Something here baffles me as I review the statistics for U.S. deaths related to police arrests.?

Why are blacks rioting, protesting, and killing others when the National statistics clearly show more whites have been killed in Police Arrests than any other race ?

You are welcome to research the data just as I have , but ive exhausted myself wondering why so much effort being released when clearly more white subjects have always been arrested over all other races.   

I thought it might be because we know we have twice the population of white ppl over blacks, but we're not dealing with per capita here because we are only dealing with one reference point and that is Arrestees ..  socwe have to take our data from that starting point as not every American is an Arrestee

    According to the last U.S. census, 76% of the US population is white, and 13.4% are black.  Now look at the statistics- blacks are killed by police in a much higher proportion than whites.  You talk about "arrestees" but many of the police killings have happened to people who weren't even under arrest, or if they were they were not being arrested for a valid reason.  

    Additionally, I don't think the statistics are very important in this instance.  People are upset because blacks are being killed by police for absolutely no reason- some police killings are justified, so these statistics aren't really relevant.
