Easy as

So to answer the question and I'll generalise...using 2018...say 5x61.5 million contacts..say 300 mill and blacks were 20%...so that's 60 million contacts

And of that...135 folks were shot and killed. I'll let you do the maths...hint...you'll need a fair few zeroes

Yup...like I thought CLEAR evidence of systemic racism of white cops hunting down black folks

Twenty-four percent of residents experienced contact with police, up from 21% in 2015.

Easy to find

Although half of the people shot and killed by police are White, Black Americans are shot at a disproportionate rate. They account for less than 13 percent of the U.S. population, but are killed by police at more than twice the rate of White Americans. Hispanic Americans are also killed by police at a disproportionate rate.
