In cases where the perpetrator is under 18, the situation is worse - 54.3% and 74.1% respectively.
Considering that blacks constitute between 12-13% of the overall U.S. population, these numbers are extraordinarily bad.
It's what led Tulsa Police Department Maj. Travis Yates ( Top Tulsa police officer: 'We're shooting African Americans about 24 percent less than we probably ought to be' | TheHill) to state: “we're shooting African-Americans about 24 percent less than we probably ought to be, based on the crimes being committed."
Don't want to write a book - you guys are smart and can get the gist.

Those numbers are for arrests, but @40% of murders are left unsolved.
Shooting less than we ought to be si so fucking ridiculous it doesn't need commentary.
There are sooo many studies showing the racial disparity in arrests, convictions, sentencing, and parole decisions. If you don't accept that evidence there's really no point in discussing the issue.
