I think that a more important consideration is the percentage of people killed by cops vs. the percentage of cop killers. This should provide a more meaningful picture than simply going by percentage of the population. In which case blacks don't appear to be "more likely to get shot by the police".
But I have to say that this is a stupid discussion because you're ultimately making this about race and not police brutality. All this conversation about "systemic racism" is an obfuscation when Americans should be focusing less on skin pigmentation and more on the institutional failings of law enforcement. #BLM is poisoning the well and you guys are cheering them on.
