It's impolite to bring that up because
OF COURSE there are more violent crimes committed by a group that has been systematically discriminated against for hundreds of years. What did you expect? So, what should we take away from that? Well, we should expect everyone to receive the same treatment from government organizations (and many non-government organizations) that deliver services to people, without bias. Just because black people
may commit more violent crimes as an adjusted ratio among black people compared to other ethnicities, is not a reason to treat a specific individual who happens to be black any differently from an individual who happens to not be black. The complaint of "black lives matter" is that there is a pattern of police abuse towards non-violent black people. So while you may be right in saying that there are more police interactions with black people than with other ethnicities, you are not right in saying that justifies the disparity in how peaceful individuals are profiled and abused. In fact, your reasoning perpetuates that injustice.
