But the truth of the matter is that even when you adjust for that, police still kill more white people than black people.
"Adjusted to take into account the racial breakdown of the U.S. population, he said black men are 3.5 times more likely to be killed by police than white men. But also adjusted to take into account the racial breakdown in violent crime, the data actually show that police are less likely to kill black suspects than white ones."

The bottom line (as the title of the article says) is that "Police kill more whites than blacks, but minority deaths generate more outrage." |
I'm not quite sure why they'd want to subcategorize for that, I'm not sure what that has to do with the spate of police violence on people committing no crime either. And the article also states, as has been known for some time, that no one actually knows how many shootings and killings there are by police, because no one tracks it.
The police must follow the law while enforcing it. That is regardless of who they encounter or their race.
