Does Police Shootings of USA Black Males Make Black Men An Endangered Species ?

Frequent shootings of black males by police raise the question of whether Black Men in the USA are an endangered species. I decided to investigate this notion and found the following website, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/endangered%20species Does the notion of endangered species include human beings? Some websites suggested past historical accounts of humans who were at risk for extinction.The following 2013 website suggested that "endangered species" may include humans, http://guardianlv.com/2013/09/endangered-species-may-include-humans/ If an ol' fictional hoboclown detective can find and begin a discussion of this notion,surely the US political and human rights scholars can do likewise. Or maybe the world community of human rights groups can see merit in this discussion ... Can an Endangered Species Bill be proposed by the current sitting US Congress or the 2016 US Presidential Candidates? Will such a body politic enact such legislation ? Is this a worthy issue to discuss ? You tell me ...
