So, unless I have my data and facts wrong, which is totally possible, I think the debate will boil down to this.
White people, per interaction with police in the USA , are killed more often than black people. But black people have so many more interaction with the police their overall rate of being killed is higher.
So is there systmetic racism causing higher incidence interaction? Is it due to poverty? Is that poverty also caused by systmetic racism? What can be done by that?
These are difficult and nuanced issues so I expect it won't be discussed in general public discourse.
