Black Americans are more than six times as likely as white Americans to have had police called on them at least once due to their race or ethnicity, according to a new poll.

The YouGov survey questioned 2,284 US adult citizens between late October and early November. The findings reaffirm long-standing reports from Black and Hispanic Americans: the same interaction with police carries vastly different risks depending on race. The results come as no surprise to those who have been listening.
