Use of force data from dozens of police departments across the country compiled by a police accountability group shows overall Cincinnati police use force less often than many other departments, but that use of force is disproportionately used against Black people. The Cincinnati Police Department’s data reveals massive racial disparities in the use of force against civilians, Accountable Now said in a press release this week. Despite Black people comprising 42% of Cincinnati s population, per 2019 Census Bureau estimates, 73% of the subjects of police use of force in between 2017 and 2019 were Black.
The disparity in Cincinnati is greater than Dayton, Cleveland, Indianapolis and seven other cities on the group s website. All of the cities had a gap of at least 20 percentage points, while Cincinnati had a gap of 27 points. Five cities had a larger disparity: Minneapolis, Dallas, Omaha, Orlando and Stockton, Calif.
