Detroit has the least inequality!
The irony here is that policies that encourage the rich to leave your city (or to not live there in the first place) invariably reduce measured inequality. It’s worth noting that Detroit has one of the lowest levels of measured inequality of any large city in the United States.

Police not killing black suspects at a higher rate.
Arrest data lets us measure this possibility. For the entire country, 28.9 percent of arrestees were African-American. This number is not very different from the 31.8 percent of police-shooting victims who were African-Americans. If police discrimination were a big factor in the actual killings, we would have expected a larger gap between the arrest rate and the police-killing rate.
