Various titles of news articles say black boys are more likely to be shot by Chicago police. These titles push the narrative that police unfairly profile black men in Chicago. But if you read further down,
"When you look at the map, 80 percent of narcotics arrests, gun arrests and gang arrests happen in these poor areas," he told the newspaper. "Where you've got dope, you've got guns. It's not about ethnicity — it's about criminal involvement."
"Most of the police shootings took place in South and West Side neighborhoods beset by gang violence and poverty."
Are these titles misleading?

Arshell Dennis, a 19-year-old son of a Chicago police officer was shot and killed Sunday morning, hours before he was due to return to college in New York.
Arshell apparently made a video about his experiences with police. He said he was pulled over and profiled. He wasn't killed by police. It is believed Arshell was shot as part of gang initiation or mistaken identity.
Arshell is one of over 50 black people shot and killed in August. He was also one of over 350 black people shot during the month of August. These are just the numbers that I could confirm. There were 75 people killed by gunshot and around 370 shot during the month of August in Chicago.
