistical shifts in policing. He pointed to the "war on drugs" waged by the federal government as an example.

That campaign "is clearly a public health issue when it comes to addiction, but for decades we have been using our police departments as the tip of the spear in dealing with this public health issue," said Franklin, who now serves as executive director of the Law Enforcement Action Partnership, an advocacy group comprising criminal justice professionals.

That spear, he said, has often been pointed toward black communities in inner cities.

The study authors said other factors may also be at play. It's possible that the lightness or darkness of a person's skin tone within his or her racial and ethnic group could affect his or her risk. So could geography, if Latino citizens are treated differently in different states.

But in order to probe such questions, scientists say they need far more data than is currently available. Information on police stops, whether or not they result in an arrest, would be crucial in determining the extent to which racial bias plays a role in police contact.

Franklin, who spent much of his 34-year career in law enforcement in the Baltimore city and Maryland state police departments, agreed.

"We need to do a much better job on monitoring the interactions of our police officers as they're going about their daily duties," he said. "I think we would be foolish to believe that we have solved to any great extent the issue of racial profiling in this country regarding police."

Getting that data will require more cooperation from police departments across the country, the researchers added.

"The United States is unique among wealthy democracies in terms of the number of people that are killed by its police forces," Feldman said. "I think the No. 1 thing it comes down to is a lack of accountability by police departments, both legally and politically."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's known as "The Talk" - a discussion left almost exclusively to black parents and family members about police.

"It's maddening," one black mother said. "I get so frustrated and angry about having to prepare my kids for something that they're not responsible for."

"The Talk" was the topic of a New York Times video from 2015, explaining how black parents have to prepare their sons for police encounters - out of fear, mainly, that such interactions can go horribly wrong, ending with their son dead.

These are the types of fears that have existed in black communities for generations, but they've recently received far more mainstream attention in the aftermath of high-profile police killings since the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014.

"These are conversations that people of other races do not have to have with their children," one black woman said.

"It doesn't mean that every police officer is inherently a bad person," one black man said, "but what it does mean is that the police force - that institution - does not look out for your best interest."

As one mother put it, "He is going to turn into a large, scary black man. And that's not who he is, but that's how he will be perceived."

Unfortunately, she's right: Study after study show black men are frequently perceived as larger, scarier, and more prone to criminality than people of other races. For black parents, that means a typical police stop turning into a violent encounter is a very real, terrifying possibility.

Most people are at least a little racist, even if they don't know it

As part of a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2014, researchers studied 176 mostly white, male police officers, and tested them to see if they held an unconscious "dehumanization bias" against black people by having them match photos of people with photos of big cats or apes. Researchers found that officers commonly dehumanized black people, and those who did were most likely to be the ones with a history of using force on black children in custody.

In the same study, researchers interviewed 264 mostly white, female college students and found that they tended to perceive black children ages 10 and older as "significantly less innocent" than their white counterparts.

"Children in most societies are considered to be in a distinct group with characteristics such as innocence and the need for protection," Phillip Goff, a UCLA researcher and author of the study, said in a statement. "Our research found that black boys can be seen as responsible for their actions at an age when white boys still benefit from the assumption that children are essentially innocent."

"I'VE NEVER BEEN SO DISGUSTED BY MY OWN DATA"

Other research suggests there can be superhumanization bias at work, as well, with white people more likely to associate paranormal or magical powers with black people than with other white people. And the more they associate magical powers with black people, the less likely they are to believe black people feel pain.

Another study found people tend to associate what the authors call "black-sounding names," like DeShawn and Jamal, with larger, more violent people than they do "white-sounding names," like Connor and Garrett.

"I've never been so disgusted by my own data," Colin Holbrook, the lead author of the study, said in a statement. "The amount that our study participants assumed based only on a name was remarkable. A character with a black-sounding name was assumed to be physically larger, more prone to aggression, and lower in status than a character with a white-sounding name."

These biases can seriously impact people's lives

As one can imagine, subconscious racial biases can have real effects on people's lives - such as their job prospects. In one study, researchers sent out almost entirely identical résumés - except some had stereotypically white names, while others had stereotypically black names. The white names were 50 percent more likely to be called back for interviews.

These biases also may contribute to greater use of force by police. Studies show, for example, that officers shoot black suspects more quickly in video game simulations. Josh Correll, a University of Colorado Boulder psychology professor who conducted the research, said it's possible the bias could lead to even more skewed outcomes in the field. "In the very situation in which [officers] most need their training," he said, "we have some reason to believe that their training will be most likely to fail them."

Knowing about implicit bias and its consequences is important, researchers say, not just to prove how terrible the world is but because awareness is one of the ways to combat such biases. Police departments have, for example, taken steps to train their police officers to resist their biases - a potentially important reform to reducing the racial disparities in police stops and police shootings so feared by black parents.

The 2014 killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald - the black teen shot 16 times by a white police officer - put a spotlight on the troubled relationship between the Chicago Police Department and the city's black communities.

The tension only amplified more than a year later when a dashcam video of that night was released, showing the teen walking away from police before the officer, Jason Van Dyke, began to fire. The video and conversations about that tragic event were everywhere - on TV, on social media and in homes across the country.

For questioner Mark Mesle, it inspired discussions about how kids should handle themselves when interacting with law enforcement and how parents of different races and backgrounds might prepare their children for those interactions. Mark noticed while his white friends didn't feel compelled to talk with their kids about such interactions, his black friends and coworkers saw this guidance as a necessary part of parenting.

So he asked Curious City if anybody has reported on the disparity between white and black conversations about handling yourself if the police stop you, or conducted a survey about how Chicagoans talk to their families about police based on race.

The answer to that question is no - there are no formal studies that quantify the differences in how these talks go among people with different racial backgrounds. But we know anecdotally (and through our own informal survey) that black parents are much more likely to have that discussion with their children, and that's because the stakes for those families are different. Black parents are more likely to fear for their kids' safety.

Here's what has been thoroughly documented: Black people, especially black males, are disproportionately affected by police shootings. Between 2010 and 2015, 80% of people shot by Chicago police were black, according to the most recent analysis by the Chicago Tribune - a group that constitutes about a third of the city's population.

That reality led Mark to wonder:
What should we say to our kids about how to interact with the police?
For that, we turned to a panel of experts: a child psychiatrist, a former public defender and a police officer - for their advice on how and when to have "the talk." And while the risk of a police interaction going wrong is significantly higher for black children, they told us it's information that all kids could benefit from knowing.

Adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Adrienne Clark says it's important for parents to be honest with their kids from an early age and to include more details as the child gets older.

She says that parents can start talking about these issues as early as age 6 when children start school.

"They're likely to hear about police incidents - they're on the news, and everyone is talking about these events when they happen," she says. "You want them to hear it from a trusted adult before hearing it from their peers and classmates."

For these younger children, Clark says books like Something Happened in Our Town: A Child's Story About Racial Injustice can help start the conversation. Published by the American Psychological Association, the story follows two families - one white and one black - as they discuss a police shooting of a black man in their community.

Here's more age-specific advice from Clark:
Talking about police by age School-Aged Children
Even if parents think their children are too young and innocent to be viewed as a threat, Clark says research from the American Psychological Association and others has shown that police are more likely to mistake black boys as young as 10 as older and less innocent, making them more likely to be face police violence if accused of a crime. That risk of a confrontation intensifies as kids mature into their teenage years and start to spend more time away from their families.

"So you might think, 'I'm 16; I'm playing around,'" Clark says. "But get them to understand: You might be perceived as an adult."

Teaching your children what they have the right to say - and not say - during a traffic stop can be key, says lawyer Patrice James. James is a former public defender and now works as the director of community justice at the Shriver Center on Poverty Law. She says it's fine for kids to give their names to an officer, but once the questions go beyond that, they should immediately ask for two things: a parent and a lawyer.

"It's when questions go beyond [their names] that there is reason to have concern," James says. "At that point, we are asking a child to decipher whether this is a safe question or not a safe question." And that, she says, is more than most kids should be responsible for.

But, James says, there's an easy and polite way to make that request that can help keep tensions from escalating.

"Say, 'I would feel more comfortable if my parents are here. I would like to call my parent, and I would like to have my lawyer present,'" James says. "Those two things should end the questioning."

But should your kids ask the officer if they, in fact, are under arrest? James says no, because they risk talking themselves into an arrest.

"It is so important to stop the questions as quickly as you can and as early in the questioning as you can," she says.

A Chicago police officer interviewed for this story suggests parents teach children to stay calm and cooperate with officers' requests. (Because he is a detective and often works undercover, we are refraining from using his name.)

Even if kids know they've done something wrong, he says, it is important for them to remain calm and compliant.

During a traffic stop, he also suggested teens (and others) follow these steps:

- Turn off the ignition.

- Roll down all of your windows - even if it's winter.

- Explain where your license, registration and insurance are before reaching for them.

The officer told us that, as a black father, he has had "the talk" with his own kids. And if they feel they are being treated unfairly, to deal with that later.

"What I tell my kids, and the children I teach, is just comply," he says. "If the police officer asks you to do something, roll down the window and give them whatever they ask. And if it's an unlawful order, there are systems set in place where that police officer will be held accountable for his actions."

If kids feel their rights were violated during a stop, he advises they take down the information they'll need to report them later.

"Every officer has a badge number, every car has a beat number," he says. "Even detective vehicles have license plates."

More about our questioner

Mark Mesle is a Chicagoan, a dad and outreach coordinator for the Midwest regional office of the National Parks Conservation Association. His question was inspired by a realization he had around the time of the release of the Laquan McDonald video.

"I've never had a conversation with other white parents about how to talk to our kids about how to handle themselves if they are pulled over by the police," he says. "But for my African American friends and colleagues, that is a part of their parenting experience, and for some of them, it was a part of the experience they had with their parents."

He said he hopes that a fuller understanding of the reasons behind this situation, and what black parents go through, will help create more empathy between Chicagoans.

A look at the major moments between Mr. Arbery's killing in a Georgia suburb and the arrest of two suspects, both charged with murder.

Ahmaud Arbery loved to run. A former high school football standout, he had been jogging near his home on the outskirts of Brunswick, Ga., when he was shot and killed after being pursued by two white men with guns, according to the authorities.

The men, Travis McMichael, 34, and his father, Gregory McMichael, 64, were charged on Thursday with murder and aggravated assault - two days after a graphic video of the shooting of Mr. Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, became public, and more than two months after the killing itself.

The case has generated a wave of outrage and raised concerns about persistent racial inequities in the justice system.

Here is a timeline of the events leading up to the arrests this week.

Feb. 23

Mr. Arbery was killed shortly after 1 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 23, in Satilla Shores, a suburban neighborhood about 15 minutes from downtown Brunswick.

The authorities said he was shot after an encounter with Gregory and Travis McMichael, who had grabbed two guns and followed Mr. Arbery in a truck after he jogged past them.

Gregory McMichael told the police that he thought Mr. Arbery looked like a man suspected in several break-ins in the area. The Brunswick News, citing documents obtained through a public records request, reported that there had been just one burglary in the neighborhood since January: the theft of a handgun from an unlocked truck parked outside Travis McMichael's house.

Feb. 27

The Brunswick District Attorney's Office and the Glynn County Police Department conducted the initial investigation into the killing.

On Feb. 27, the Brunswick district attorney, Jackie L. Johnson, recused herself from the case, pointing out that Gregory McMichael, a former Glynn County police officer, had been a longtime investigator in her office until his retirement last May.

April 1

After a public records request, The Brunswick News reported details of the Glynn County Police Department's records on the shooting. The police report was based almost entirely on the responding officer's interview with Gregory McMichael. The records claimed that after the McMichaels pursued Mr. Arbery, Travis McMichael and Mr. Arbery "started fighting over the shotgun, at which point Travis fired a shot and then a second later there was a second shot."

Early April

The case was taken over by George E. Barnhill, the Waycross district attorney, who advised the police that there was insufficient cause to arrest Mr. Arbery's pursuers. He argued that they had acted legally under Georgia's citizen arrest and self-defense laws, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.

Under pressure from Mr. Arbery's family, Mr. Barnhill then recused himself from the case because his son had worked in the Brunswick prosecutor's office with Gregory McMichael. Mr. Barnhill asked the Georgia Attorney General's Office to help find another district attorney to handle the case.

April 13

On April 13, the case was transferred to a third prosecutor, District Attorney Tom Durden of the Atlantic Judicial Circuit.

For two months, the shooting received little attention outside Brunswick. As the coronavirus pandemic dominated headlines and shut down communities around the country, The Times spoke with Mr. Arbery's friends and family, who were by then concerned the case might quietly disappear in their Deep South community, because social distancing restrictions had made it difficult for them to gather and protest.

May 5

By Tuesday evening, a graphic video of the fatal encounter had begun to circulate online. It galvanized an already growing chorus of voices calling for charges to be brought in the case.

Recorded from inside a vehicle, it shows Mr. Arbery running along a shaded two-lane residential road when he comes upon a white pickup truck, with a man standing beside its open driver-side door. Another man is in the truck bed. Mr. Arbery runs around the vehicle and disappears briefly from view. Muffled shouting can be heard before Mr. Arbery emerges, tussling with the man outside the truck as three shotgun blasts echo.

That same day, Mr. Durden said that he wanted to send the case to a grand jury to decide whether to bring charges. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said that night that it would be taking over the case at Mr. Durden's request.

The Times later learned that WGIG, the Brunswick radio station that first posted the video, had obtained the footage from a local criminal defense lawyer who had informally consulted with the suspects. The lawyer, Alan Tucker, said in an interview on Friday that he had leaked the video to dispel rumors that he said had fueled tension in the community.

"It wasn't two men with a Confederate flag in the back of a truck going down the road and shooting a jogger in the back," he said.

May 7

Gregory and Travis McMichael were arrested at home on Thursday evening and booked into a jail in Glynn County, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Both were charged with murder and aggravated assault. It was not clear on Thursday whether the men had retained legal counsel.

Mr. Arbery would have turned 26 on May 8. The hashtag #IRunWithMaud was shared thousands of times across social media, as supporters documented 2.23-mile runs and walks, to commemorate the date of Mr. Arbery's killing.

Georgia's attorney general, Chris Carr, through a spokeswoman, said on Friday that he planned to start a review of all of the relevant players in the case.

Mr. Carr, a Republican, urged the Justice Department to initiate a sweeping investigation into the case.

Justice Department officials later said that they were weighing whether to bring federal hate crime charges, and had asked state officials to pass along relevant information as they considered beginning an investigation.

Mr. Carr appointed the fourth prosecutor to handle the case. She is Joyette M. Holmes, the district attorney in Cobb County, a populous Atlanta suburb, where she is the first African-American to hold the office. Mr. Carr also requested that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation investigate possible prosecutorial misconduct by Mr. Barnhill and Ms. Johnson.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) - Protesters gathered again Wednesday at the south Minneapolis intersection where George Floyd lost consciousness with the knee of a city police officer pressing against his neck.

Dozens of people blocked traffic midday at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and East 38th Street, where police were recorded Monday evening pinning Floyd to the payment as he repeatedly told them he couldn't breathe. Floyd, 46, was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly thereafter.

The noontime protest Wednesday was peaceful, with demonstrators chanting and lifting signs. On Tuesday afternoon, thousands had gathered at the same interaction. While it began peacefully, the tone of the protest changed in the evening as a smaller group marched to Minneapolis police's 3rd Precinct headquarters and clashed with officers in riot gear.

Protesters also gathered Tuesday at the home of Derek Chauvin, one of the four officers involved in the fatal arrest. Another protest is slated to happen near Chauvin's home in a St. Paul suburb on Wednesday afternoon.

After the bystander video of Floyd's arrest circulated Tuesday on social media, sparking outrage across the country, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo fired Chauvin and the other three officers involved in the encounter. The other three officers have yet to be identified.

Chauvin and his three former colleagues were initially called to the Powderhorn neighborhood intersection Monday evening on a report of someone trying to use a forged document at a deli.

Minneapolis police initially said that Floyd resisted arrest, but video obtained by CBS News contradicts that, at least in the early moments of the encounter.

On Wednesday afternoon, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called for the Hennepin County Attorney's Office to charge the officer who had his knee on Floyd's neck. He also stated that he wanted the body camera video of the incident released as soon as possible.

Floyd's death is currently under investigation by the FBI, the Minnesota Department of Criminal Apprehension, and the Hennepin County Attorney's Office.
