They say that black people are killed by police in disproportionate numbers, and are incarcerated in similarly disproportionate numbers. https://www.naacp.org/

  I'm not sure that page shows what you want it to. It doesn't seem to account for the demographic distribution of people being caught committing crimes to begin with. Here's a thread with numbers from 2019 claiming blacks are actually killed less: https://mobile.twitter.com/LeonydusJohnson/status/1267466345844740098 https://mobile.twitter.com/LeonydusJohnson/status/1267466345... Here's a famous (now notorious) article from nytimes claiming there is no racial disparity when it comes to police shootings: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/18/upshot/police-killings-of-blacks-what-the-data-says.html https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/18/upshot/police-killings-of...

    Shootings is one aspect of overpolicing of the black community in this nation.

  Disproportionate relative to the general population. It is proportionate relative to the rates of violent crime committed. Consider the fact that men are killed by police to an even more disproportionate extent than black people in America - 9:1 vs. black's 4:1 disparity. Is this evidence of misandry of magnitude even larger than racism? Are we supposed to ignore that there is a similar disparity in the rates at which men commit crimes relative to women?
