White police officer killing black person not an anomaly

Earlier this year the USA Today reported that nearly two times a week in the United States, a white police officer killed a black person during a seven-year period ending in 2012.  The data was from the most recent accounts of justifiable homicide reported to the FBI.
On average, there were 96 such incidents among at least 400 police killings each year that were reported to the FBI by local police.
The reports showed that 18% of the blacks killed during those seven years were under age 21, compared to 8.7% of whites.
While the racial analysis is striking, the database it's based on has been long considered flawed and largely incomplete. The killings are self-reported by law enforcement and not all police departments participate so the database undercounts the actual number of deaths. Plus, the numbers are not audited after they are submitted to the FBI and the statistics on "justifiable" homicides have conflicted with independent measures of fatalities at the hands of police.
