This population measurement is not useful for determining racism. It does not consider that blacks make up 13% of the population, but commit 52% of the homicides. It doesn’t consider if the shootings are justified. It doesn’t consider black cops shooting black suspects.
There is in general insufficient data to support or reject that there is systemic racism.
Here is a good article on things to consider
