That's why they use 'disproportionately', because if they heard that 500 whites were killed by cops, and 230 blacks were, no one would be freaking out. When you say, blacks are 'disproportionately' shot! There are 4 times more whites in US, and blacks get shot at twice the rate as whites! Therefore, blacks are 8 times more likely to be shot than a white/1 RAYISS!!!" (Ignore shitty statistical maths.)
Blacks are 13% of the population, yet commit 56% of violent crimes! Therefore, blacks commit violent crimes at a rate of 12 times that of a white. Cops generally shoot violent people more often. so, if blacks commit 12 times the violent crimes, and cops shoot them at a rate of 8 to 1, doesn't that mean cops shoot blacks disproportionately LESS?
