I think the statistics show that America is racist.
If a certain segment of the population disproportionately commits more crime, then it follows that they'll be disproportionately arrested, unless there's something fishy going on.
And if this population is having disproportionately more interactions with the police, then it follows that this population will be more likely to be injured or killed by the police.
And if police want to efficiently use their finite resources (man power) to minimize crime as much as possible, then it would make sense for them to focus on the segments of the population that are causing the most crime.
And if a judicial system notices that a certain segment of the population is disproportionately committing more of a particular crime, like selling drugs, then they'll hand out harsher sentences to members of these populations who commit these particular crimes as a crime determent.
This has nothing to do with race. It's just logic. The problem is liberals are more interested in emotions, feelings, and optics rather than truth, logic, and evidence.
