A few points:
1) these numbers really don't seem microscopic when we are talking about something like killings
2) the protest is not purely about police killings, it's about all interactions with police officers and POC.
3) once again, you present your statistics as though they are the final say, end of argument. They really aren't.

1. They aren't even a rounding error. Inconsequential in the big picture.
2. Again the vast majority of those interactions end without incident. The same as those with NPOCs.
3. For most people they really are. It's a small problem that's been blown way out of proportion for the purpose of power and control, nothing more. The more our cities burn over this the more people turn against the "protesters."
