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.
They're also disproportionately represented in a similar fashion in regards to criminal convictions. If you use your logic then cops are racist towards blacks, and blacks only in regards to minorities, and blacks are more likely to be criminals. Of course the absolute far edge of thinking is that the entire system is biased against blacks. The question then becomes why blacks instead of hispanics, asians, arabs or any other racial minority?
The answer is much more complicated than some numbers on a chart and neither statistic really tells the whole story. it doesn't stop either side from using these stats to "prove" something though.
