Now regarding your claim that whites criminals are killed in greater numbers than black criminals, I'm sure that you have researched that, so I won't argue the point, except to say, that white population in the U.S. is around 61%, compared to 13% of black. It only goes to figure that white criminals are killed in greater numbers, wouldn't you think?

You are trying to support your argument by falsely associating one statistic with another. Although whites make up 61% of the population, they do not make up 61% of criminals. Black males make up 6% of the population, yet commit over 50% of the murders in this country. So, if you look at criminals and not the general population, blacks are not killed by police at a disproportionate rate.
