Subject: White People Have Contraband But Black People Get Arrested: Data from Ferguson
To: michelsub2004@gmail.com


Hi Michael,


I know you have covered the situation in Ferguson.

We analyzed racial profiling and arrest data from Ferguson and found:


  • Black drivers are over-represented in every aspect of vehicle stops - except on an Interstate Highway

  • White People Have Contraband But Black People Get Arrested


We have compiled an interactive database which visualizes data involving racial profiling by the Ferguson Police Department: MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "ferguson-racial-profiling-data.silk.co" claiming to be http://ferguson-racial-profiling-data.silk.co.


You can post any visualizations as an embed in your article (Here's how).
