Of course those numbers don't take into account some other facts
roughly 24 percent of African-Americans in Missouri have been convicted of a felony, according to unpublished estimates by academic researchers.
Or that roughly 1/3rd of the young black population in Missouri doesn't graduate from high school
Or that nearly half of police officers (AZ and MN used as representative sample states) in a study reported having four year degrees ... a standard met by only 10% of blacks nationwide (15% of whites)
Bottom line: the pool of potential applicants is a number lower than the total population ... but that doesn't fit the narrative so it should probably just be ignored
