A new study about the total number of people killed by law enforcement officers reveals more proof on racial profiling against the black community in the United States. The survey conducted by the Guardian, shows that US police officers killed 1,134 people in 2015. The findings also show that young black men were nine times more likely than other Americans to be killed by police officers. Black males between the ages of 15 and 34 make up only 2 percent of the total US population. Police killings, especially of African Americans, have sparked mass protests in many US cities over the past two years.
