Unless I'm reading your post wrong, what you just said is police officers should expect all black people to be more violent because some black people commit violent crimes. That's profiling, by definition. Black people are not hardwired to commit crime. The reason they do so lies within the system that so often condemns them to economic hardship and other forms of racism.
Police officers are the executioner in the justice system far too often. This applies to all races. I can understand police using deadly force against shooters. But saying the levels of killing unarmed black people are proportionally sound is inherently flawed. There shouldn't be any proportions. The police shouldn't be killing anybody who is unarmed, and certainly nobody based on the idea that black people commit more violent crimes. That is racist.
