I mean, it does make sense that we focus more on police killings than civilian killings because police are held to a higher standard, and rightfully so, but, as the OP mentions, of course the activists do exaggerate things to pull at the heartstrings and cause people to worry more than they should. When I see a 40 year old black lady on tv saying she doesn't know if she's going to make it home each day because the police might shoot her, a law abiding citizen, just for being black in public... no, just no. That's beyond over the top.
Speaking of statistics, a lot of activists don't seem to understand that black people are 13 percent of the US. For instance, black people are actually overrepresented among coaches in the NBA, but you'll hear a lot of the activists and players say that most of the coaches should be black since most of the players are black, and therefore basketball is a black thing. 50/50 or greater than 50 % is not what equity means when you're 13 % of the population.
