Another lie - whites are twice as likely to be killed by police than blacks. It is roughly a 2/3rds to 1/3rd split with Hispanic and Asians taking up a small percentage. Of course Black males only make up 6 to 7 percent of the US population.

Not quite right. While twice as many whites are shot by police, since there are about six times as many whites that means that an individual black person is about three times more likely to be shot by cops than a white individual. Of course the rate at which blacks commit crimes, especially murder, is far more out of proportion than 3/1.
