The shooting in Madison, Wisconsin occurred a day after two Ferguson police officers quit while city employees resigned following the discovery of the alleged racial prejudice in the city's police and judicial system.

The report showed that from 2012 to 2014, 85% of people subject to vehicle stops by Ferguson police were African-American, 90% of those who received citations were black, and 93% of people arrested were black.

In 88% of the cases in which Ferguson police officers reported using force, it was against African-Americans.

From 2012-2014 black drivers were twice as likely as white drivers to be searched during traffic stops, but 26% less likely to be found in possession of contraband.
