Is a police officer 18x more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed?

Imagine you're playing a game where some people are more likely to win than others, just because of who they are.

Police officers are like players in this game. Sometimes, when they play against black males, the chance that one of them gets hurt is much higher than when they play against someone else, like an unar (which might be a typo for "unarmed" or another group).

Let's say 18 out of every 100 times a police officer plays this game with a black male, something bad happens, the officer gets killed. But if they play with someone else, only 1 out of every 100 times does that happen.

So it’s like saying: If you have 18 red balls and 1 blue ball, and you pick one at random, you're way more likely to get a red ball than a blue one. That's how much more likely the officer is to be killed by a black male compared to someone else.

It doesn’t mean every black male will hurt an officer, just that it happens more often with this group than with others.
