> black people do roughly 50% of violent crimes

Thank you for this information. So do you support the fact that police in this country are working as a judge, jury and executor?

I am sorry, but if I were you, I'd be ashamed to use such justification for people's killings.

Let's focus on the issue at hand, policing violence is a problem that needs to be addressed, putting the blame on one side or the other because "they're more violent" is not a good start to any serious discussion except to shield police from their actions.

It's a statistic, that is more relevant than plain population share.
