There are more white women have kids out of wedlock that black women. Where is the outrage from white conservatives? All I hear the white conservative speak on are single black mothers. Where is the Fox news commentary on single white mothers?
The OP was not talking about percentages when talking about police shootings....so neither was I. We are talking absolute numbers....just like the OP was.

The ratio of white/black in the US is 6:1. The ratio above is 1.25 : 1.
This is why there are protests, the police have a higher propensity for killing unarmed black people than whites, almost 5x more.
And I would say you need to put that # (396) into perspective. There are approx. 700,000 police officers in the US with a population of over 300,000,000 (approx. 40+ million AAs) and everyone is crying about institutional racism and police conspiracies to genocide African Americans. Your .25 ratio, as if that even matters, is a joke in light of these numbers. This so-called institution and conspiracy is a huge failure.
Why is this a concern? Let me guess - only if 2376 whites were killed then all is good no racism right - RIGHT! Or maybe it would not matter to the race baiting politics that politicians and media concentrate on and distort into some sort of Grand Conspiracy of Whites.
There's nothing wrong with opposing police brutality or racism.
Why aren't conservatives standing up and questioning situations in which people are shot by police? Is it OK for the government to kill its own citizens?
If you're pointing out that leftists are hypocrites, of course they are. But it doesn't mean that every single leftist cause is invalid (even if 99% of them are).
Population and so on are unfortunately a critical component to this fabricated/alleged racist system.
No...you had the problem of not understanding the nature of my post. Why did you not point out the flaw in using absolutes to the OP....or did I miss where you did that?
There is still the question of why whites don't protest whites being unjustly killed by police.
Even on an individual basis, when the facts at hand in a particular case clearly shows the police were out of line, a white jury will still hand the case to the police.
And, interestingly, it's white gun owners who are beginning to call foul on this tendency.
