True: Police kill men with a 22x bias over women. What justification does anyone have for accepting this, and why can't a similar justification be applied to race?

Because men commit the vast majority of violent crimes in the US and are therefore much more likely to encounter a lethal response from the police?
What about the people who make a similar claim concerning race?
From what I remember of arguments in 2015-16, the differential between "% of violent crimes" and "% of people killed by police" for POC is huge - much bigger than the one for purely "male" (which obviously has an overlap anyway.)
