Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The shooter bias is the tendency for people to mistakenly shoot unarmed black targets more often than unarmed white targets. This is often linked to the stereotype association of black people with crime and violence, as it causes people to perceive black individuals as more threatening and dangerous than white individuals. Neither A, B, nor D directly relate to this specific consequence of the stereotype association with crime and violence among black individuals.
