Let's see if you can make sense of an over-simplification and a hyperbole. for our example, there will be 1,000 crimes. 53% of those crimes are committed by black people. That means 530 out of those 1000 crimes are black criminals, and 470 are white criminals. Obviously, I'm leaving out any other races because it is an oversimplification. Using the numbers form the above stats, 457 of the 470 whites are killed, and 223 of the 530 blacks are killed. Obviously, that is a bit of a hyperbole but it illustrates the proportion of people killed by police.
