Black residents in Tulsa are about 2½ to 4 times more likely to have use of force used against them by police officers than white residents.
An analysis by the Tulsa World found that the estimate becomes 3 to 5 times more likely when blacks are compared against all other races combined.
The newspaper compiled police use-of-force data by race from 2010 through 2015 and paired it with American Community Survey demographic figures to determine per-capita use of force rates.
The rates involving black residents increased each year from 2010 and peaked in 2013 before trending downward in 2014 and 2015.
That high in 2013 saw force used against blacks about 4 times more than whites. Last year, officers used force against blacks about 2½ times more than whites.
