That's where it gets more complicated. Based on raw numbers yeah, it's still a bit high given white people make up 62% of the US. However we also need to take into account total interactions. Through design black people have way more negative interactions with the police than white people do and thus get a much higher chance of killing them than just their pure numbers, and yet don't.
Besides of course that many racist, pro-cop groups would have you believe that it's mostly black and mexican thugs and gangs and lowlifes that kill cops.
