I am black. If I was in the United States I’d have a dashcam and would wear a bodycam if possible.

The data doesn't seem to back up your claim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_use_of_deadly_force_in_...

Deadly force isn't the only way police commit violence against impoverished Americans, or against Americans who aren't white (regardless of economic class). You don't have to be murdered by the police for your life to be effectively ended when they make up BS about assaulting an officer, resisting arrest, etc.

Completely agree. Although the data doesn't show african american's are killed at a higher rate(in fact it shows the opposite) it does show that they are discriminated against at a higher rate. Pulled over more, etc.

If I understood the data correctly, African Americans are pulled over more, then after being pulled over they are killed at the same rate as other groups.

That still implies they are killed at a higher rate. The population we're concerned about isn't "people who have already been pulled over".
