The premise behind BLM that police shoot a disproportionate number of blacks is blatantly false. The reality is that the police shoot more white criminals than black criminals even though blacks commit a disproportionately greater number of crimes than their numbers in the general population would indicate probable.
Number of people shot to death by the police in the United States from 2017 to 2020, by race

Kicking out individuals of unknown race, here's how it stacks up,
Year/ Blacks as % of total people killed by police /Police killed by blacks vs other races
2017/ 24.7% / 36.3%
2018/ 26.4% / 41.8%
2019/ 29.3% / 34.1%
In other words, if you've got a dead policeman, there's about a 34% to 42% chance he was killed by someone who's black. If you've got someone killed by a policeman, there's about a 25% to 29% chance he's black.
This is why I think BLM is misguided and should be expending more of its efforts on other issues.
And one of those issues, which Levianon was discussing in response to the OP, was overall reform of the criminal justice system. Here are some numbers to back up my case:
Further, blacks are over represented in every category of violent crime:

However, 38.2% of inmates are black:

This link indicates that black males received 19% longer sentences for similar crimes compared to white males:

Dig deeper and you'll almost certainly find similar disparities for parole and probation.
