  From a cursory look they don't seem to control for number of crimes identified in the race chart you're referencing.

  >How do racial biases play into deadly encounters with the police? Researchers wrestle with incomplete data to reach answers. >[...] But methods and interpretations vary greatly. A pair of high-profile papers published in the past few weeks1,2 come to seemingly opposite conclusions about the role of racial biases. >“It’s really contentious because there’s no clearly right answer,” says Seth Stoughton at the University of South Carolina in Columbia That entire article is about how the data doesn't definitively show any bias one way or another yet, why did you think that this article supported a "clear bias"?

  That first chart says that black males are at more than twice the risk to be killed by the police in there lifetime vs white males. Given that black males are 7 times more likely to commit violent crimes than white males (2013 I think), I wouldn't say there is necessarily a bias regarding police killings.
