White people make up over 60% of the total population. Black people make up about 13-16%. So when you adjust for that, a black male is 7 times more likely to be killed by police than a white male. That's the problem. The false narrative is looking at it based solely on total numbers. If 300 are killed out of 300,000,000, that is not equal to 200 killed out of 50,000,000. Yes, more of the larger population were killed in total, but a higher percentage of the smaller population are getting killed.

You fail to mention % of crime by white black. So it likely all balances out. Anyway, It is a problem that is not easily fixed. We need to reach kids at a young age and educate them on available opportunities that are out there.

Anyway, not going to get into a political debate. It isn't a racial problem it is a social economical problem. Unfortunately the majority of that "group" are black.
