You should read the study that came out in the last year that shows that police actually hesitate more to shoot black suspects than white ones, because obviously they all pretty much know at this point that if they do shoot a black men their lives will probably become a living hell and their careers might be ruined, so they tend to really make sure it is necessary (more so than if the suspect is white, anyway).
A couple years ago there was a [now-defunct?] alt-right website that composed some pretty comprehensive and well-arranged info-graphics using the 2009 FBI crime stats, and when you look at all the numbers in totality the resulting picture is shocking. One stat that was even more astonishing than the rest was that in one year several thousand white women were raped by black men, but there was not a SINGLE recorded instance of a white man raping a black woman. (not sure whether that is more damning of the self-control of black men, or the desirability of black women, though).
The media will never mention those stats, especially since they're always trying to make the police look like bad guys who are out to kill blacks while making criminals look like altar boys who would never hurt a fly.
The harvard study I linked was one of the most interesting studies in media I have ever seen. within a few hours, virtually every media outlet I know of was misrepresenting it. Some singled out that it said that police used nonlethal force 20% more on blacks, some erroneously said that it showed "no bias" in shootings. Literally *none* of the articles I saw had correct headlines.
For the record, the findings were that police use nonlethal force 20% more on Blacks, and use lethal force 20% more on whites. Which finding I find very interesting.
