I've pointed this out to a very liberal friend of mine and got a response of, "That's because police put more blacks in jail and let the whites go" mixed with, "Those are just inaccurate" It takes every ounce of my north jersey self not to go soprano.
They are actually protesting about a number even smaller than that. The number of unarmed blacks killed by police. That's somewhere in the range of 9-19 a year depending on the source. And of those, most were trying to run police over in cars, etc and technically unarmed but assaulting police. You wouldn't even see it on this chart; essentially zero.

This is like, the only record of black history. Does anyone even know what Sub-Saharan blacks did before 1619?
Happy Black History month.
