I find this chart very interesting because of everything that has been happening in the news lately. With Ferguson as well as the shooting of Trayvon Martin white police have been getting beat down on (not literally) because of the actions of others. This graph shows a possibility of why there has been many problems. White police brutality has been a huge headline in our current news and the question is why is it just coming up as well as why is information on white over representation in police just making big news? We can change this but it will take time. I believe that police need to be reevaluated for the safety of everyone.
This graph shows over representation and under representation in a way that numbers can't. This makes information more appealing with colors and the visual. In order to get this information with numbers and words you'd have to read paragraphs of statistics instead of having a easy, eye appealing chart.
