WE'RE #1! Chicago Tops in Fatal Police Shootings of Blacks with Checkered Pasts

Chicago police have fatally shot 70 people over a five-year span, tops among departments in the largest U.S. cities.

The Chicago victims were nearly all male. Most were black. More than half of the killings happened in six South Side police districts.

No other police department in any of the 10 most populous cities killed more people from 2010 through 2014, but Chicago ranks fourth behind Phoenix, Philadelphia and Dallas when the numbers are adjusted for population, according to a Better Government Association analysis of data obtained through interviews and open records requests.
