cops killing blacks vs whites
sum

concerning cop killings, it turns out that blacks are shot at a slightly lower rate per 100,000 than are whites.    This is true for Houston and there is no reason to assume Houston is more black-friendly than LA or NY or Chicago.    

However virtually everywhere in the US blacks are hugely more liable to be subject to non-fatal use-of-force encounters with the police.
