Cop kills man after he informs officer that he is legally carrying a concealed weapon
#23
As BPK stated...it is a FALSE ASSUMPTION. Especially with no accurate data base of record. Just like you, I've read conflicting reports. Such as the FBI reports of blacks made up 67% of people killed by the hands of cops. Don't really know the source or year your chart is depicting but Black people were killed by police at more than twice the rate of white people in 2015
And even using your ASSUMPTION despite the higher total number of white people killed, black people were more likely to die at the hands of law enforcement when adjusting for population (per one million).
7.13 Black
3.48 Hispanic
3.4 Native American
2.91 White
1.34 Asian

Also black people killed were found to be twice as likely to not have a weapon.
Despite making up only 2% of the total US population, African American males between the ages of 15 and 34 Their rate of police-involved deaths was five times higher than for white men of the same age.

Also with ASSUMPTION that whites were killed more. great majority of them who died at the hands of the police fit at least one of three categories: they were wielding weapons, they were suicidal or mentally troubled, or they ran when officers told them to halt and not unarmed.
Let's also not forget that most statistics are only what police departments report. They have no obligation to report.
