aha...I get it ...you give us a fact without context and demand we prove you wrong

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
