The article is really... "loosely" written from a statistical point of view so here's the short version:

>According to that audit, the racial breakdown of people against whom
police used force between 2018 and 2020 was 57% Black, 34% Hispanic and
7% white, with the rest unknown or other communities.

Paterson's 2020 Census shows 24.7%, 62.6%, and 22.9%, respectively. What I'd really like to see instead of the raw audit numbers is an analysis of how racially biased each department is by comparing the two. This can't be just a Paterson problem.
