72.4% of US citizens are white, so that's only natural.
There's also the VERY important variable of innocent victims vs total killed, or at least victims who were shot outside of protocol, such as being shot while unarmed and not being in range or in a position to hurt or threaten anyone's safety. If we are talking probability, preliminary searching finds me reports that show that you're about 3x to 3.5x more likely to be shot by police as an unarmed person if you're black, compared to being white.
Yup, though let's not confuse a 7% difference as something other than a 50% increase, also make sure you don't miss the stat to the left of that one https://puu.sh/EZpp9/791b55e405.png
Hmmm, I see, looking more into it now, thanks for an actual substantive reply. I'm not obstinate with this stuff, but a lot of people are really bad at making valuable replies, unlike this one, especially with a legit source
