Possibly.
According to a WaPo article I read a while ago, almost an equal number of unarmed white and black people have been killed by police since 2017.
By percentage of population in the U.S., an unarmed black person is 2.5 to 3.5 times more likely to be killed by police officer, but that doesn't mean that white people are not also victims of unnecessary police brutality. It's definitely a bigger issue for black people, but it's an issue everyone regardless of race should be concerned about.
