"False assertions". And are you familiar with the scene depicted?

That really depends on the source of the statistics then, wouldn't it?

Or interpretation of the statistics. The post I'm referring to used a chart,showing that police shoot twice as many whites as blacks, as evidence that police aren't racially biased. The census bureau reports that there are 5 times as may whites as African Americans, so blacks are being shot 2.5 times as often per capita.

Though one could argue that could be attributed to blacks committing half of all violent crimes.

One could also argue they just get caught more often.

What are you trying to say?

If you patrol an area more than another area the less patrolled area will have inherently less crimes reported.

Plenty of drug dealers live in affluent areas and get arrested less because there are less police Than in poor areas that have more police presence.

I said violent crimes, not arrests.

according to the FBI.

Not according to the DOJ. In 2019, 276,310 whites arrested for violent crimes, 172,980 black. Disproportionately black, but lots of other factors. Lower income, higher likelihood of arrest, etc. Definitely a problem. Again, though, this issue I addressed was that the chart makes the argument that there is racial bias in police shootings, not the opposite.
