You have to compare arrests vs unarmed deaths. Because crime is disproportionately committed by black people, they have a death count to police which is disproportionate to the black population. Without including crime rates, it would also lead us to believe that men are disproportionately killed police too, when we know men commit the majority of crimes... so it's a worthless comparison.

If you want in depth information I'd recommend searching for FBI crime statistics.

But for example, in 2017 the black population made up 53% of all arrests for murder, and 54% of all arrests for robbery.

So when you go to a site like this: https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/

It claims black people are 1.3 times more likely to be killed than white people (unarmed), that's simply misleading. So is "black people were 24% of those killed despite being only 13% of the population." While that is a true statement, they intentionally leave out the part where black people make up 27% of all arrests (so they're actually doing pretty well comparatively).

They also don't tell you black people make up 53% of arrests for murder, 29% of rape, 54% of robbery, 33% aggravated assault, 30% of burglary, etc, so if all things are equal it will be reflected in a disproportionate death rate to their population.

And in 2019 white men were killed significantly more than black when unarmed, but I don't have those numbers off the top of my head.

I think they are confusing, unarmed black people, with just black people that are armed, and overall.

Only 9-11 unarmed black people were killed in 2019! Whites are more likely to be killed.
