USAschwitz: Every 28 hours a black man is killed by police in the United States

In August, 22-year-old Aboriginal woman Miss Dhu died in the custody of West Australian police following three separate trips to the nearby Hedland Health Campus. The full details of her death are still not known. She had been jailed for unpaid fines totalling $1000.

Last month, 37-year-old African-American woman Tanesha Anderson died after police in Cleveland, Ohio slammed her head repeatedly into the concrete ground even though she was already in handcuffs. Her family had called the police in the belief they could help calm the bipolar and schizophrenic woman.

These two deaths occurred on opposite sides of the globe in ostensibly different circumstances. And yet, the terrifying, violent ends met by these two women share one vital thing in common: they would almost certainly not have occurred had the victims not been black.

By now, many people are familiar with the line, "Every 28 hours a black man is killed by police in the United States." This harrowing statistic has fuelled the rage and grief in many op-eds and news articles demanding change in the wake of the grand jury decisions not to indict the police officers who killed Mike Brown and Eric Garner.

However, before it takes firm hold in our collective conscious, it must be noted that the line should actually read, every 28 hours a black person is killed by police or vigilantes.

Black American women are not safe by virtue of being women, just as being a woman did not save Miss Dhu from being one of the 340 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to die in police custody since 1989.
