^ Two sentences are really all Afro-Americans need to know:

It's also worth underscoring that while police violence against civilians disproportionately impacts Afro-Americans, so does murder. Indeed, the racial gap in murder victimization rates is larger than the racial gap in police violence.

Joe Biden is right about police funding It's good and Democrats should do it, 6 hrs ago

And that is why police (competent, not competent and inbetween) more often end shooting in poor minority neighborhoods: because they end up where the gun-related crime is, go figure.

Edit to add: Yglesias basically speaks to that point here: 

If you absolutely have to cut something, cut some of the paper shuffling social work jobs torturing poor people by making them spend all their time on paperwork, and waiting on both virtual and real lines.

It's probably not even more expensive in the end to spend more on vetting and training and having an adequate sized force on the streets because taxpayers save in the end not having to spend on lawsuits against police and trials of them. Yes, let's have so many standing around that they're bored with nothing to do, that's the point.

Very interesting, especially as these stats say different. (They must be stats created by the systemic oppressor?) Overall I find the "black people" stereotypes that are most interesting are the ones bought into by many "black people". (Where you think" "wow that's really racist", assigning a sub-culture to a skin color like that, but as a person with another color of skin, you aren't allowed to say.)

I actually hope some day those kind of black people will let MLK Jr.'s dream commence, and we'll just study the suicide rate among Americans. with maybe demographic divides of age groups and income levels...
