And I would like to add this: In the vast majority of cases (both whites, and blacks, and any other race) people have put themselves in a situation where the police had to intervene (which is not a good thing to begin with).   And in most cases they didn't do what they were told, instead they struggled. Law abiding people don't count in those statistics (i.e. can't blame them for not being criminals), the only thing that should matter is the situation, and whether a black man (or woman) actually has more chances to get killed by the police than a white man (or woman) in a similar situation.
