By Robert J. Hansen | OBSERVER Staff Writer - A recent United Nations report found that Black people in the United States are three times more likely to be killed by police than if they were white, and four and a half times more likely to be incarcerated, and called for reform of use-of-force regulations and alternative responses to policing.
In response to the audit, the Sacramento Police Department said it is working to comply with a rape kit law more than four years after a state deadline.
