It's also a bit of a feedback loop.
The way some black people respond to the police is affected by the higher rate of unfair treatment by the police and justice system overall.
Self-preservation is a strong natural instinct and I can understand why a black person might feel compelled to run or resist more than a white person in a similar situation.
