One can also ignorantly say black people commit more crimes.  That's irrelevant.  They're not getting shot(murdered) at the same rate.
It explains it so simply laid out that someone as thick as a goal post could figure it out.

So you can't actually post a link and handwave instead. You just proved his point.

More whites are killed by police than blacks. Blacks killed by police are a higher percentage of the demographic, but only half the percentage of whites killed by police when violent crime rates are taken into account.

If you don't take violent crime rates into account then you'd say that males are violently discriminated against because females, while half the population, are close to zero in being killed by a cop. That would also be nonsense since females commit a very low percentage of violent crimes.

And I CAN post a link: Link

The allegation is that the entire criminal justice system gives blacks harsher treatment than other races.
The raw number of people killed by police can help us prove it or disprove it.
Normalizing that number to the percentage of population of each race helps us understand.
But normalizing it to reported instances of violent crime does not help. Those reports were generated by the system itself.
If I told you that a certain factory worker had calibrated all of the pressure gauges on his production line incorrectly, how would you figure out if I was right or not? You would need to compare his gauges to a baseline of gauges that you know work. You wouldn't just compare the readings on two of the gauges he worked on to figure out if I was right or not. You would compare one of his gauges to one of someone else's gauges.
