Your post shows exactly that, racism.

~72 percent of the US population is white and only ~13 percent of the US population is black.

Despite the ~60 percent difference in population numbers, nearly the same amount of white people and black people were killed while unarmed.

Your "logical" conclusion is because of more black people being directly linked to more violent crimes.

All of the shootings you are referring to, the victims were unarmed and possibly innocent. So, what does the "Violent Crimes" point of view argument have to do with it? other than justifying the shootings because of the color of skin...
