If you are a criminal then you are more likely to be shot by the police if you are white than black.
if we take a look at how many people the police kill in the USA
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...un/01/the-counted-police-killings-us-database
I have used the 2016 figures that show the police killed 266 black and 574 white so the police are killing 2.16x more whites.
Now what we need to know is who is coming into contact with the police. And to do this I will take a look at the prison population as a guide, where 34% is Black and 29% white
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incar... the U.S. Bureau,18% of the female population.
so can we assume black people are coming into contact with the police for serious crime 17% more often than whites?
so there we have it, black people are coming into more contact with the police and yet the police are killing twice as many whites?
