Basically it proves that people who claim there is no racial bias by police are full of shit.
I noticed the author offered a "theory" that "softer" methods of racism are used stopping short of lethal force.
Another theory, equally valid based on the evidence, is that blacks are less cooperative because of cultural biases. 15-20% difference makes a lot of sense in that regard, and actually fits all the facts better.
So, no. The only proof is there's no racial bias in shootings. Blacks are more likely to be "roughed up" when arrested, but without context that proves nothing. The "racist cop" doesn't want to shoot you, he just wants to push you around....doesn't pass the logical "smell test".
