On a side note, some these police killings ARE about race, so you can't analyze every police brutality incident with a colorblind approach. Ignoring race would be ignoring any prejudice attitudes/beliefs that, in some cases, led to the death of someone, by law enforcement.

I'm sure there are other races being killed at a disproportionate rate more than black people if they have an even lower percentage. Your stats are based on there being lesser black people, not overall numbers. Also, the stats have nothing to do with the justification of the death. You just posted a video of an unarmed white person being shot by police. Immediately that chalks up to these statistics, even though the consensus was that it was deserved. The stats prove nothing.
If you REALLY want to pull those stats...do you REALLY want me to counter with the equally irrelevant stats which shows black people commit crime at a much higher rate despite being a lower percentage of the population.
(For the record, the above stat has MUCH more social reasons and race is a consequence but in no way relevant or an involvement. But the stat remains regardless. You are picking blanket stats to prove a point without looking at the actual ins and outs of the stat).
Some murders, including police ones, are about race. Absolutely. So what's more important to analyze...the race...or the fact that someone just DIED. Like...someone got fucking murdered...and you focus on "Oh, but he's a racist so he's bad". No, he's a fucking murderer so he's bad. I heard a story recently about a lesbian woman who was attacked at work by a man, who was being homophobic during the assault. She focused so much on the hurt of the homophobia, and I was like "WHo the fuck cares if he's homophobic? He fucking attacked you". Murder is the key headline...not racism.
I can also throw out a whole bunch of links of white people being killed by black police officers (or you know, 7 innocent white cops being murdered because of their race by a black man...the topic of the thread) but we both know when you said things can happen as a result of race...you're really talking about white people doing things to black people and not visa versa right?
Racists exist. Black ones, white ones, Asian ones...all ones. But when someone commits a crime as serious as murder, he's a murderer...who cares if he's a racist anymore? You wouldn't say "I can't believe Josef Fritzl said he's glad 9/11 happened" would you? Because who the fuck cares about the other horrible shit he did...the dude fucking raped and imprisoned his own daughter.
Instead of "black man kills white man" "white man kills black man" "black man kills black man" "white man kills white man"....focus on man killing man and you'll get to the ACTUAL hot topic of the issue.
This is why the Black Lives Matter protests are bullshit. They focus ENTIRELY on the death of black people at the hand's of white people. That's it. Nothing else. They don't protest when a white person is killed and they killer gets away with it. They don't protest when a black person kills a black person. Nothing. How can they be racially unbiased?
We're all fucking people. If someone is murdered, people shouldn't be making sure what skin colour they were before they give a fuck.
The worst part is, even with good intentions, the BLM movement is just spawning a new race of completely horrible and racist white folks. They are if anything making matters worse. Click any video of any dead black person at the hands of white cops and read the comments. You'll have plenty of complete and utter cunts trashing that person's history. Who cares what Trayvon put up on Twitter. Who cares if Mike Brown was a known felon. Who cares if Anton Whatever had felonies for days and wasn't legally allowed to be holding his gun. These things aren't important (unless you're countering the hilarious innocent media portrayals of these people) but with every PC person the world creates, they create the complete opposite type of person who is a complete and utter cunt just because of the push and shove of the world.
The whole thing's fucking stupid. One plus side I'll say is none of you brushed off things I said "because I'm white". I reckon shit like LB and the internet forums in general has allowed people to kind of integrate beyond race and whatever other bollocks ever being a factor. I've discussed shit with NOBLE before where he said black people are limited from birth (which I countered by saying tell that to the people who achieved greatness and that those limitations were merely obstacles) and he brushed it off as "How can you know? You're white" and then he proceeded to tell me what white people think and do cause apparently black people know white people but not visa versa lmao.
Race isn't fucking important and people not to stop treating it like it is. If I hear about "Cultural Assimilation" one more time ima bus' a cap in these niggaz.
