The Population as it stands for the United States is 324,023,207.
Broken down as follows:
White 234,625,204 or 72.41%
Black: 40,859,326 or 12.61%
Asian: 15,391,102 or 4.75%
American Indian: 3,078,220 or 0.95%
Using "The counted", which is a reasonable site for statistics for those killed by police.
Out of 596 people killed by police so far;
49.3% of white people have been shot and killed by police this year.
24.66% of black people have been shot and killed by police this year.
2.13% of Asians have been shot and killed by police this year.
2.18% of native Americans have been shot and killed by police this year.
These statistics can be verified if needs be.
yeah, that's the exact stats in the article I linked, and when you break it down to the unarmed victims, a black male is 5 times more likely to be shot by the police then a white person. Read the article. You can't demand proof and then just ignore it when it's presented. Even with those stats and not taking into account armed or unarmed, you can see that blacks are being shot at twice their population. So it's going against your idea that white people are shot as much as black people.
