It seems that black criminals are more likely to be armed. Comparing the number of crimes alone vs. killings by police means nothing if you do not look at the types of crimes. Police are not as likely to kill a vandal or unarmed burglar as they are killing an armed criminal, especially one that has committed a violent crime.

In all crime categories which are more likely to be violent, blacks are over-represented.
