The exact same stats that are used to make the claim about blacks being disproportionately shot and killed by police. So they are wrong.

In 2014, Bill De Blasio, the present White Mayor of NY, who has a Black son [Dante], said, “We have had to talk to Dante for years about the dangers he may face, a good young man, a law-abiding young man who would never think to do anything wrong; and yet, because of the history that hangs over us, the dangers he may face we have had to literally train him as families have all over this city for decades and how to take special care in any encounter he has with police officers that are there to protect him.”
De Balsio, who lived his entire life in or near Manhattan said he did not understand this until he became involved with is future Black wife in early 90s.
I’ve said this in other threads on this topic, this is one extra peril to which EVERY upstanding Black parent teaches their teenage children, in addition to drugs, drinking and sex.
Aaron Rodgers, said he doesn’t get the fear, just like De Balsio said. But over the years, he has come to know thousands of Blacks and got to know hundreds quite well. He’s heard and believes the thousands of stories these men have told.
Mindy Kaling's brother faked being black to get into med school. He didn’t just check the box; he changed his appearance and immersed himself into Black culture, he effectively became Black. He said among other things that he had no idea the hate Blacks face on a day to day basis and that he learned that Blacks have a different speed limit; he spoke of how his interactions with cops became more frequent and made in fear cops for the first time in his life.
Then we have Marty Bennett’s brother being cuffed and told to shut-up or his head would be blown off [and a gun was put to his head]. It goes so far beyond just the executions.
This is not to pass judgment; but you said you were Native American and did nothing to help “your people” as corporate big oil poisons their land and savaged their sovereignty with things like the filthy DAPL. You’re simply not outraged by it. I bet you’d rise up and protest like a madman if Trump, after expelling all the Arabs and Hispanics and imprisoning the Blacks, ordered the internment of anyone with Native American Blood. Look inside yourself and imagine the outrage it takes for thousand to rise up and protest; for Kap and Bennett not to stand for the NA. And by the way, this is not totally outrageous, Trump’s backer’s ultimate goal is to purify the White American race! And all that support his “purifying” policies need to understand: You might be next!
The issue is REAL and it’s not going away until solved and it will be solved peacefully or with violence; you decide.
