D: Of course more whites are killed than AAs by police. Because there are more whites than blacks in the country. (Duh)
Blacks are 2.5 time more likely than whites to be killed by police. That is significant and is indisputable.
This report says 2.8
Victims were majority white (52%) but disproportionately black (32%) with a fatality rate 2.8 times higher among blacks than whites. Most victims were reported to be armed (83%); however, black victims were more likely to be unarmed (14.8%) than white (9.4%) or Hispanic (5.8%) victims. Fatality rates among military veterans/active duty service members were 1.4 times greater than among their civilian counterparts. Four case subtypes were examined based on themes that emerged in incident narratives: about 22% of cases were mental health related; 18% were suspected “suicide by cop” incidents, with white victims more likely than black or Hispanic victims to die in these circumstances; 14% involved intimate partner violence; and about 6% were unintentional deaths due to LE action. Another 53% of cases were unclassified and did not fall into a coded subtype. Regression analyses identified victim and incident characteristics associated with each case subtype and unclassified cases.

Although Black people represented 12 percent of the population in the states we studied, they made up 25 percent of the deaths in police shootings,” Miller says.
By comparison, Miller says, white people represented 62 percent of the population—and made up 54 percent of the deaths in encounters with police.
Like I said, indisputable.
The mmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeediaaaaaa
