Blacks get unfair share of the killings if you factor in ethnic population ratio.

Men are only around 50% of the population yet are 99% of the individuals killed by police.

Using your logic, that can only mean “systemic sexism”, right?

Even black women are very rarely killed by police, even though they have darker skin.

Could the odds of being killed while violently resisting arrest possibly correlate to the rate of certain demographics committing a much higher proportion of violent crimes, like say 7% of the population being responsible for half of all homicides?

Dude, I have seen a video where a white kid in his early 20s resisting arrest and wrestled the officer to the ground and even at some point chased the officer and the officer never pulled the trigger on the white kid.

Under similar circumstances the white kid would have been toast if he was black. Do you agree?

Take away from this some cops not all tends to be more trigger happy when faced with resisting black kid that white kid.
